My name is Ashley Ryan (middle name) and this is a space where I want to share all lovely details relating to décor, lifestyle, traveling, and much more. I like to think of this space as an online scrapbook of bits of my life. I was born and raised in Texas and love what the south has to offer. I graduated with an engineering degree from Texas A&M University (c/o 2007) and finished up two graduate degrees (in the summer of 2020 in under two years) from the University of Houston (Master in Engineering - M.E. and Master in Business - M.B.A.). I am a working Professional Engineer with experiences in various fields. However, my profession has not dampened my love for decorating and entertaining. Our newest home #the1920sheightsbungalow is probably our biggest undertaking to date and my favorite space so stay tuned for updates. Our older homes definitely show my evolution with design and decorating and you can check out photos of each following the links: the fixer upper - the bachelor pad, second home - prince, and first home - the loft. See more pictures on my Instagram account and hashtag #ashleyryanathome.

From the beginning of blogging I was a single girl looking for a creative outlet. Since then I have gotten married and we had our first child born in January 2017, see baby related post here. With these changes have come new information I share, but a heavy focus still on house and travel related content.

My husband and I are always thinking of places to go and see. We have so many amazing travel memories and I can't wait to share them with y'all and the many more to come, see all of our travel post here or follow along on my Instagram account and hashtag #ashleyryantravels!

Music is also a big passion of ours, especially live music. We are constantly supporting local artist and attend a few music festivals each year. We can easily spend hours at a time at local record stores. It is very rare that we are not listening to music whether we are at our jobs or just relaxing at home. #ashleyryanrocks

Eating is one of my favorite things to do. I have definitely expanded my eating comforts as I travel more and more. Like eating this alligator corn dog in New Orleans. See more pictures on my Instagram account and hashtag #ashleyryaneats.
