LONG ROAD HOME

IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO PICK UP A souvenir while abroad. But for one Texas family, this practice runs deeper: The Sayeds spent seven years thoughtfully updating their Dallas home with designer Denise McGaha, principal of Denise McGaha Interiors, all informed by their trips around the world. “As they would go somewhere new, they would get inspiration for a different space,” says McGaha. "The house evolved as a result of that."
