Evelyn Brooks-Callahan is the creative force behind DoubleTake Décor. A lifelong Austinite and NCIDQ-certified interior designer, she pairs a B.S. in Interior Design from UT-Austin with a master’s in journalism from Northwestern’s Medill School. Over 25 years of styling homes and leading national editorial teams, her posts weave age-positive design tips—ergonomic layouts, heirloom refreshes, budget-smart upgrades—into relatable stories drawn from real Hill Country projects. When she isn’t treasure-hunting at weekend estate sales, you’ll find her chatting with readers in the “Hearth Circle” community or keynoting design talks across Texas. Welcome to DoubleTake Décor, where every room deserves a second look—and a second life.
