Inside an Exceptional Dallas Home That’s Filled With Antiques and Vibrant Hues
The gut remodel of what is now a vibrant, welcoming home for six in Dallas’s Highland Park neighborhood was a truly multi-family affair. A second-generation leader behind Sees Design, Corbin See—alongside his wife Sara and brother Ross—worked in collaboration with Harris Briggs, a second-generation principal at Dallas-based firm William S. Briggs Architect. The goal? To bring Catalina Gonzalez Jorba and Santiago Jorba’s dream home to life.
Catalina, the founder of children’s clothing brand Dondolo, came into the collaboration full of ideas about how to ensure that the home would suit her personal aesthetic as well as her family’s entertaining needs. (Catalina was familiar with See’s style—which she had admired at the inaugural Dallas Kips Bay Decorator Show House.) She appreciates both color and pattern play, and was excited to have wallpaper integrated into the home wherever possible, See recalls. He covered the entryway with a custom Gracie wallpaper, which pops against the checkered floors.
In the formal living room—which is sometimes considered the library or study in this home—See combined florals, leopard print, footed pieces, and more. The decorator notes that he appreciates “a historical collection of things, rather than just a random mix.” He adds: “My dad [once] said, ‘Great things go together.’”
A Murano chandelier dazzles in the home’s formal dining room. “It was one of the very first things we bought,” See says, noting that Catalina wanted the dining room to have dramatic flair. The clients’ art consultant, Temple Shipley, sourced many pieces for the residence, including the abstract shown here. “I wanted our home to be a place of happiness and for every room to truly have a heart and have feelings,” Catalina says.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a peaceful respite devoid of bright color. “The bedroom is kind of like a treehouse,” See says. Catalina desired a canopy bed for the space, and the wallpaper is a custom de Gournay silver metallic silk. Inspired by a set of 18th-century panels displayed in the Victoria & Albert Museum, the pattern, Earlham, features birds, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms.
Connected to the bedroom is Catalina’s home office, a vibrant space that reflects the ethos of her brand. See installed The Colony wallpaper from de Gournay; a print that appears in the lobby of the famed Palm Beach hotel. “I loved working with Sees [Design] because they let me express my feelings that I had for every room,” Catalina says.
Down the hall is a bedroom belonging to two of the couple’s young sons. “We really wanted to focus on the kids’ rooms and not have them be secondary,” he says. The family enjoys gathering for meals in the downstairs dining nook, which boasts an intricate, celestial-themed ceiling and a Paul Ferrante chandelier shaped like a ship, which pays a nod to the Delft tile from Regts Delft Tiles in the kitchen that features similar nautical motifs.
See went colorful in the kitchen but paired the green cabinetry—painted in a mix of Farrow & Ball Breakfast Room Green and Farrow & Ball Calke Green—with more subdued furnishings in the form of counter stools from Hollywood at Home. The family room, which is also part of the kitchen and breakfast room, features a fireplace surround that incorporates the same Delft tile used in the cooking space.
Catalina says that she wants her four sons to “grow up really inspired by art and color and just to feel alive,” and in that, her family craved a home conducive to memory making. She reflects, “I think just living [here] for a couple months, we have achieved that, and it feels very, very amazing.”

Family shares memories of mother and toddler killed in Dallas apartment explosion
The family of 38‑year‑old Marisol Perez and her 18‑month‑old son, Erik Jr., is sharing their grief after the two were killed in Thursday’s apartment explosion and fire in Dallas’ Oak Cliff.
The blast at the Clyde Apartments also claimed the life of community activist and Democratic Party precinct chair Sylvia Collins. Five others were injured.
Marisol’s sisters describe her as a devoted mother and a deeply loving person.
“She was a dedicated mom and a good person… she had a good heart and wonderful intentions,” said Maria Lopez, Marisol’s sister.
Family members rushed to the scene after receiving a call from police, hoping Marisol and her children had made it out safely.
“They told me they couldn’t find my sister and her baby. It was devastating,” Lopez said.
Daughter rescued from rubble
Marisol’s 9‑year‑old daughter, Vanessa, was pulled from the rubble by a good Samaritan moments after the explosion. She turns 10 on Monday.
“We don’t have any words to thank him. We are so grateful,” Lopez said.
“He risked his life. Anything could have happened when he ran across the street to get her,” said sister Nora Carmona.
A close-knit family grieving
Marisol was one of four sisters, all of whom said they shared a tight bond.
“We called her Mari… or güera,” Lopez said.
“Every special occasion, she wanted me to do her makeup and hair. We’d laugh and bond. I miss it so much,” said sister Rosalinda Martinez.
The family says they are now focused on supporting Marisol’s husband, who was at work when the explosion happened.
“He wants justice. He knows this was not just a tragic accident. There have to be answers,” Carmona said.
Vigil planned for Sunday
The family is inviting the public to a vigil in honor of Marisol and Erik Jr. The event is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Sunday.
A GoFundMe has also been created to help with funeral expenses.

H-E-B files construction permit for Dallas location, next step towards 2028 open
H-E-B is one step closer to opening its first location in the city of Dallas.
The grocery chain filed a construction permit for the store at 635 and Hillcrest Road on Wednesday.
According to the permit, construction is set to begin in March 2027. The store is projected to open in September 2028.
When plans for the location were first announced last year, some neighbors raised concerns about the development. Those concerns included increased traffic, noise pollution and crime.
A primary concern is congestion in an already high-traffic area. H-E-B says it plans to add turn lanes and make other upgrades to ease congestion, but neighbors still have concerns.
When the zoning request was still being considered in December 2025, some drew comparisons between the abundance of grocery stores in northern Dallas to the long fight to bring more grocers to food deserts in southern Dallas. The rezoning request passed 14-1.
In a statement, H-E-B wrote: “We appreciate the thoughtful consideration from city officials, staff, and community members throughout this process. We are committed to serving Texans and look forward to bringing our first H-E-B store to the city of Dallas.”
Benjamin Scott, Group Vice President of Real Estate and Shopping Center Development for H-E-B said the new store will bring 800 new jobs and an estimated $24 million in tax revenue to Dallas over the next five years.
