Judy and Gary downsized to a darling house on a fairway. It really is not little – Ever-Lovin’ thought of the title for this blog. Humor him. Just look at this view from their back patio. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I do love, love, love the iron fence. Judy and Gary did so much to […]
On the last night of our tour, we were taken to Brockfield Hall, Warthill, York, England for a “Be My Guest” English dinner. It was a chance for us to rub elbows and have dinner with almost royalty in an stately English home. The bus couldn’t go up the narrow lane to the home. I […]
Kristin invited us for a home tour. Yea! For a month of Sundays, I have been waiting to visit Kristin home again. And the best part is – I get to share this beautiful home with you. Love the exterior. Grey painted bricks, black shutters and white accents give a fresh crisp look to the […]
Can you imagine staying in one of the loveliest historic homes in Henderson? That was our privilege during our recent East Texas journey. The Mr. and The Mrs. are related to Nancy who inherited the McNee Home. Nancy graciously allowed us to stay at the McNee Home during our visit to Henderson. We are blessed. […]
Backstory: Ann and Bob recently slightly downsized and moved back into town. They had lived in the “north forty” – Lavon, Texas – over thirty minutes one way from Richardson. Living in Lavon was a challenge for these two active involved people. Everyday was like a big logic problem. Appointments had to be scheduled […]
A blog in three parts – a tri-blog if you wish. THE HOUSE: Beautiful. Be still my heart. Just walking up to the home made my heart begin to go pitty-pat. Azaleas in bloom, mature trees, and topiary shrubs greeted us as we visited 6325 Preston Parkway. “This classic Tudor home was built in 1936 […]
I liked this home. Perhaps it was because it was filled with antiques that I would buy if …. Pat told me that the speaker at the luncheon mentioned that this home is a good example of updating that has “maintained its integrity by keeping all of the original hardware and replicating architectural details during […]
Perhaps sharing information about the four homes on the Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society Home Tour would be too much for one blog. The good news is – I could take pictures inside the homes this year. The bad news is – sometimes I was too shy to take pictures. All in all it […]
1620 River Oaks Boulevard in Houston, Texas must be the home of American royalty. Be still my heart. I know I have lived a sheltered life, but I thought I had been in a couple of very very nice homes. Once I even got to go inside Mount Vernon, Ruth Hunt’s home on White Rock […]
Bayou Bend – I like it. I love it. If I lived in Houston, Texas, I would visit Bayou Bend regularly. Bayou Bend is the MFAH house museum for American decorative arts and paintings. Displayed in the former home of Houston civic leader and philanthropist Ima Hogg (1882–1975), the collection is one of the finest […]
