Houston Home Crush.

Remember this fabulous Houston home that I was still am slightly obsessed with?  Well, I recently came across another amazing Houston home, via the Newlywed Diaries, which was featured in Lonny last year.  Like the previous house, this one is also a perfect example of mixing traditional and modern.


I just want to sit down in the perfectly worn leather chair and read a book (or just admire the space).


The pops of pink work beautifully in this room! 

 
See that gorgeous antique secretary back there?  They repurposed it as a bar!  Genius!  I love that the stemware is displayed behind the glass.  And I spy gray and white stripey straws! 


How stunning is the dining room?  What an unexpected color, but it works so well with the white.  The table and chairs are lovely.  I am totally digging that chandelier. 



What a fabulous view looking back into the living room.  I would always want to sit on that side of the table!  How fun are the rug and the lamp globe in the entry way?  Everything works together so seamlessly.   


Of course, the kitchen is great too.  Love the open shelving and all of the natural light.  And check out the floor!


The bedroom is just fabulous.  The bedding is so pretty with the scalloped edging.  I'm also loving the gallery wall above the bed.


Who doesn't want a fireplace in the bedroom?  This one is styled just beautifully.


The wallpaper just screams glamorous!  And the glossy black door is a showstopper.  


One thing I noticed in nearly every room were well-styled vignettes (and fantastic gallery walls).  How pretty are these?

It is so fun to get to peak inside some local homes that are absolutely gorgeous.  This house makes me want to put up several gallery walls, as well as scour craigslist and thrift stores for some antiques!

  2. I am crushing on this house too. It is simply stunning and stylish. There is something about Texas homes that I heart. While I live in California, I cannot tell you how often I've told the hubs that we need to move to Texas. A girl can dream...
