I have a few home remodels and revamps under my belt.  This latest one is finished.  It was just a small nest, but my husband let me do whatever I wanted so I ended up changing it from an all white bachelor pad that didn’t look lived in and transformed it into a fun, cozy nest for two.

Pretty much the only thing that is left over from his single days, is the dining table with nude angels on the base.  I mean, who doesn’t need naked angels around the house? Oh, and the single guy, creme leather sofa set in the front office.  It kills my soul, but he won’t part with it.

We took two bedrooms, and made them into our separate offices because it was a total waste of space to have spare bedrooms when literally no one ever comes to stay over night! We have sold two beds in the past 6 months, and I have one more in the garage to deal with.

This commercial grade flooring was completely scratch resistant and made life so much easier than the previous carpeting that was there before. I am using this same flooring in the bedrooms of the new house we are remodeling because it goes with anything, doesn’t show dust like dark wood flooring does and is so extremely durable and scratch resistant.

The kitchen was probably the best part of the house, with a large center island that makes cooking a lot more enjoyable.  The large crystal chandelier over it was the focal point of the area.  Black granite was used in the kitchen, as well as in the two bathrooms.  We could not bear the thought of having different counter tops throughout such a small home.

When it came time to list this home, it sold within a week. In the mind of a new homeowner, there was literally nothing a person would need a to repair or change, except perhaps the paint.  Paint is the cheapest, easiest fix for a new homeowner. Of course it is the first thing we are changing in the new place we found, along with the flooring throughout and a bathroom revamp.  (I’ll share those pictures once it’s complete!)

I had been wanting to share this little revamp of mine for months, but never had the time!  Now that we made the decision to sell, it seems the perfect time to share! We are super excited about the move and can’t wait to share the progress on that project!

TEXAS GLAM-ESTATE HOT-PICKS (vol 3)

(vol 3)

     Goodness.  It took me longer than I’d hoped to find a Texas home to add to the Luxor Glam-Estate list.  Then, I happened across this Georgian style home in my area of town…The Woodlands, Texas.
 
     I’d looked at some homes that were much more expensive than this one, which is listed at $4,750,000… however, just because they cost more, does not mean the decor is one I would feature.

     In some extremely large homes, the furnishings match each other perfectly from one room to the next, and sometimes the personality gets lost.
 
     This one has the black and white checkered marble look that I absolutely adore.

     Each room flows easily to the other, yet carries itself independent of the other.  
 
     If you’ve never been to the area, you can check out this previous post. The Woodlands is also about 3 miles from Old Town Spring, which is where we do most of our blog post photos from.

     This wine room is amazing! 
 

     The master suite is a bit to sterile for my taste, I prefer a bit more drama, but I do love that it flows into the most fabulous bathroom, which is probably where the party is!

     Amazingly romantic architecture and space.

     Very glam! Keeping it simple with fabulous white marble flooring.

     I love the cozy movie room.  I like that the sofas enable people to sit together rather than each person alone in their own recliner. I’m all about the intimacy. Well, and the animal print.  Look at the fabulous carpet!

     There is so much more to the Georgian style home, including fabulous landscaping and pool area, but I always love to show what I call…the money room.
 
     The money room is the home office area, in which I envision that someone must surely sit at least a few hours a day, wheeling and dealing and running the calculator, checking on investments, cutting checks and planning the next trip to Aspen.
 
     Most people say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, but hell, I say it’s the Money Room.  It’s the engine that fuels the machine and keeps the lights on.
