Home Tours - Texas and Massachusetts

Home Tour

Texas

In April of 2021, we moved into our new home in North Texas.  The neighborhood is across the street from our old house.  The search was not easy; homes were sold within minutes of being listed.  We had lost out on two houses.  We were fortunate to have an aggressive realtor who understood exactly what we were looking for. She arranged for a viewing of the home before it hit the market.  

The minute we entered the house, we knew that we had found our home.

The house checked off almost all of the boxes.  We loved the layout and also the fact that it got so much light.

Our thoroughly darling Mille joined us a few months after we moved in.

One of the boxes checked was a study for the Mister.

We sold almost all of our furniture to the new owners of our Massachusetts house.  We ordered a lot of the furniture within minutes of signing the papers on the house.

Another box that was checked is a spacious great room with plenty of seating.

Another box that was checked that was very close to the Mister's heart was a spacious kitchen.  An added bonus is a large pantry and plenty of storage space. 

 There is one problem, though, I can only reach one-tenth of the space.

My favorite part of renovating a house is decorating the powder room.

Welcome to Blog Central.

Welcome to our boudoir.

Last year, I was thrilled to do a partnership with my favorite bedding company, Boll and Branch.  I kid you not... these sheets stay sparkling white and get softer with every wash! 

Her Ladyship's quarters.

We also needed a guest room for our New Yorkers when they come to visit.

My laundry room is convenient to the master bedroom and spacious.

A must-have on my list was a screened-in porch.  We had rolling screens installed when we moved in.

And we also added an outdoor kitchen for the Mister.

And of course, the Mister had to have his garage brought up to snuff. 

Thanks for stopping by!

This home tour encompasses our new/old home in Massachusetts, which we moved into in December 2013.  This house was a labor of love.  It was built in 1890, and my husband fell head-over-heels in love with it online the day we found out that we were being transferred.

In October 2020, the Mister retired, and we moved back to the great state of Texas to our former hometown.    

  
I hope you enjoy the tour.
