Open House Sunday

A Man's Home is his Castle

This 1934 cottage in Highland Park, Dallas, Texas is like a small castle in it's details.

a pretty front walkway

golden light through the windows

stone floor, beams and stone doorways

I'm loving that chest to the right with it's painted mural.

oh...there's a sheep loose in the house!

Cozy living room with another sheep gazing out the window.

equally cozy kitchen. That's an odd kitchen island but fits the house.

Love the big window in the breakfast nook.

Those brick columns are unusual. Makes me wonder if this was originally a porch.

I believe it was...see the windows in the wall. I believe this was once a porch.

Another cozy room

An unusual rounded staircase.

quaint

lovely peachy bedroom

and bath also in peach tones

This home owner obviously loves a peachy pink.

Those little beds are delightful.

What a pretty bedroom under the eaves.

This side yard is ripe for an easter egg hunt.

Such a lovely space.

nice patio

Looks like the arbor has wisteria growing up it. I bet this is a knock out when it blooms.

I'm not sure what that is at the end of the walkway. Perhaps a very large toad house?

Another patio, this time with a wonderful faux bois table and stools.

Yes, this place is indeed a castle. 

It is the perfect setting for a fairytale.

Open House Sunday

A Mediterranean in Highland Park, Dallas

I'm not sure when this home was built.

At first glance I thought the 1920's.

The listing says built with the charm of the 1920's but then says it was fully remodeled in 2009 and then 

details on the house says it was built in 2003.

So I guess it was built in 2003.

But it sure looks old on the outside.

I love the white painted ceiling beams in this room.

Pretty barley twist chairs in the foreground.

The desk is another barley twist piece. More of that fabulous ceiling.

This home is shown at Christmas time. 

That's a gorgeous big tree.

Lots of fun decor and art in this home.

What do you think about that bright rug? I like it.

The rough ceiling is back in the kitchen.

It's a great big bright kitchen. 

A very pretty bedroom

Crazy wallpaper with a green cowhide rug. Love the daybed full of pillows.

Love the headboard in this room and the rug and chandelier.

Lovely white marble in the bath.

Gorgeous veranda

I'd live in this sunroom.

Oval pool out back. 

This house does say roaring twenties....does it not?
