THE BEST OF TEXAS LIVING. You have a personal invitation to come on in and enjoy this lovely Sophisticaed Gingerbread Cottage built in 1908 in Texas which was recently renovated in 2008. Selva and her daughter Jacqueline have invited us in to tour their home. Enjoy the many vignettes from floor to celings. You'll see what they collect and enjoy. Some of thier favorites include pictures, chandeliers, rugs, and clocks everywhere and angels from the front door to the back. Be inspired with new ideas to make your space the best it can be.
Standing at the front door looking into the foyer a beautiful display of mahogany and treasures.
This wonderful home features hardwood floors and 11 ft ceilings. Not all of us have that to work with but isn't it a plus??
A fantastic chandelier is hung above the dining room table to create just the right touch of ambiance.
Jaqueline says the victrola still works. She has over a 100 original records and enjoys listening for her own pleasure. The victrola is always a conversation piece when guests visit.
Magnificent oil painting and isn't the clock lovely?!
What a wonderful way to say "Good Morning" where there's always a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of iced tea.
Cookbooks are close by and there's always time to try out a new dessert.
Decorative items displayed above the cabinets. "How clever."
One of the bedrooms where rich color and plushness make you feel right at home. If you look closely you will see a pillow with vintage pins with rhinestones. What a great way to express a collection.
Pamper yourself in this soaker tub with fantastic chandelier.
Attention to detail has been the focus in this wonderful 100 year old cottage. The 2nd bath too is embellished with a chandelier with prisms. Too chic to be shabby!
Throughout the house all original hardware is still intact and glass door knobs glitter and shine. *Note * the vintage beaded purses and bags.
