Writer Candace Manroe makes note in her nicely written article that this eco-friendly home won Houston's ASID's Best Green Design for 2009. The homeowners joined Interior Designer Sandy Lucas in selecting various antique items to decorate and re-use in the home.
The magazine's holiday issue is out now! So go find yourself a copy. It's chock-full of wonderful, inspirational images that provide decorating ideas you may want to bring into your own home this holiday season. In addition to the Simon's Houston home, you'll get to visit another one in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. There's another located in Boston's Beacon Hill. And Designer Barry Dixon turns a diplomatic dining room into a "celebrated winter wonderland.
A holiday spread makes the breakfast table in the kitchen very inviting.
