Kitchens and Baths are In, According to Architect Tom Wilson

Award-winning architect Tom Wilson designs a range of magnificent homes, from large 
to small, and in both traditional or contemporary styles. While Wilson's firm is located in Houston, he takes his expertise to wherever his client wants to live. You can see more 
of his work by going here. My favorite all-time stone house is one that he and Interior Designer Ginger Barber collaborated on here in Houston. This link will take you to the photos and the story about it.  
                                                                                                                                              
Tom also joins this week-long progression of What's In and What's Out for 2011.
