This Houston home was designed to meet the lifestyle needs of inhabitants, a couple of empty nesters who love to travel and entertain — this includes their children, grandkids and friends. To accommodate, the homeowners wanted their living spaces to be comfortable enough for a crowd, yet intimate enough for just the two of them.
What We Love: This Houston home provides its owners with a chic and inviting home for hosting family and friends. Despite its stylish living spaces, this home feels warm and welcoming thanks to its layers of textures and use of wood accents throughout. We are loving every detail in this home, from the stunning kitchen with its exquisite light fixtures to the beautiful outdoor dining pavilion to enjoy all year-round.
