Your mission, if you choose to accept it

Is to find something wrong with this home.  This is actually a bit absurd to me; I can't believe that a house like this exists in Houston, particularly with the proliferation of grand old Louisiana style homes in the area.  This mission-style home reminds me almost of a castle, particularly the great room.  And what a great room it is, with those heavy rafters and chandeliers dripping from the ceiling.  There's also something really funky about having windows inside a home but I think for me, it just adds to the grandeur.  That and the indoor Romeo and Juliet balcony.

I'll look for something more budget-friendly this week but I couldn't resist sharing this one.  Happy Monday!

  1. It IS a beautiful place, and so spacious! I´d love to have a really big home (if I don´t have to clean it myself)! :-)

  2. I LOVE that home! The only thing that makes me a little uneasy is that chandelier above the bed. But I think that's because I live in California and I have a fear of earthquakes. In Texas, it's the perfect detail. :)

  8. Those hardwoods are gorgeous! This reminds me of the style you often see in other parts of Texas, because you're right, Houston has more of a "Southern" influence on style than other cities in the state. What neighborhood is this in? (I grew up in Houston)

  12. In large homes like these, I usually feel like I could never even own enough things to fill them! The open floor plan is gorgeous, though. :)

  14. The inside R + J balcony .. I love it! Hmmm, wonder if they use it in place or a telecom system to annouce arrival of guests ... or the 'don't forget to buy milk'. I LOVE the fireplace wall ... eyeing it for my own home :)

  15. Ok... I'm drooling over here! How gorgeous can a house get?!? I was going to accept your mission, until you mentioned the R +J balcony... Then I knew there was no chance. More affordable is good, but these are perfect for dreaming.
