Design Home

A few homes in the Garden District do bear evidence of French influence. For example, this raised center hall villa emulates the grand plantation homes built by French colonists.

However, Gothic Revival -- a style that was extremely popular in many other U.S. cities -- was apparently a bit too much for the Protestants who initially settled the Garden District. The Briggs-Straub House at 2605 Prytania Street is the neighborhood's only Gothic Revival building.

Vieux Interiors – On The Move

Houston now has several great shopping destinations for antiques and decor – the Bissonnet-Kirby area is one, another is Lower West Alabama. There is also the Westheimer area, the Heights, and Ferndale. Each destination is home to many wonderful shops - after all, competition brings more customers. Lately though, the area around Upper West Alabama is the hottest destination, garnering lots of attention and traffic. It is teeming with antique and decor stores such as Indulge, Thompson-Hanson, 2620, Chateau Domingue, Pilie, and The Gray Door. Within just a few blocks along this stretch of Upper West Alabama, you can satisfy every need for the home – antiques, landscaping, bath, bedroom, architectural elements, furniture, and you can even satisfy your appetite at the trendy Tiny Boxwoods.

The latest neighbor to move in is Vieux Interiors. Last January, Vieux finally pulled up stakes from their former, God-forsaken address to move to 3701 West Alabama. I’m teasing about their former location, but honestly, I could NEVER find it!!! It was so isolated and out of the way, that I’m thrilled Vieux is now inside the loop!!! I dropped by the other day to say hi and check out their new shop. The store is large and bright with windows and doors that run along the front and back entrances. The merchandise is a wonderful collection of old and new - antiques mixed in the mid century designs and even contemporary pieces. There are also lots of accessories, things with a small enough price tag to make shopping guilt free. As usual, the staff is super friendly – DeWayne Formby might just be the absolute nicest person in the business.

The store is large, but nicely organized into smaller vignettes. This gray painted furniture section was one of my favorites.

Architecturally Significant Homes

Architect Eric Cobb designed this modern Seattle home to take advantage of the spectacular views of Mount Rainier, the Olympic Peninsula and the Olympic Mountains. The architect takes a minimalist approach by using a combination of clean lines, open spaces, simple geometric shapes and windows allowing natural light to flow, unobstructed, throughout the interior.
