It will not come as a surprise to you that I am mad for this house. It belongs to Kevin and Jane McGarry of Ft. Worth, Texas. Jane is an anchorwoman for NBC-DFW, Channel 5. She and Ft. Worth designer Ken Blasingame found they were sympatico and between his skill and their mutual taste, they created a beautiful home full of texture, color and soul.

wow! it's great! and what a bold kitchen! i have "commitment" issues so i don't think i would ever have the nerve to do anything like that, but applaud anyone who does!
ReplyDeleteIf there was ever a house that reminds me of you...Its just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour pics and your blog look great!
Wonderful and different from much of what we see currently. Ken Blasingame is also Laura Bush's designer from way back!
ReplyDeleteGreat house... love the color, especially the color in the kitchen... Fay
ReplyDeleteThere is no way to be sad in this house!
ReplyDeleteLove her designs, but just don't think I could be so bold in my house. I'm loving yours a ton better!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love your style! I'm going to subscribe to this blog immediately! I found it while looking around for photos of the interiors of Anthropologie stores. That store always makes me happy and inspires creativity. I needed a pick me up tonight...what can I say?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, quite the coincidence, but I have several relatives in Fredericksburg. Do you know Anne Strickland or Anne Sultemeir? They're my grandmother and aunt, respectively.
I have a blog as well, and posted photos of my trip down there for Thanksgiving. You might recognize some of the people in these photos: www.thepovertydiet.wordpress.com/2009/11/28/a-very-anti-poverty-thanksgiving/. Fredericksburg is a small town!
I'm so happy I stumbled across this blog. Thanks!
What a majestic front door and entry! I hope you'll let me know if you're ever in my Colorado neighborhood! I bet your home sells quickly and before you know it, you'll be launching new home-front adventures. Love your ideas! best -s
ReplyDeleteWOW!@ Such a great fun house. Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of the vibrant use of bright colours!
ReplyDeleteWhile I am such a neutral girl at heart, when I see a house like this is makes me reconsider my palette. GORGEOUS. The front doors are my favorite.
