Luxe Showhome

Congratulations to Deborah Owens and Myrl Talkington for pulling together a really spectacular showhouse at the Creeks of Preston Hollow.  They had a fery short time frame to pull together furnishings for a rather large house, so they called in some favors from some pretty stylish sources:  enter David Sutherland, Allan Knight, Craighead-Green, and others who supplied furniture, fabrics, and accessories on consignment to make the house a success.   The tour benefits the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.

AIA Home Tour

The perfect weekend to look at perfect houses.  Probably not perfect, but definitely cool.  The Dallas AIA is sponsoring their annual home tour, call 214-742-3242 for tickets.  You’ll want the $25 ticket to see all nine of them, otherwise it’s $10 a house.  I have to promote my architect Bentley Tibbs, who is hard at work making Peggy’s Folly work.  I hope.  Anyway, if you can’t find anything to inspire you, you’re probably dead.

I want to be an intern at Wilson & Associates in my next life

They know how to party hearty.

Metallic Finds on Sale at Chiasso

The Plano-based online retailer has some big sales going on. Receive an additional 15 percent off all reduced merchandise and all items purchased are sales tax free, to which I can only say, “Nice.” I’m all about this slick skyline sofa in shiny silver metallic vinyl. Yes, it’s a bit hotel lobby-ish. But I’m transforming one of my spare bedrooms into a drinking lounge (because it’s the holidays and it’s time to get soused). I think this sofa will fit the bill to a Long Island iced T.

Weekend Shopping by Holly

I know what you are thinking. Is there anything even left in stores after two weekends of Partners Card? Yes, there sure is. Stores had products upstairs in hiding, just so they would have new stuff to whip pout after their stores were wiped clean.

Here is the scoop on sales you should check out: LFT is offering a 20% discount to all SMU students November 6-9. Oh to be in school again…

Nest is offering a generous 20% discount on all pillows and throws this weekend. I can testify that this sale is definitely worth checking out!

Last but not least, if you happen to do any shopping at Mockingbird Station this weekend SAVE THE RECEIPT until Monday at 5. Why? Because from 5-8, Monday-Friday Paperie & Co. will give free gift-wrapping for anything purchased in Mockingbird Station (with a valid receipt, of course). Score!
