A Houston Town Home Full of “Tailored Maximalism”
Name: Christian Location: Museum District — Houston, Texas I live in a rented town home in the museum district that I share with two college friends and my dog, Adelaide. The townhouse is about 2,200 square feet and the exterior is what I’d like to call pre-recession tuscan (it was built in 2007 and was probably inspired by the original Real Housewives of the OC, but on a much smaller scale).

To reconfigure the home, the homeowners brought in Kerry Farr of Farr North Interiors to tackle the small space challenges.

Blu Dot gets it, as seen in their cool modern furniture with a playful wink.
