Rosemary Beach Open House


Picture 3

This is my dream house & I got a little tour two weeks ago while my Mom was considering buying this home. (Keep your fingers crossed, she put in an offer!)

Here are the non-professional photos that I took. Be sure to check out the MLS listing for better pictures & a virtual tour.

Walmart Rugs

Have you searched walmart.com lately?  I have ordered rugs from them before. I love it!  When you order, make sure to order "site to store". This makes returns so much easier & no shipping costs!

When you search on walmart.com, do a brand search for: Safavieh

Here are some rugs from this brand...

Yes, Byron & I did a lot of the work. We can take credit for all the design but (and I mean a huge BUT), this would not have been half as enjoyable, on time & under budget without these amazing individuals. If you live anywhere near Houston (these guys travel ALL over), you want these talents in your corner. Make sure you tell them you're one of my friends.

And last but not least, my house cleaner, Alyeda Pineda. I would not have been able to keep my sanity without this angel. She loves my house just as much as I do and my son more. 832-875-0330 cell/txt
