Through the front door (which you should never leave open, especially in the rain, otherwise Patti and Selma will escape and get three neighborhoods away before you even realize they're gone. If I was a better blogger you would have already heard me tell two similar stories.)
This would be to your left...
Along with our bedroom...
And to your right would be the Office...
The office was arranged to look like this office I saw in Pottery Barn:
Special thanks to Leslie and Ryan for the laundry hampers and round glass tabletop which serve as our desks and the bookcases and drawers. Also special thanks to Granny, Ruth Ann and mom for making the office resemble the picture using what we already had.
The office, front door and dining room...which isn't really a dining room seeing as we don't have a dining room table.
So then if you follow the hallway...
And take a left you'll see the reason I wanted this house.
This "nook" if you will, was a big hole when we first saw the house and I knew immediately what I would put there. After we moved in I showed my father-in-law, Jeff, a picture of what I wanted and he designed and built the entire nook in his shop in Austin. He and Preston both assembled it in our house and it turned out even more beautifully than the original picture I had seen. It is my personal favorite part of the house.
Down this hall are two bedrooms. I only took a picture of one because the other has an air mattress and an armoire...not too exciting, but this my friends is YOUR room if you come stay with us!
And this is for you too...
The guest bathroom... 
If you were to go back to the main hallway you would reach the Kitchen...
And Living Room...
Mom says this is a den but I've never called anything a den so this is our Living Room. Please note the super awesome "coffee table" my mom found for me at Round Top. Restoration Hardware sells these authentic antique lumber carriers for way too expensive and when my mom called to tell me the story about this one I fell in love. Yep, fell in love with a coffee table. Apparently the guy who sold this one to my mom used to sell them directly to Restoration Hardware. After a while, RH decided to just have replicas made in China so he no longer sells to them but he still sells at Round Top for less than half the price of RH! Plus, he adds wheels to the bottom that can be put up or down to stabilize the table and none of the other vendors at RT were doing that. Also, my friend Brittany reminded me that when kiddos come around you're going to want a safe coffee table and this one had rounded corners. I love you new coffee table yes I do!
The butler's pantry is attached to the kitchen...
And the Laundry Room...
And if you head upstairs you will find Preston's favorite room in the house...
The Media Room.
This cute little office is upstairs too that I think I might turn into a craft room one day.
Well there you have it! If you ever need a place to stay in Dallas, we'd love to have you over! Happy Halloween!
