Writer Candace Manroe makes note in her nicely written article that this eco-friendly home won Houston's ASID's Best Green Design for 2009. The homeowners joined Interior Designer Sandy Lucas in selecting various antique items to decorate and re-use in the home.
The magazine's holiday issue is out now! So go find yourself a copy. It's chock-full of wonderful, inspirational images that provide decorating ideas you may want to bring into your own home this holiday season. In addition to the Simon's Houston home, you'll get to visit another one in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. There's another located in Boston's Beacon Hill. And Designer Barry Dixon turns a diplomatic dining room into a "celebrated winter wonderland.
A holiday spread makes the breakfast table in the kitchen very inviting.

Hope you enjoy the issue! Many thanks to the Simons who allowed us into their home -- and who shared their treasured family traditions . . . .
NOW YOU CAN SEE IT ONLINE at Traditional Home.

Congratulations! And thank you so much for the extra goodies! Time does fly, I remember last year when you told me that this was on your calender. I've been patiently waiting.
Really nice job Susan & beautifully done in great Texas style! I look forward to sharing with family and friends.

This is the only magazine this year that did Christmas right!!! It was a spectacular spread. House Beautiful did not show one tree or wreath...I was so disappointed. Has being politically correct gone too far? Thank you for being a part of this lovely issue. It's a keeper!!
Hi Susan!
I was planning to email you tonight (before reading this post) to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing this gorgeous home in my new Traditional Home. You did a great job and the house is just lovely. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. xo Ann
