It's now become a contemporary family home in Dallas that everyone could use and enjoy, with flexible spaces that allowed for entertaining in both formal and intimate settings.

The hallway
In the entrance hall, a Meridiani marble and a metal table topped with succulent arrangements by Grange Hall sit beneath an anamorphic mirror that resembles a mylar balloon.

Upstairs, the game room is ready for a night of fun playing “Space Invaders” on the custom arcade station or a movie on the drop-down screen.
Cloakroom
The cloakroom / powder room ties in with the theme.
Kids' bedroom
The kids bedroom features a calming, all-over blue scheme, with blue patterned wallpaper, blue carpeting, table lamps and accent cushions. The curved, upholstered headboard and statement bedroom lighting add glam factor.
