The Bluebonnet Residence

The Bluebonnet residence by Mary Patton Design is a 6,000-square foot, nearly 100-year-old Tudor-style space. An eloquent marriage of Traditional and Modern elements situated in Old Braeswood - a neighborhood in Houston Texas with five bedrooms and five bathrooms with the original features, such as the brick-lined archway + windows, a sweeping antiqued staircase, and wood beamed ceilings.

Interesting historical details on the abode: the founder of Humble Oil (later Exxon) built the home originally for his daughter in 1930 that was designed by prominent Texas-based architect Camren D. Fairchild, where they lived for a few generations and then it was passed onto oil tycoon Glenn McCarthy and then eventually was moved in by a family in Houston with their children in the early 2000’s and have been living there since and commissioned Mary to Modernize the residence and preserve the Tudor-style details.

A sample of Modern-focused brands include: Design Within Reach, Tom Dixon, Circa Lighting, Farrow & Ball, Roche Bobois and a custom-designed Murano globed chandelier in the entryway from the 60’s sourced from an antique shop in Houston.
