Food blogger and commercial director Claire Thomas honors this Brentwood home’s heartwarming history. Jack and Marilyn Zuber lived in the Brentwood home for 65 years without altering anything but the wallpaper. Thomas even has photos of them digging on the site when construction first began. Out of respect for the home, Thomas tread carefully with her updates, even keeping the old drapes and using the original paint colors as a jumping-off point in researching color palettes of the era. Her approach was to "celebrate and preserve, rather than rip out and change."
Michelle White, a senior curator at Houston’s Menil Collection, her husband Haden Garrett, and their nine-year-old son Oliver sit on the porch of their Houston Heights home—a Sears kit home built in the 1920s. The couple worked with local studio Janusz Design to add a new two-story section that includes a laundry area, primary suite, and garage.
