added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: An 1850s Ancestral Home in Texas Rises Again

The clients and the Volzes threw themselves into researching the home's rich history while assembling a master plan. The wife had assembled family archives, photographs, interviews, handwritten family memoirs and letters. There were also a few Historic American Building Survery (HABS) photos taken in 1936 of the two parlors that designer Candace Volz analyzed down to the smallest details. The restoration portion of the project included historic finishes (such as faux marbelizing and stenciling), refurbished vintage light and plumbing fixtures, antique furniture, custom cabinetry and millwork, encaustic tile, new and vintage reproduction appliances, and historic reproduction carpets and drapes. The original Greek revival–style house was built in 1857; one of the new additions, seen here on the right side, doubles the square footage of the house.

added by Laura Gaskill to Outfit a Southern Plantation-Style Home — Paint to Porch Furnishings

A unique blend of elegance and down-home practicality, Southern plantation-style homes exude charm and grace. Key features might include columns, wide porches (single or double), shutters and — if you are lucky — mature trees dotting a vast lawn.
