This 70's split-level ranch had a 'shotgun' Kitchen and 'Sunroom' which blocked light coming into the rest of the home. The Owner's wanted a better working Kitchen; a more inviting Family Room; and a 1st floor Owner Suite.

Genesis Homes of Iowa- This home was designed with the home owner’s needs, wishes and features in mind.

Appearing as though this structure has stood in it's current spot for decades, this amazing pool house was created by Restoring Texas using mostly reclaimed materials harvested from local dilapidated Texas historical structures. Particularly, the siding, columns, doors, windows and many of other elements were salvaged from a Texas Craftsman style sharecropper home built in 1930. The tin was taken from the roofs of an early 1900's Texas barn. Historic signs such as the "Poss Pool Palace" sign bearing the name of its owners are reproduced and personalized by a local artist. Restoring Texas works closely with skilled builders and designers, and of course the home owners, throughout Texas to build these amazing works of art.
