The owners did a fantastic job - it's not easy to turn a typical suburban Texas home into something unique, and they did exactly that. Yes, it is not 100% modern with crown moldings and chair rails and curved staircase railing. Yes,ceiling vent and recessed lighting in those homes is not placed by Frank Lloyd Wright's drawings. So what? The fact that the structure is new does not mean it has no charm or merit - in fact, I bet that this house is more energy efficient than some of the glorified New England and California one-bedroom apartments.

You can go buy a truly designed modern house in quite a few Texas burbs by the way - the problem is that those run 3x per sq ft and construction quality is often 'experimental'. Not worth the price for most common folk.

This family achieved a great look without ripping apart the standard features - I admire their creativity because it's easy to forget that this lovely colorful home is MCM based - and that's the whole point.
