Friday Eye Candy: A Dallas Beauty

April 29, 2011 by Courtney 16 Comments

One of the best parts of finding delicious Eye Candy for the blog is that it also means it’s Friday! Yahoo. Hope you all had a really good week. Today’s feature is a Spanish Colonial beauty in Dallas which some of you may have spied in Traditional Home Magazine. This home is bathed in sunlight and hosts a very soft palette. The owners came from California and wanted to bring some of that influence to the home while designing it. The designer responsible for this breathtaking home is Julio Quinones. Here is what the homeowner, Ann Stordahl had to say “I wanted to keep the original, unpretentious character of the house and just crank up its sophistication a little with a better selection of furnishings to accompany the great art,”

 

VIA I just love how approachable the home seems. I happen to love both bedrooms. While beautiful, the house beckons you to come sit down and hang out. That, to me, is perfect design. Hopefully, you have all worked hard and are ready to play hard for the weekend. Enjoy!

    I love these rooms. They're so polished yet still look like someone could actually live in them. Thanks for sharing!

    When can I move in? That home is just lovely — looks decorated but still very livable.

    That definitely seems like a home where the owners want family and friends to be comfortable and yet surrounded with beauty. It's so gorgeous.
