This newly renovated 1925 Tudor Revival in the historic district of Boulevard Oaks in Houston, Texas, is home to the founder and creative director of Laura U Design Collective. A trusted architect and builder joined the designers in the 10-month project to restore the home to its original glory, and then some. Exterior improvements include uncovering and updating the wonderful windows and landscaping modifications to reveal the home and open the grounds.

A Tudor Revival in disrepair is ready for a 10-month renovation.

The dining room before redesign was stifled, with half of its windows sheetrocked over.

Double the windows means double the dazzle in the redesigned dining room modeling a distinctive Asian motif. Hand-painted wallpaper sets the color scheme of white, sapphire blue and ice grey — and the gorgeous crystal chandelier and Lucite curtain rods with gold hardware wrap the room in elegance.
