Our dear friends Patty and Paul Brown are selling their beautiful home in La Grange, Texas. La Grange is the county seat of Fayette County and has such a cute Square and downtown area. It’s about 30 minutes on the other side of Round Top opposite the direction where we live in Brenham. It is near a historic brewery and just such a pretty area. Every time I go to Patty’s I am amazed at the landscape, sunsets, and her trees. But what really amazes me is the attention to detail Patty went to in building this house and following inspiration from an official Southern Living Idea House. We all love a good house tour and especially a Southern Living Idea house!
And what amazes me is how all of it has stood the test of time. Classic choices remain classic! (Except the computer) The beautiful stone and fireplaces still resonate. And the Viking range is still going strong 20 years later.
Patty says she must cook with fire!
Patty asked me to help her freshen the house recently and all we did was edit some of her accessories, paint and update kitchen tile. Her gorgeous original Viking range of course still looks amazing. The rock accents still read Texas Hill Country at its best. These exterior views never get old either. The island color reminds me of their great Texas sky views! Day and night!
The original paint colors through the home were SW Bleeker Beige, Manchester Tan and a lot of Navajo White. We chose SW Westhighland White to freshen up the walls and most spaces but kept with a bone beige color for the cabinets. I love the Benjamin Moore Colonial Williamsburg colors they never disappoint! It give that English manor house kitchen look but is still fresh and not gold and works well with the quartz marble look countertops.
For more info about the house contact Lilla Blackburn at Round Top Real Estate. Click over to the listing to see more photos including the gorgeous pool. I am excited to see who buys this home. It’s a treasure just like Patty and Paul! Don’t move too far away from us!
