I have always enjoyed his clean, modern aesthetic and after doing a little math when I got home, I found that most of my Visual Comfort / Circa lights, are actually Thomas’ designs. It was incredibly interesting to hear about Thomas’ new collection and to learn where he drew his inspiration from. He is a very thoughtful, intelligent, and intuitive designer whose style is at once modern and classic, refined and relaxed. Everything has a purpose and a background story, which of course makes the pieces that much more special.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ypifai8wIEycDWwTaZ6LZH_P7m4GaVUewgcugPGnOdFUt1pi-VIc5vDJWT4qgZqy60cEOw7kK6QlProkfDFDYeLjyL5U-Q5qKkBo_Bt6Tb-1JIKV8wvJUBJeYNZxnRtogkKNmuchaRXz/s1600-h/P10407835.jpg"><img alt="P1040783" border="0" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga6rVA13G4wz_hj3oLHwixphMjzdwAPi__0mOZ0gv6Ju_ZZCBIqg99jyTjxcxPOVEfsjNfkQKQUmBe9V4Des0Ke6dLRJ2U7EgsXq62yQ39uTXTSI0yshYb02IkOd4J316LKmdB2nn9as_H/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1040783" width="516" /></a> </p> <p align="center">We can’t resist a photo op! </p> <p align="center">Pictured are Cassandra of <a href="http://cocokelley.blogspot.com/">coco + kelley</a>, Franki of <a href="http://www.lifeinaventicup.com/">Life in a Venti Cup</a>, <a href="http://tobifairley.com/">Tobi Fairley</a>, and me</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPtWVKlgd4pDtQ9SmJeAEZPrFo5b9NJWU3BqMjSN44xXc_NBLLF9RzFInodPJwydGuGEtW1Bg88PW3hWiRZJicqrVeEKqkUkf49tvQTbSn-x6cuFdIBl_H_zORcrD3hiJrSbrtaZa-cMQ/s1600-h/P10407744.jpg"><img alt="P1040774" border="0" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinuUYi14ZBrQf1_mWjvm_ePMixdp67OTfHxS6_URE0ieshjAmXJo1R_RHKiftMm2jQUHkoGHU6qIvDXXXsoRZGtGELjWmDI_od0VAgCs2eLylhRAgeJ-_ma7SWL0WaiIf5T9TBw55S250/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1040774" width="526" /></a></p> <p align="center">Thomas’ wonderful, layered style</p> <p></p> <p><img alt="P1040778" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT9fz7nFe2L_3va1R9Z_GFvwsoedW0DnrplJW2kHyyn09keIcIcATp4A2vHGV2KVDDzdm2uLVB3ptkfSfCZeSjOzHc3Zhd6wvjDHEy1CmOAgHeIBacSwBjFp7GyXsT3FoFKeisj607Na0/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="P1040778" width="364" /></p> <p align="center">I’m not sure if this was part of Thomas’ section of the showroom.

Texas French Home: Place des Vosges

I knew I would really like it as soon as I found out that all of the furnishings are from <a href="http://www.mecoxgardens.com/">Mecox Gardens</a>, the lighting is from <a href="http://circalighting.com/index.aspx">Circa Lighting</a>, and the art is from <a href="http://www.gremillion.com/">Gremillion & Co</a>.</p><p>The 5,900 square foot, $2.2 million dollar home has all of the features you would expect from a home of this caliber and more. Careful attention to every detail was paid by Bo and Scott Butler who designed and built the home along with sixteen other homes in this exclusive development. When I first received the invitation to tour this exquisite “Texas French” home, I was expecting something very different. Houstonians love the rustic French look which has been popular here for a good while. I knew it would be a little different since Mecox was providing all of the furniture, but they really gave “Texas French” a whole new meaning. The home is modern and chic.
