Dallas Defense

Sorry for my absence. I was mourning the trainwreck of Monday night’s Real Housewives of Dallas (which should more appropriately be named Real Housewives of the SUBURBS of Dallas). No offense to my suburb friends, but if they don’t live in Dallas county?!!!  Moving on….But seriously, those houses…Sorry, I am being mean….Also, true Dallas wealth is very private and tastefully unassuming…They don’t talk about “society”… Ok, off the soap box and back to more tasteful Texas topics.

How about a glimpse at some of the most beautiful homes in Dallas? I am talking about homes within the county line. Some grand, yet charming and some quaint, yet powerfully stylish. Iron staircases and three car garages aren’t always a symbol of luxury living. If you know how to give a home curb appeal and interior warmth, any home can be truly luxurious. Some people say good taste is something you are born with, and I would agree that Dallas county has some of the best genes.

Here are the REAL houses of Dallas, wives not included (nor would they ever want to be). These are all homes I drive by daily and all photos are by yours truly.
