WestburyMod

The unit next door is with the white Audi will appeal more to mod lovers. It's all original with very mid century furniture. The owner is a friend of my wife, and we have been there a few times. Most of the furnishing came from the shop on Milan.

Thanks. Theres a dwr on west gray i think.

I'm looking for an arch lamp, and been noticing the George Kovack line. I've seen some going for $200 online, so wondering if these are replicas. What are your thoughts on this line? Does anyone else carry arch lamps? Also, where is a good site to buy George Nelson lamps?

A buddy of mine bought a foreclosed home in the Fondren SWest area. He rehab'ed it very nice (all new tiles,carpet, granite, etc) and had a difficult time selling the home. And that area even sketchy in the daytime!!

What is the color code for your woodwork/trims? I like the greyish look. I'm in the process of repainting myself.

Do MCM doors typically have glass inlays? Good job on the color!

Jason, funny you mentioned growing up in a 1970's tract home in Sagement, I actually grew in there also. Went to Beverly Hills, and Dobie. Graduated in 1989, so there's a chance we went to same school. Small world..

Can anyone recommend a bricklayer? I would like to get a quote to do flagstone as my house wasbuilt in the 50's so matching brick may be out of the questiion. Do you guys know the going rate? Also, can anyone recommend someone to do bathroom remodel? Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. Since my house has floor to ceiling window in the front, I was thinking of planting horsetail bamboo within a bed of rocks... Well, at least I have this winter to decide..

Are there such thing as mid century landscaping trends? Were lndscaping rocks used frequently, and were sago palms a hit? In looking at Atomic Ranch mags, I've noticed rocks were frequently used, but I believe the homes portrayed are from Phoenix/ Palm Springs...

Good point as these will be winter projects. Definitely do insulation and fans. You're right about the return air. I need to make another vent as my house came with a 5 ton unit, Its so loud when the air kicks on. Who do you recommend for insulation? Thanks for the input

I have an 1800 sq ft ranch with very low pitchedalmost flat roof. I went up the attic to look @ insulation and its non-existent. Most of the attic is boarded up, so dunno how to insulate it. Also, there's barely enough space to crawl!!! I dont wanna tear out sheetrock to insulate either.. What do you recommend? Since I dont have any attic ventilation, there are grates alongside the house. I looked but did not see how fresh air can come up through the grates into the attic.. Also, what are your recommendations for changing out the roof turbine to an electric one? Is it worth the $$? Any recommended installers? Thanks.

I may be in need of a landscaper so Leo may prove to be helpful. Recently, my dad and I pulled about 100 pavers in the backyard, tilled/laid topsoil and laid down 3 pallets of sod.. It was painful, but well worth the effort. I should have gotten a sprinkler system installed also, but funds were running low... Anyways, todays rain should help the grass.

I'm in need of renovations myself. The wood in my porch is rotted and needs replacing. Currently its overlapping planks, and I want to use materials yielding a smoother look. I want to keep with the mod look, so hardie planks is not an option. What do you guys recommend? Also, is this a job for Champion Contractors or do you guys have other contractors? Thanks.

Congats on the house... Very impressive..

Thanks for the input, and I agree on your thoughts. What are your styles of rehab? Depending on the condition of the home, do you guys do the basic or extreme rehabs? I'm just trying to learn so sorry for the questions...

What is the price/sq ft in the Westbury 1 area, or is it the same throughout the other Westbury sections? I 'm a newbie to real estate properties, but I think Westbury 1 is more desireable. Also, when I purchased my home on Torchlight, the foundation was done, along with updating the electrical system/recessed lighting. There's 2 boxes currently used, and the previous owner added GCFI's and 3 prong outlets throughout. However, he left the remaining 2 prongs outlets also, so theres quite a few outlets. The AC was changed a couple of years ago. I went in a repainted the entire home, tiled the "wet areas", tiled the countertops, and changed out the plumbing fixtures, water heater etc.. We resurfaced the woodfloors. Total move in condition... What is the difference in $$/sq ft for a ready move-in home and minor fixer upper in Westbury? I totally agree on the need to beautifying S. Post Oak. When I tell people I live near S. Post Oak, they cringe.. Annie do make decent burgers...

Whats wrong with the neighborhood? Driving by, I thought it was peaceful, altho you're closer to the crime haven Fondren area..

I recently moved into the Westbury 1 area and new to Mod homes. I'm curious to the different style of Mod homes in my area, as well as my home. I'm hoping Westbury will be the next Meyerland (property value). But I've noticed there are many homes in Wetbury 1 that are in need of repair or TLC. I understand that renovations cost lots of money, but these homeowners should at least keep their property clean and presentable. The Glen Willows apartments do look slummy, as well as the many retail shops on S. Post Oak. And the rush hour traffic on S. Post Oak?? Where are those people coming from? I'm wondering if any of you guys live in my area, and can possibly educate me on Mod homes. Thanks.
