Shin'enKan Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 To all of the mod lovers in Houston:This is being discussed on LottaLiving.com but it bears repeating here that you'll want to get a copy of Michelle Gringeri-Brown's new book. There are a number of spreads that include Houston mods, including an interior shot of Texasdago's house. Sweeeeet! The book has a nice balance of modern transformations to historic restorations with original everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasdago Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I just ordered the book last week - can't wait to see the interior shots. I was hoping they used both rooms that they photographs but I suspect they only used one. Time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdago Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Shin'enKan - did you get a copy? I spotted a picture of the front of your house when it was owned by the previous owner. You can tell they cropped out the mess he had by the driveway.We were excited to see our "conversation room" in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was in the book until after I made the first post on the forum. Now Michelle and Jim will have to come back to Houston to see the improvements!Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks, I've written a fan mail to them to tell them I love the magazine and told them about our house and since then I haven't really followed up on it. They were impressed with the pics I sent, so maybe there's a slim chance for some kind of before/after type spread.I need a publicity agent for the house or something, because right now I don't really have time to keep in contact with the editors and such of magazines I want to get it into.Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I got the Atomic Ranch book in the mail yesterday and yes, it is great! It was especially fun recognizing Houston houses. Houston is well represented in this book, as is Eichler, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
