Deep in the heart of Texas... OK, along almost every Hill Country highway in Texas; including those around wildflower-rich San Antonio, are the most beautiful blue wildflowers flowers that you will ever see. The Texas Bluebonnet is a type of lupen and grows rampant thorough-out much of the state ...

It is always exciting to see a new home being built for our clients.  This gorgeous residence-in-the-making is in Canyon Ranch Estates.  When complete in June 2010, it will be over 4700 square feet! You can see the big oaks on the lot and the arch-top windows that have been installed.  I can't w...

Finding information from various sources that support your pre-conceived notions does not make them FACTS. If your FANTASY says you can buy a distressed home in San Antonio, Texas for pennies on the dollar, you might be disappointed to learn that you do not want to live in a distressed home, or s...

When I looked in my mirror this evening, I noticed that I looked younger! Refreshed! Relaxed! No pills, no creams, no surgery and no dollars spent!  Easy as it sounds, I honestly don't recommend it.  You too can have these fabulous results by spending the better part of 3 days in bed.  It has bee...

I love draperies.  For me they make our San Antonio home look different from anyone else's home. Right now, I am looking at the the most beautiful botanical Waverly print, a coral floral damask taken from a Colonial Williamsburg print: It's alive with dogwood foliage and blooms, kangaroo paw, tig...
