Modern Homes Tour Success!!!

Discussion panel at Bo Concept

People!!

Saturday was a whirlwind of a day! Of course we just narrowly had the house ready to show, with a two year old around it is like trying to fill a colander with with water. Luckily she happily went to play with cousins and aunts that morning so we could get "Show Ready". With snow still sitting on the deck Saturday morning, I was not optimistic about the turnout- however once things got rolling it was quite crowded all day, estimating about 1200 people. We were also happy to host the lovely folks at Chameleon Cold Brew Coffee, they set up a sample station in the courtyard, unfortunately I could not sample the yummy looking coffee with 3 times the caffeine due to my "condition" (8 mo prego)- but Patrick said it was quite good.
That night I was on a discussion panel about Modern Residential Architecture at Bo Concept downtown moderated by Ingrid Spencer of Architectural Record and Kristina Wise of the Good Life Team. Also on the panel was the Director of the Interior Design Program at the Art Institute of Austin, Nick Mehl, Scott Specht and Kevin Alter. I was also having "wardrobe issues" due to my condition once again, not happy with the outfit selection that I ended up having to wear all day as there were still about 125 people in my house when it was time to depart for the panel, kind of makes changing clothes a bit awkward!
All in all a "great success" and a fitting send off to my 8th street baby as we inch near closing AND the start to another build! More to come....!!
