This is not even #1 it's #24 on the list, it belongs to Trudy and Bob Ladd. House photography by Gustav Schmiege and Scott Womack
Who says Texans aren't living large. You have to know that the houses here are huge, like everything else. We're not just a bunch of cowboys riding around on horses, however that would be fun. No, Texas is much, much more than that.
If you don't believe me, check out this list of at least 100 people, I dare say multi-million/billionaires, that have made their home, not on the range, but in "Big D". Home of "The Dallas Cowboys", literally, owner Jerry Jones, and former quarterback Troy Aikman made the list! So did Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban.
Listed at #1 is a 28,996-square-foot house on 25 acres, valued at $41,462,030.
Take a look at the list, I found it to be very interesting!

Family Room Before Home Staging
Family Room After Home Staging
If you are reading this you are probably interested or have heard of home staging and live in or around the Friendswood area of Houston, Texas.
No matter how big, or expensive or beautiful a home may be, every home can benefit from a home staging consultation. Most every home seller is emotionally attached to their homes and don't understand why others may not feel the same way. That's understandable, it's your home and you live there because you love it!
Do you have a home in Friendswood that is not selling? Has it been sitting on the market all or most of the summer, with little or no traffic? Are there several houses for sale in your neighborhood, or on the same street? Are you paying two mortgages, insurance, maintenance, and other dues? Have you moved on and your home is now vacant?
If so, we are here to help. We offer an unbiased opinion of your home and what can be done to help get it sold. Our home stagers will go from the curb to the back fence giving you recommendations and suggestions, advice and cost effective ideas in areas that may need to be addressed. We also include paint and color consultations with a home staging consultation.
If you are in need of other services we can help you there too. We are a full-service home staging company and offer a complete line of furniture and accessory rentals for vacant homes.
90% of buyers coming through your house can't visualize themselves living there. 87% of people start their search of home buying on the Internet. How does your home look? Does it lack that "wow" factor?
Maybe it's time to give us a try, instead of reducing your homes price again.

Here's this weeks Recipe coming to y'all from deep in the heart of Texas Kitchens!
I made this one tonight, and just winged it. It was probably the best Tilapia I've ever had. It was so easy, this one is going to be a regular weekly dish at our house.
Ingredients:
Recipe:
Thaw as directed if frozen. Melt enough better to coat filets in a non-stick pan in oven, when melted dip filets in butter, and then pour lemon juice and spices according to your tastes. Broil in same buttered pan for about 6 minutes, or until done.
These turned out moist and perfectly seasoned. Serve over rice. (I used Rice-a-Roni Chicken & Garlic flavor)
