The Experience

The home was set outside Silver Street Studios in the Washington Arts Ave District, a cultural district of converted warehouse and silo buildings that houses more than 300 studios of artists and creative entrepreneurs as well as the Houston Art + Antique + Design Show.

In the Monogram Kitchen 

 To remind us all where we were in the lone star state, Chef Jon Liddell added a little Texas flair with his famous Caramelized bacon. Made with the maple syrup, brown sugar and cayenne pepper, he incorporated the sweet taste of the south along with some Alamo heat.
