TEXAS DESIGN WEEK DALLAS IS A TICKETED EVENT. TO PURCHASE TICKETS, AND FOR COMPLETE SCHEDULE, GO TO TEXASDESIGNWEEK.COM. "A chic home beckons with its beauty, to be sure, but it also welcomes with its warmth, delights with its charisma, and lingers on the mind with its idiosyncratic point of view. As such, chic homes know no geographic or style boundaries: A contemporary New York apartment can be as chic as an Idaho mountain lodge." — Steele Marcoux The Editor: Steele Marcoux Paterfamilias Patrick Frey S teele Marcoux, editor in chief of Veranda, walks the hallowed halls of chic. She was former editor in chief of Coastal Living, executive editor and style director of Country Living, and design editor of Southern Living.

"I believe that nothing is created without memory or without history. It is impossible to wipe out the past if we want to invent beauty. That's why a creative house like ours needs to preserve, conserve, and enrich its artistic heritage." — Patrick Frey ERIC PIASECKI Steven Gambrel turned the original entry hall into an orangery-inspired conservatory, opening to the terrace.
