TEXARKANA MAGAZINE
From the moment you step inside, the home sets the tone for refined luxury. Guests are greeted by a genuine Italian Ormolu and Lapis Lazuli table once owned by a Houston oil titan. Decorative window cornices, custom-made and personally installed by North Carolina-based R. Rogers Designs, frame the fairway views. The Giles’ holdings which include 17th-century Asian bronzes and pottery, Old Master oil paintings, and original contemporary works, turn each space into a curated gallery. In the master closet, a Baccarat crystal chandelier crowns the room. The kitchen saw the most dramatic transformation, opening up the once-narrow footprint to create an airy gathering space anchored by a large island. Contrasting cabinetry tones are tied together by the prominent veining in the hand-selected marble countertops and backsplash by Chris Williams of Midway Marble & Granite. In the owners’ suite, Barrett added a groined-vault ceiling finished in gold for architectural drama, and expanded an adjacent bedroom into a glamorous dressing room and closet with meticulously designed storage. The master bath became a sanctuary, with an imported Italian marble credenza transformed into a dual- sink basin, and a handcrafted copper and brass tub commissioned from famed artisans.
Arched passageways preserve the home’s architectural character.
