There is a particular moment that happens in a lot of historic houses. The sofa comes through the front door without trouble, gets halfway up the staircase, meets a turn that was built when furniture was smaller, and stops. Everyone stands there recalculating. Neighborhoods like Ghent, Freemason, Colonial Place, and Larchmont in Norfolk are full […]

Fall in North Texas is short.
