Gus, it’s 5:00 pm Thursday we’re plotzing…WHERE IS THIS PLACE? My office mate and cyberfriends want to know!

Post #45, sentence #1 (thanks, Schwaghag) should win something. Maybe the the most pithy, concise on-point summary ever! Brilliant!

ROTFLMAO with Dr. Pepper out the nose!

Where are the ragdoll bunnies? Shouldn’t they be on the bed? Spring Branch.

Wrong about the scale, movocelot. It’s because they’re going to sell this frou-frou by the pound.

I’m not really sure WHY twin sisters would want to recreate their mother’s depressed Arsenic & Old Lace Victorian childhood…maybe that tent thing outside the stair-step bedroom is for the funeral rites of their last gentleman caller.

I’m thinking this is in Tanglewood, or maybe that area below the old Rosewood Hospital. The sisters bought it new & persuaded each other to update the kitchen after their lottery win.

Let’s be a little kinder…maybe she told one of her 9 children or 17 grands that she liked lace & fringes and has been inundated with the stuff for 45 years now. Course it all has to be on display when the giver stops by. Or maybe she won a shopping spree from Michaels? Requiescat in pace, Regina (or Reginae?) Fringorum!

Whore-rendous!!!!! Was someone smitten with her silk floral arranger or what? I don’t think a man has been in that house EVER. Even the art above the bed is a woman. Now I am curious about those bedsteps in the master. How tiny could this gal be? It isn’t a tall bed and she doesn’t seem the type to have a little dog or cat around get into all of her frilliness. Lord, if anyone ever deserved a prize for guessing, this would be the house. I loved the answer about being near Traders Village/Old Town Spring but I’ll say somewhere west of Oak Forest in the
Antoine/Pinemont area.

It looks like Tammy Faye Baker’s face exploded inside this house. It’s between Westheimer, Briar Forest, Dairy Ashford and Kirkwood. The woman “of a certain age” who lives there now has some money left over from her one-of-a-kind art shopping spree at the Hart Galleries closeout auction. And now that Jerry and Wynonne are behind bars, I think she probably paid too much.

This is the third time I’ve looked at this week’s game! I’m dazzled and distracted and can’t make heads or tails, like when I go to the mall and, after 5 minutes, can’t remember what I’m there for, what my name is, or, where I parked the car.
70’s construction with doo-dads from many different years… & kitchen C-top and back-splash updated in 90’s.
Notice the scale in the kitchen, under one of the many etages; This homeowner may have controlled weight by shopping instead of over-eating.
I’m kinda depressed now.

This house is in Bellaire - I can smell the spice scented candles from here.

I going to guess it’s one of the “nicer” homes in Garden Villas near Hobby Airport. Hubby died years ago — just a few months after he retired from the Chevy dealership. He made a good living back in the day and allowed her to spend as she pleased. His hefty life insurance policy let her retain her spending habits somewhat. Now it’s time for assisted living and she has to choose which arrangements and which lamps she can take with her. She imagines her kids will fight over the rest.

One more thing: if the owner had shopped at Hobby Lobby instead of Michael’s, the former might still be in business. COUNT the artificial flower arrangements. I see 17 on a fast scroll-through. Jeebus.
