On Wednesday, I profiled designers Catherine Olasky and Max Sinsteden of Olasky & Sinsteden, and because I simply cannot get enough of their exquisite work, today I’m following up with a home tour… This 1927 Houston home was built by one of Houston’s most celebrated architects, John F. Staub, and it is where he lived until his death. Today, the home is owned by Staub’s grandson, Peter Wareing, and his family. To redecorate the home yet maintain its original integrity, the Wareings called upon Max and Catherine, as they are known for their classic, old school approach to design. Let’s take a look inside!

Such a timeless and elegant home, steeped in tradition, which will hopefully remain in the family for years to come. For additional information, please visit Olasky & Sinsteden and my profile of their work here. You may also tour this home as featured in Southern Living.

Old school charm. It has warmth. It has colour. It feels like home. How refreshing and what a welcome change from recent trends.
The climate control vent over the doorway is unique. And I love the linens. Can you tell us about the pillowcases and towels, o learned linen one? 🙂
Porthault pillowcases or you can find just as exquisite and delicate in the same shades.
Oh, Andrea, what a lovely home! So unpretentious and such quality of execution in the details.
River Oaks is my favorite section of Houston- and I was most privileged to assist the late Parish-Hadley decorator, my friend,
Tice Alexander (Tice Alexander, Inc.) with the installation of the home of Pat and Dan Breen there back in the 1980’s…
Olasky and Sinsteden are certainly carrying on the long tradition of beautiful residential interiors which are forever timeless and classic.
Lovely. 🙂
