Fuller House is the site of VIP party

Remember the A. Quincy Jones house that was in danger of being demolished? Later I updated the story to let you know that it the price had been lowered, increasing the chances that it might be saved. Finally, I was able to report that the house had been purchased by an undisclosed buyer and was slated for renovation.

I'm extremely pleased to let you know that the 14-month renovation is complete, and the home was the site last weekend of a VIP party at the end of the Fort Worth Kitchen Tour, which included the Fuller House, now owned by Mike Jones.

I recently received a comment on one of my posts about the house from the architectural consultant on the project:

...I am glad to say that the house has not only been saved but has been brought back to life once again. I have learned a great deal about this home during the restoration. We are currently giving tours of the house so our community can see this great mid century modern before it goes back into private hands.

Here are a couple of photos of the renovated kitchen. I'm sure it will make all of you very happy to see the happy ending to this story.

    1. Yesterday I identified the person who posted the comment. I'd love to have him do a guest post, telling us all about the renovation and showing us more photos.

    1. Thanks, Tove! I had fun looking through all those old photos and finding some that were Frocktober-worthy. What a fun month of posts Kylie has given us...and all that money she's raised too!

    1. It came so close to being torn down. The same family who previously owned this house let two other historic homes be demolished.
