YOU’VE SEEN HER AROUND TOWN
You can’t miss her, with those outfits exploding with color on her very diminutive frame. And always a hat to match or add to the effect. A rainbow palette in motion.
She loves her hats, since junior high school. “I never leave the house without a hat.” How many? “I think I had more than 200, but I recently donated about 100 of them to a thrift store.”
Or you may have noticed her front yard, a raucous yet genteel fairyland tableau of tiny structures and statues of critters and the occasional mythical humans. “During holidays I have the best yard displays in town,” she claims.
This Midcentury Gem in Dallas Reflects the Homeowners’ Cool, Casual Sensibilities
Designer Meredith McBrearty and architect Ryan Street reprise the suburban swagger of the American 20th century and its mastery of the wondrous, wide-open lawn. Feb 18, 2021 Douglas Friedman
The Dallas neighborhood of Greenway Parks is a century-old, leafy enclave that’s barely a five-minute drive from downtown but feels like a world away. It’s a place where families tend to put down roots, so when Katie and Kyle Oudt began to feel like they’d outgrown their traditionally styled 1940s house, they didn’t stray far. For several years they’d lived on a lot abutting one of the shared green spaces that helps give the community its distinctive character, and when the opportunity arose to buy two adjacent parcels just a few streets away, they jumped. Though not next to one of the parks, the site did have the benefit of being right across the street from Kyle’s parents.
