This week Museum Tower offered sneak peaks at the three new model units that are, of course, setting high new standards in Dallas architectutal aesthetics. Emily Summers, of Emily Summers Design Associates, Ann Schooler, Schooler, Kellogg & Company, and Marco French, of Marco French Studio all created three beautiful homes, ranging in size from 2,100 square feet to 3,700 square feet. Each reflected the vision of its respective designer and clearly shows buyers how you can incorporate contemporary, transitional and traditional treatments into the gleaming glass tower. In other words, don’t think just because you are moving into Museum Tower like I am, that you only have to have the spartan look of sterile haute moderne in your home. Oh no, way no.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and New York Senator Chuck Schumer will be in Dallas tomorrow at a $30,800 a-plate event for majority trust — or just $10,000 for the “chair” — Democratic fundraiser at the beautiful $4.2 million home of Russell and Dori Budd at 3707 Crescent at 1 p.m. That is very close to Doris Jacobs’ gorgeous listing at 3507 Crescent, listed for $6,995,000. Crescent is a very short street so while you’ve got them jam-packed in there, Doris, might be a good time to hold an open house or sip and see… you think?
