By Joanna England / July 18, 2013 /

For a long time, the lot just across from Redeemer Bible Church and caddy corner to Robert T. Hill Middle School at Easton and East Lake Highlands was a cut-through for drivers too impatient to wait behind cars stopped for pickups at the end of the school day.

With seven bathrooms and four bedrooms, I am sure it served the cast of the show starring martial arts legend Chuck Norris well.

By Joanna England / July 15, 2013 /

Somedays we here at CandysDirt.com just have to pinch ourselves because we can’t believe how lucky we are to know some of the most talented builders in North Texas. One builder who continually pushes the envelope is Bauhaus Custom Homes. The pioneering company headed by Marc Kleinman recently put together an amazing service for their clients — a design library that features the best of their work to take the anxiety and stress of building the perfect home off of their shoulders.

The Bauhaus Design Library gives clients two options — shopping Bauhaus’ portfolio of designs to mix and match a home that works for them, or a fully custom home designed by a cadre of experienced architects, managers, and contractors.
