Moving Day

It was a long day of moving, sweating and painting with Megan and her family as they begin another chapter in life, together. Megan lived with her mom, Elaine, Nichole (sister) and Richard Chamberlain for over a year before her grandparents moved into a new home with Elaine (another tiring weekend however fun). The town-home sits among a cluster of similar structures on a random and lonely back street off Mainland Road. It's a narrow, intimate space that - thanks to a northern wall of windows - floods with ambient light that will (hopefully) lessen the electric bill. The backyard deck hangs over a long yard full of oak trees, with a lone cedar as a foreigner to the native oak forest in south Texas before cedar were brought from Eurasia and planted in 1900, sapping water from the natural ecosystem. My favorite element of the house is a small triangular window near the ceiling, a cut-out showing the trees, sky and stars, like a picture frame.
