[ | The Houston Home f Journal I WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28,1989-SECTION-C All-wood home has their own... 'Personal Flair' for Judy and Jerry Hall By MELODY BACAS Staff Writer Judy and Jerry Hall's house is not like every other house because it has the Halls personal flair. The two-story home in Lea Glen is a contemporary design, made to tally out of wood. The Halls ordered the plans through a house plan ser vice in Oregon, then changed them some to include the "dream bath room." "In the original plans, the bathroom wasn't that large," Mrs. Hall said, referring to their black and gray bathroom complete with whirlpool bath, and sauna. "Jerry enlarged it to put in the sauna. That also added space to the bed room," she said. Mrs. Hall said she chose black and gray because she thought it would look great with the California Redwood in the bathroom. "Drama is why I chose it. I thought it would look dramatic," she said. There arc several unique features of the house. Lots of big windows for one. Then there arc four decks around the house, with three open and one screened in porch outside the master bedroom. Another interesting feature is the courtyard outside the large wooden front door. An iron gate opens to the courtyard from the outside. In the yard, there is a tree and birds made of sheet metal decorate an outside house wall. "A friend of ours from Mercer University made those," Mrs. Hall said. "We did have them at our cabin on the lake.” ■■ Mj ■■■■i ■■■ ■■ WM Wm t - .'■ i %s*¥'?* &£&p > ?■ ■ 9.. 38rjp* .. ,.
