Good morning, Dev Test County. In the season of giving, Perry Homes is making a monumental impact with their donation of 400 garage doors worth $400,000 to Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity. The contribution will not only help families save significantly on renovation costs but also generate crucial revenue for affordable housing initiatives. This generous act follows owner Kathy Perry Britton's commitment as honorary chair for Women Build Dallas 2025, adding to the Perry Homes Foundation's impressive $4 million in charitable contributions across Texas and Florida since 2017.
While some build, others struggle to preserve. Park Row's century-old homes, despite landmark status since 1977, are vanishing through demolition and neglect, erasing a neighborhood once home to prominent Jewish merchants and Black leaders. Meanwhile, those seeking to refresh their living spaces can bring Aspen's mountain aesthetic home through Dallas' newest luxury offerings, from Verellen's sustainable furniture to chic decor pieces ranging from accessible $22 swirl plates to a statement-making $6,500 Australian sheepskin bench.

🚪 Perry Homes donates 400 garage doors worth $400,000 to charity. The donation to Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity will help families save on renovation costs while generating revenue for affordable housing initiatives. The garage doors will be sold at approximately 70% off retail through DAHH's ReStore in West Dallas. This contribution follows Perry Homes Owner Kathy Perry Britton's role as honorary chair for DAHH's Women Build Dallas 2025. Since 2017, the Perry Homes Foundation has contributed more than $4 million to charitable causes across Texas and Florida.
🏠 Dallas historic district crumbles as preservation efforts fail. The century-old homes along Park Row, part of a landmark district since 1977, are disappearing through demolition, fire, and neglect. Homeowner Jeanette Bolden, who meticulously maintains her 1922 house, questions "what does it even mean to be a landmark district anymore?" as new construction ignores historical guidelines. Despite City Hall's mandate to preserve the area's historical character, enforcement is inconsistent, with many properties deteriorating beyond repair. The district, once home to Jewish merchants and later prominent Black leaders, is losing its heritage one building at a time.
🏔️ Bring Aspen's mountain vibe to your Dallas home this summer. D Magazine showcases furniture and decor pieces that capture the neutral, natural aesthetic of Colorado's mountain air. Verellen, a Belgian-rooted furniture maker, recently opened its third U.S. showroom in Dallas, featuring sustainable, hand-crafted pieces. The article highlights various luxury items including a "Vaquero" chair, antler flatware, and an Australian sheepskin bench—all designed to create that refreshing Aspen feel without leaving Texas. Prices range from accessible $22 swirl plates to a $6,500 bench.
