A Peek into the Rooms of Luxury Homes - 12/31/07 09:35 AM
What kinds of rooms might go into various luxury homes? The possibilities are as varied as lifestyles.
I recall a luxurious mansion in Houston’s lovely River Oaks that had, in addition to every other conceivable room, a luggage room. It was a sensible space that accommodated the traveling owner’s large collection of leather suitcases, trunks and garment bags.
