Daniel and Tuyet Nguyen decided to move to a bigger home in the Bay Oaks neighborhood in...
When Tuyet Nguyen participates in Zoom calls for work, someone always compliments the bold abstract wallpaper that decorates her home office. At breakfast and dinner, she and her husband, Daniel, share meals at a Saarinen Tulip dining table with very modern wood chairs in the breakfast nook.
In their old home, in a neighborhood across the street from Bay Oaks, the Nguyens had collected antiques and traditional Ethan Allen furniture that they used for many years. The style was darker, so the Nguyens were ready for a fresh start. Tuyet enjoys watching home design and remodeling shows on TV, and while they inspired her to want more, they also informed her that she really couldn't do it herself.
"White? Who owns a white car? If you buy a white car, you just gave up at the dealership. To me, white just doesn’t do anything," Daniel said, hoping for a laugh."In our old home, every room had a color, and I thought that made sense. Truth be told, when we looked at different shades of white, I said, 'No one will pay attention to this.' Now I know there’s a white for the wall and a white for the trim and another white for the ceiling.
The Nguyens brought the dining room furniture from their prior home, though they reupholstered the chairs and brought in a new rug and light fixture. But much of the home's furniture is new. The only other furnishings they brought with them were a bed for the guest bedroom, a night stand, grandfather clock and a couple of end tables for the living room.
