My first thoughts this morning are with those in Southern California. The fires are absolutely heartbreaking to watch, so many beautiful homes and businesses destroyed. I loved the Pacific Palisades area, and included a few photos from my last visit here as well as surrounding L.A. homes.  Praying for peace that surpasses all understanding, and also linked a few ways to help. Meanwhile in Dallas, we are on day two of a snow. I am happily taking the social break to gear up for a new season of home tours. So, while I am huddled-up and hunkered down, I thought I would offer a bit of a pretty distraction. A few pictures, a round-up of home tour videos, and a few links.

Save the date! A new season of Beyond the Curb launches Sunday, January 26th. 

Ways to help in L.A.:

All the homes above are from a quick walk around the Pacific Palisades two summers ago. If any of these homes are gone, my hope is they could serve as a memory. I take pictures of homes all the time, and realize many do not. 

The homes below are from surrounding L.A. neighborhoods
