Gorgeous homes and good causes await at the semi-annual American Association of University Women Home Tour this Sunday in Austin.
The tour runs from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25. Tickets are $15 per person and are available at the Coffee House on Main, Hy-Vee, Hardy Geranium, or from AAUW members.
The Bross Home
Suzie and Rick Bross’s home features warm colors, beautiful gardens and wondrous artwork from pottery to paintings and even artwork from China.
The Schindler Home
Dick and Belita Schindler’s home gives off a welcoming atmosphere through calm, soft color tones and a woodsy setting. It doesn’t hurt that Belita, recently retired, was the premier interior decorator in Austin for a number of years.
The Perry Home
Scott and Kaye Perry’s home is a classic, built in 1916. The Perrys have made the most of their home by adding three rooms and a storage room as well as creating lead glass windows and glass pieces for several rooms, doors and cabinets. In addition, there are many antiques on display.
The Ransom Home
Dan and Treasure Ransom’s four-bedroom rambler is a brand new home, built last year by Hanson Construction. The home features an interconnected surround sound system for many rooms as well as the backyard patio along with oak woodwork and a media room filled with sports memorabilia.
