It has been decorated with many antique and vintage items collected from the families associated with Pecan Properties. Many of the items came from our own grandmothers’ homes. We hope that everyone staying here recognizes something they remember from their own past whether it be from their childhood at their grandparents’ home or other friend or family’s residence. The goal was to create a unique space with a sense of nostalgia. We hope that every decade from the 20th century is represented here but with the ultimate result of a home that is inviting and comfortable.
