Stone Manor in Houston

The wall street journal has this Houston mansion as their house of the day.

Price: $7,995,000
Location: Houston, TX
Type of Home: Detached Home

This limestone-faced home in Texas is inspired by the architecture of French châteaus and features a warm, traditional design. Built in 1965, the nearly 8,200-square-foot limestone-block home is based on an existing château in France, said Darrell Schmitt, the interior designer. The owners maintained the home's layout, but asked Mr. Schmitt to liven up the interior. Cool colors 'in reaction to the hot Houston climate' and French wallpaper were used to give the space an 'updated traditional' feel.

COOL FAN!

You never know what you'll find on an inspection. This one made my day. It's a ceiling fan in the shape of a WWII fighter plane. Does any one know where to buy these from?
