1st Mulkified House, Houston, circa 1973

Forest Oaks Boulevard

 Here is Chaplain Mulkey with his dog, Shag,

relaxing in the media room.

 Our first selfie...we were so proud of that wallpaper!  

(Mother and Daddy helped us install it.)

I believe this photo was taken prior to Rob noticing the

scratch marks on the toilet seat, purchasing a brand new shiny one,

and in mid-installation cracking the commode down the middle.

WHOOOOOSH!

(Lesson:  If the bolt is rusty, don't force it!)

 "And this is Mr. Hoo, one of my favorite owls

from my Owl Period."

 Sarah waits patiently in the 

corner of the master bedroom for her turn.

(Note gold swag lamp with matching harvest gold shag carpet.)

 The Den:
Here Sarah sits on the harvest gold floral sofa-bed
admiring the harvest gold tweed recliner,
sitting atop the avocado green shag carpet.
(We were serious about our color coordination back then!)

The Living Room 
Sarah sits atop the avocado green sofa which sits

atop the harvest gold carpet with matching

harvest gold pole lamp.

Sarah is almost giddy over those prissy white tie-backs.

She and Rob "antiqued" the headboard, and

she actually painted the perfectly placed

pallette-knife paintings.
"Be our guest...be our guest!"

 The house is back there somewhere.

(We were living on Forest Oaks, for goodness sakes!)

  Yet another photo of the master bedroom.

Note the faux table with cloth and 

the conveniently-located telephone and travel clock.

(Chaplain Mulkey received many a mid-night call.)

And what would a Mulkey-house be without a piano!
