I absolutely love a stucco house, honey. As a half Cuban girl who was born and raised in California, colorful stucco, mountains, ocean, and palm trees are simply a part of my very lifeforce. When our family transplanted to my now-beloved Texas, I was shocked by the lack of valleys and beaches, and in the neighborhoods, oh lord, the amount of brick I was visually accosted with!
At 10 years old, I hadn’t yet realized that the rest of the world was full of variety. That one wouldn’t necessarily find every house snugly nestled up to an orange grove as my childhood home had been. And not every auntie could be found in a chic, 1970’s stucco two-story overlooking a luscious green valley, accompanied by a side yard with a benevolent lemon tree, nor every grandmother in a cozy cottage surrounded by welcoming gardens.
Though I was enjoying our very first family road trip, the closer we got to our new home, the further away I felt from the comfort of familiar scenery.
I eyed the landscape warily, “Uhm..where are the mountains? And the ocean? …is this our house?! This isn’t our house.”.
Approaching our new city, our new neighborhood, my parents were peppered with questions, the reality of Texas living hitting me like a ton of…. well, bricks. Yes, I’ve always been on the dramatic side. You’re welcome!
Our parents did what they could to help us adjust to our new lives and, eventually, I grew to love the sweet South and the variety to be found here. It turns out Texas offers far more than brick and there are hills and valleys, they’re just fun-sized.

Though I adjusted to Texas living, my love for the kind of seaside and desert aesthetics of California remained – nay, expanded! I started to feel a kinship with cultures that celebrated beautiful masonry of all types, neutral and colorful alike. Southwest, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Spanish… it was all so dreamy, so full of artistry and careful craftsmanship.
Luckily, it is completely possible to enjoy these looks in Texas, and many do. If you’re like me and looking to transform your brick, stucco, and stone in the fashions I’ve so elegantly described, then please enjoy these inspirational pictures and a little education on how we can help you achieve these beautiful looks.
