In November, this expert Seattle interior designer spent nearly one week in Omaha with her mother who lives in an assisted living facility. We took many drives which included homes that I lived in during the 1970’s, the 1980’s and my last one prior to moving to the Northwest.

The first photo below features home # 1, an English Tudor. I marveled at the pin oak tree, which replaced a diseased elm, and was planted to celebrate the birth of my daughter 31 years ago.

Our family moved from Omaha and returned in 1986. We found this wonderful English Tudor in another great neighborhood. Each bathroom contained beautifully colored fixtures and tile as was typical. Nothing was garish and the entire home showed thoughtful attention by its owners.

After a divorce and in search of a home with space for a home office, I found this charming home nearby. Wish I still had the images of the updates throughout the inside and outside. You will just need to imagine.

I hope you enjoy this nostalgia post of my Omaha homes. My mother and I shared lots of conversation and memories about them.
