Perfection . . . Lee Cullum is one of the most talented and respected journalists around. I've always been in awe of her interviewing skills and her ability to elicit fascinating stories from her subjects—Now I'm in awe of her Turtle Creek townhouse (SmithArc in Dallas recently renovated it). I'm only showing enough photos here to get to you excited enough to read my full story in this month's issue of Modern Luxury Dallas. You can read it online here (turn to page 54). Steve Wrubel shot all of the perfectly composed photos for the story. Thank you, Steve, for letting me post a few here...

The need for an elevator prompted Cullum to begin renovating her townhouse, a process that went room by room over many years. In order to put in an elevator, the entry had to be expanded and opened up...

Adding an elevator shaft provided a lot more wall space to hang Cullum's striking collection of art. Also, take a look at the glass ceiling. It's also the second floor walkway—Cullum told me that when she first stepped out of the elevator onto that glass floor she gasped and called the architect, telling him she didn't think she could ever get used to it. He persuaded her to live with it for a couple of weeks. Now she loves it...

Cullum's second favorite color is green, so she had SmithArc paint the inside of the elevator this high gloss hue. She loved it so much, she painted her laundry room the same color. Can you guess which color is her very favorite? It's a color that Jason Smith says he noticed that Cullum wears a lot (read the story to find out!).
