Our Favorite OMG Additions

basement-wine-cellar-model-train-room

“An 1,800-square-foot model train room that is on the level— if not higher—than what they do at NorthPark over the holidays. It is being donated to the Frisco Railroad Museum.” – Michael Munir, Sharif & Munir Custom Homes


More Moments We Love!
