Art Rousseau ... 2 Houses in 1 in North Dallas

This week’s sale by Art Rousseau offers an unusual mix of very interesting things.  The sale is the two homes of the Estate (one in Dallas and one in Pebble Beach, California) blended into the Dallas property and truly utilizing every bit of space available, even putting sofas, chairs and large decorator-inspired display/china cabinet in the garage.

Just looking at the contents immediately tells you the family was unique, selective in their purchases, loved art and enjoyed their things.  He was a successful businessman and a former PGA golfer who toured for a few years. . .she had once been a professional skater who toured with companies like Ice Capades (now that has to bring back memories for some of you).  Their home in Dallas reflects their style and uniqueness with a collection that includes:
