Mary Sue and Oscar built their new brick ranch home on a quiet cul-de-sac on Picardy Place in the Oak Park subdivision in Raleigh in 1963, and moved in January of 1964.

Mary Sue continued to live in the home until her health declined and she moved to an assisted living facility in early 2012.

Like a "best-dressed" actor a well designed room has a distinctive mood, a sense of comfort and is well thought out and put together.
