(Seguin) — The home of Todd and Bree Vickers is located in the subdivision of Oak Creek. Oak Creek is a gated community tucked in the corner where Elmwood Drive meets Eastwood Drive. The Vickers’ home was built by Mark Wheelington of Wheelington Construction. Construction began in May of 2020 and was completed in January 2021. Construction took place entirely during the pandemic. Despite the challenges of the COVID shutdowns, the family was lucky that the construction process was very smooth with very few delays.
This Modern Tudor style home has four bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 2 half-bathrooms. The interior of the home is very colorful. Unique accent colors and prints can be found in every room. Even the backyard is as colorful as the inside of the home. Many pieces of artwork hanging throughout the house are original pieces painted by the homeowner.
One of the downstairs bedrooms is occupied by the family’s son. This room has all of his trophy deer mounts on display. Each deer has a special story and fond memories of a favorite tradition for him. Upstairs is the domain of the Vickers’ twin daughters. Their room décor is a direct reflection of their personalities. One of the twin’s rooms is very calm with a muted color palette, while the other twin has a bolder design with colors and patterns. These rooms are connected by a shared bathroom.
The large living space upstairs is perfect for the entire family to enjoy. They can watch movies or play ping pong, and they spend quite a bit of time in that part of the house. The half bath in this area has an antique mirror that was originally used in downtown Seguin in Lone Star Barber Shop. Bree’s grandfather, EJ Seidenberger, was a barber there for many years. When he retired, he took the mirror, and it has remained with the family. Bree decided to use it in this bathroom but not before painting it a vibrant pink color, of course!
