Mary Kay’s Dallas Mansion!
Mary Kay's Dallas Mansion!
Pink Cadillacs, perfectly coiffed blond curls, dressed to the teeth . . Haven't you always wondered what her home was like? Imagine no longer! Here it is in all its pink splendor. It's for sale and if you've sold enough Mary Kay cosmetics, maybe it could now belong to you! Even in a recession women buy lipstick. So stop sitting on your hands gals and see what the beauty industry can do for you! Mary Kay Ash was an inspiration to women the world over, proving that one can take $5,000, a good idea, and with the drive of a locomotive, turn it into a multi-billion dollar business.
With a pool area copied from Hearst's San Simeon and gardens of terraces and fountains, from the outside of this landmark Dallas estate, we have already had an introduction to what majesty awaits us inside. Time to don your spring-loaded jogging shoes for a tour of this 12,115sf manse with its marble and teak floors, 40' ceilings, soaring stairs and massive rooms. There are amazing carved wood moldings, beveled glass windows that seem to reach the sky and numerous wall murals, so you won't be surprised at the pink quartz fixtures!
Of course it's in Dallas where showmanship is an art form and Mary Kay wasn't about to disappoint. Take any mansion then multiply the size by 5 and you'll more readily comprehend what we mean by huge. The kitchen is large enough to house a couple of catering businesses and her bath-dressing room is as large as many small homes, as are most rooms. Large enough to host huge charity events or political rallies, it's not surprising that Mary Kay moved back into a smaller home towards the end of her life, saying that this one was too big.
Once owned by cosmetics queen. Priced at $3.3m.
