    closet (and home) for sale

    Houston socialite's famous 3-story closet, and massive home, back on the market for $7 million

    Holly Beretto
    May 23, 2018 | 9:30 am

    Houston women — and indeed, the country — have gone wild over the closet that is nestled on 47 Grand Regency Cir. in The Woodlands — a three-level affair, complete with a bar in the sitting area and space for hundreds of designer shoes and a Birkin bag collection. Oh, and it even boasts a spiral staircase.

    It is a closet of such opulence, rapper Gucci Maine shot his video for “Nonchalant” in the massive estate. The home received more national attention when burglars made off with nearly $1 million dollars worth of expensive goods.

    Now, however, socialite Theresa Roemer (who calls the closet her “she-cave”) and her oil executive husband, Lamar, have their Carlton Woods manse on the market. The 17,315-foot home is a stunning declaration of elegance, with a sweeping front lawn, resort-style views, and over-the-top details.

    “It’s a gorgeous open floor plan,” gushes Claudia Fathivand, a real estate agent with Nan & Company Properties/Christie's International Real Estate, which is handling the sale. “It’s very modern. I really see this as a family house. I really see it as a house with a closet and not a closet with a house.”

    Sprawling across two great, green acres overlooking the Nicklaus Course and the Bear Branch Reserve, the home boasts seven bedrooms (with two other rooms that can pull bedroom duty), 10 full and three half baths, a second-floor media room, a ground-level wine room with storage for 250 bottles — and seating to sit and sip them — and an elevator. The massive kitchen with updated appliances is a gathering space, while the butler’s pantry and catering kitchen provide space for party staff to work. “It’s just made for entertaining,” says Fathivand.

    Listed at $7,000,000 and completely remodeled in 2013, adopting clean lines and bright neutral tones, 47 Grand Regency Cir. is a home that screams to be noticed. (This is not the first time the home has hit the market.)

    Its rooms meander seamlessly into each other, beginning in the three-story foyer with its $60,000 custom Egyptian crystal chandelier, and brilliantly lit with 25-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows. The master retreat includes a huge seating area and views of the wooded reserve, an indulgent master bath with white tile and a soaking tub — and that closet.

    Outside, a lap pool augments the indoor gym to keep you fit, and the multi-level veranda provides lounging space, a fire pit, and a glorious outdoor kitchen.

    “There’s such a positive energy to this home,” says Fathivand. “When you step inside, you see that sweeping staircase, you’re surrounded by light and those panoramic views — this is a special place. I can really see a family that loves to entertain or a couple with an extended family loving this space. “

    And of course, that closet.

    The massive, three-story closet houses clothes and purse collections.

    DIY paradise VEVOR opens first global flagship store in Houston

    Houstonians love a good project. From backyard makeovers to “weekend warrior” style mini-renos, local hardware stores are perpetually filled with bright-eyed do-it-yourselfers looking to get their hands a little dirty. Not exactly sure where to begin? Enter VEVOR. The popular online hub for tools and equipment has opened its first-ever global flagship store right here in Houston.

    Known for tools, appliances, and nearly anything one could imagine, VEVOR promises professional-level performance without professional-level prices. The brick-and-mortar marketplace will offer workshops, seasonal events, skill-building programs, and weekend demonstrations to help even the most sheepish DIY enthusiasts get their projects off the ground.

    Founded in 2007 as an eBay seller, VEVOR began selling on Amazon in 2013 and launched vevor.com in 2020. The brand unveiled its refreshed identity in 2025. Today, VEVOR operates in over 50 countries, with a network of more than 200 global warehouses and a catalog of over 15,000 products spanning tools, outdoor equipment, and home improvement solutions. Customers can order items on the VEVOR website and have them shipped to the store.

    The nearly 32,000-square-foot store is situated on the outskirts of the Beltway, between Cypress and Jersey Village. VEVOR took over the former Big Lots space in Jones Plaza (10951 FM 1960 Rd W) and is set up in a similar fashion. To say that there is a little of everything is a gross understatement.

    Tools range from 12-volt drills to jackhammers. Commercial-grade kitchen equipment sells alongside stainless cabinet and drawer inserts for outdoor kitchens. Find large appliances, pizza ovens, hotdog rollers, vent hoods — and don’t miss the margarita and slushy machines. The store event has a pet department that offers grooming tables, litter box cabinets, and other accoutrements.

    A variety of vinyl press machines line the shelves, and even hat blanks can be purchased ten to a box. Traveling makeup artists can find rolling trunks with built-in tables. There are lots of tools available for what VEVOR refers to as the “home creator.”

    “I believe once our shoppers come through the front door, they’ll find something they need to buy,” general manager Jalal Aburas tells CultureMap. “We have every type of tool. They will not leave here empty-handed — I assure you.”

    VEVOR truly caters to everyone. Whether it be a chef, builder, gardener, craftsman, artist, furniture refinisher, or mechanic, they have the tools. The quality and diversity of their tool range has even garnered praise and endorsement by ChrisFix, the world’s premier automotive YouTuber. Hundreds of his over 11 million subscribers showed up to the store’s grand opening for a meet-and-greet and to watch as he helped cut the ribbon.

    "As someone who has been helping the DIY automotive community for years, I'm excited to see VEVOR open this store, bringing pro-level gear and high-performance tools within reach for every car enthusiast ready to take their garage to the next level," ChrisFix said in a statement.

    In the US, the annual market share for home improvement stores is $5.5 billion. So, why choose Houston for the company’s first store?

    “Houstonians are builders, they’re DIY enthusiasts,” explains Aburas. “They could be professional gardeners, they could be contractors — Houstonians work day and night, right? So that’s the number one reason our vision was on the Texas market, and particularly in Houston.”

    Aburas explains that the “secret sauce” to their high quality products being available at easily-accessible prices is that VEVOR owns its supply chains. Without a middle man, its tools and products are 30-40 percent less expensive than its big name competitors, while quality can a lot of times exceed that of more commonly known names.

    “We cater to every class of clientele that we offer to, and there is no competition that will offer all we carry,” explains Aburas. “Our actual brand is going to be a hit from the brick-and-mortar perspective, because we own our own supply chains — we have nothing to worry about.”
