Students Do 'Showhouse' Design Senior design students at Sam Houston State University have completed their third Conroe Designer Showhouse project. This year's showhouse was built by Jim Winkler, and is located on Lake Conroe at 16043 Walden Road. The home is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays from Feb. 10-25. The Sam Houston students, under the direction of Laura Burleson, designed the morning room, kitchen, and utility room in the 6,500 square foot showhouse. A circular window design by Cheryl Thomas carries this contemporary idea into the kitchen.
