Nathan and Jaclyn Haley were dead set on finding a mid-century modern in Dallas. They resorted to putting letters in the mailboxes of homes they loved — and sure enough, a couple years later, they heard from the owners of 9210 Royalpine. The Haleys were elated to find out it was a Ju-Nel home, and did their best to update the 1965 residence while staying true to its original design.

The Haleys’ home is one of five on this weekend’s White Rock Home Tour, and you can still buy tickets. Watch a sneak preview video of the home after the jump, which includes a great story about a message left from the longtime original owner, and commentary from Donna Wilson Page, the daughter of Ju-Nel architect and builder Jack Wilson. (And don’t forget to watch the Back Talk blog tomorrow for another sneak preview video):
