Renovations Elevate a Nichols Hills Home
“Our daughter and grandkids live on the same street; so does my sister,” Sue Hanna explained. There was some work to do: While Hanna said the property warranted “a complete makeover,” her husband jokingly called it “a prison” thanks to its brick-walled perimeter. However, the Hannas appreciated the home’s mid-century modern bones. They also liked how the majority of the living space was downstairs and a smaller lot meant less maintenance. To make the most of it, they enlisted contractor Mike Gilles of Savannah Builders; interior designers at Sees Design; and architect Bruce Bockus of Bockus Payne.

Luckily, there are more than enough cool treats to go around, from fizzy cocktails and chilled noodles to playful popsicles and iced lattes. Roberto Godinez knows a thing or two about beating the heat. Growing up in Aguascalientes, Mexico, he made popsicles with his family — a tradition he brought with him to Oklahoma City, where Tizo’s Pops & Ice Cream became the first Mexican popsicle and ice cream shop in the state. Today, the sunny southside shop keeps Godinez’s family tradition alive, featuring 80 flavors of scratch-made popsicles in fun and fruity flavors like avocado, blackberry-cheese, rice pudding, coconut, mango with condensed milk and pine nut. There are also non-dairy popsicles, like cantaloupe and michelada, and more than 20 flavors of ice cream.
