TEXARKANA MAGAZINE
W hen Amberly and Shawn Stussy began their remodel in 2018, their vision was clear. They wanted to create a home where their family could gather, celebrate, and make memories for years to come. Tucked away on Jack Cullen Drive, with one of Texarkana’s most breathtaking backyard views, their home captures the essence of warmth, comfort, and character, especially during the holiday season. Inspired by their travels to the Texas Hill Country, the resort-style pool invites relaxation. At the same time, exposed brick walls pay homage to Louisiana roots, adding texture and timeless charm throughout the home. At its heart is the open kitchen, a true gathering place for family meals and conversation. With upgraded appliances and generous counter space, it becomes the space where laughter mingles with the scent of something delicious. Touches of personality fill every corner, from the sparkling chandeliers that Amberly affectionately calls “house jewelry” to the dedicated workout and movie rooms and a dream closet that feels like a retreat of its own. Each Christmas, the Stussy home becomes even more special. Their tree glitters with ornaments collected from every adventure, whether a weekend in Hot Springs or a journey across the globe. Each ornament represents a keepsake of memories made together. Their best advice for anyone considering a remodel is simple. Do not just follow trends. Design for the way you live, and remember that the project will take twice as long as projected and cost twice as much. However, it is always worth it.
