TEXARKANA MAGAZINE
the space to be enclosed for warmth or opened wide to take in woodland views, where deer often wander past. Just beyond, a custom fire pit anchors the outdoor gathering space. Art tells the family’s story. A dramatic triptych, each canvas six feet tall, spans the living room wall, hand-stretched and painted by the owner in a stained-glass-inspired interpretation of a local sunset. Additional works by their daughter reinterpret historic black-and-white local photographs in bold, posterized color, blending nostalgia with modern-pop sensibility. Subtle alligator motifs appear throughout the home, from wallpaper to tile and even playful green figures floating in the copper soaking tub, offering a wink to the lake. Layered with meaningful pieces, including century-old Lodge cast iron andirons gifted by local artist Dean Lynn, artwork by local talents such as Cindy Holmes and Lucky Wormington, and a polished cypress knee treasured for generations, this Grassy Lake cabin is more than a hunting escape. It is a deeply personal gathering place where craftsmanship, family history, and the beauty of the outdoors meet in elevated comfort.
