Through the backdoor, you step onto a cozy, unique porch fit to entertain or relax with family. With a fireplace, heaters, and industrial fans, the space is versatile year-round. Peace signs, an elk’s head, dartboard, and a miniature tie-dye bus are in plain sight. The outdoor ceiling, made from a barn’s reclaimed wood, holds a small disco ball in the center. The style is eccentric without being over-the-top.

Off the back porch, the backyard is a child’s dreamland. A giant playhouse with a rock climbing wall, fireman’s pole, slide, and fort await children of all ages. Placed just in front of the fort are custom Arkansas cornhole boards. A volleyball net and trampoline are just steps away.

A bright blue graffiti wall stands tall in the back corner of the yard. Painted by the homeowner on one side and marked by visitors on the other, the wall brings additional individuality to the yard. The homeowner drew inspiration from signature murals around the country, her favorite quotes, and memories.

The wall also bounds the pickleball court. With the entire family being avid tennis players, the pickleball court felt like a fun, practical addition to the already entertaining backyard.
