ensure they have everything they need to be comfortable.” Jeff’s oldest son, Garner, is currently working in Texarkana and living in the boys’ room until he starts school this month. Christy even joked that she sometimes feels like she has not seen him in a week or two but loves that he feels comfortable coming and going according to his schedule. Downstairs, the Youngs made several changes to open up the floorplan and enhance the home’s flow. They turned an office space into a large, beautiful dining space, so they would have plenty of space to gather as a family or with friends. They reworked the mudroom, pantry, and butler’s pantry into a more functional space with plenty of room to easily access the dining room. It is definitely “a place for everything and everything in its place” kind of space, which speaks to Christy’s love of organization. They removed a wall and added a large island as you continue into the kitchen. Behind the island is a seven-burner gas range with a double oven, perfect for cooking for a crowd, and a large white vent-a-hood with gold accents that pulls in the color of the cabinet hardware. The backdrop to the large kitchen is handmade, glossy tile in varying shades of blue for a touch of personality.
