An Unexpected Move Toward The Traditional

As much as Debbie Cook enjoys when other people like her house, she has clearly decorated it for herself.  One of her favorite things to do is to get up on Saturday morning and enjoy all the hard work she has gone through to make a beautiful home.  "I like to get up early and sit around in different rooms and reflect on how lucky I am.  When I look at that lamp we bought in New Orleans, [I remember] when we were visiting our daughter, and when I see the pictures on that wall I think of Steve Tipton, and all those pieces of Herron my husband collected for me.  So everything has a story.  It makes me feel good."  That's when you know you've got it right.
