ABOVE Attic sleeping quarters hark back
to the home’s beginnings, including the
original chimney and poplar floors and
beams that reveal wood peg construction.
LEFT For the laundry room, Sherri chose an
old-fashioned sink, reminiscent of farmhouse
troughs and early plumbing. She painted
the bottom for contrast and to coordinate
with the towel rack, made from reclaimed
wood. The tile floor, she says, “is a nod to an
old quilting look.” OPPOSITE, TOP LEFT
The farmhouse’s sign features a sculpted
magnolia as an homage to Doug’s late
mother. The name came from the overgrown
briars that once populated much of the
property. OPPOSITE, TOP RIGHT The
Lackeys fashioned the screen-porch floor from
the salvaged brick of an early-1900s house in
Nashville that was torn down. The massive
iron light fixture incorporates candlelike
lights for historical effect. OPPOSITE
BOTTOM The bunk room features custom
ironwork that’s as hefty as the poplar
bedposts, made from the home’s original
support beams.
