TIMELESS & TRUE
Inspired by how the formal sitting room was styled in a 2012 feature in At Home in Arkansas, the new homeowner wanted to feature matching sofas flanking the fireplace, as well as a large sisal rug layered with a smaller rug on top. The exaggerated height of the fireplaces used throughout was an intentional choice by Melissa when the home was originally built. “These Rumford fire boxes were not commonly used in our area,” she says. “They were not something that people wanted to go through the extent of doing, but I was adamant about this being a very real fireplace.”
