Timeless in Texas by Mark D. Sikes

After her four boys left the nest, Sarah Aynesworth decided it was time to refresh her classic 1930s home, located in Waco, Texas. She called upon Mark D. Sikes, an old college friend, to work his magic. He was tasked with reincorporating a house full of family heirlooms and antiques while brightening the palette and adding beautiful prints and textiles. “She is a true traditional Southerner when it comes to style,” Mark told Southern Living magazine. The boys’ bedrooms were transformed into welcoming guest retreats, and each room incorporates beautiful quilts made by Sarah’s late mother. “I told Mark when we started that everything is meaningful to our family,” Sarah said. “And to me, that’s what makes a house a home.” Mark expertly blended the old and the new to create a home that is personal and completely original.
