A HOME IN THE COUNTRY GETS A
Makeover
DR. SONYA MERRIMAN AND HER HUSBAND MARK PLEASANTS ARE NOW EMPTY-NESTERS AND DECIDED A MAKEOVER FOR THEIR HOME IS JUST WHAT THEY NEEDED.

A house can be bought in a moment, but establishing a home is a process that takes time, much thought, and planning. Dr. Sonya Merriman and her husband, Mark Pleasants, found such a house in the country over 16 years ago. They knew it was the place they wanted to raise their two girls, escape the busyness of life with plenty of room for their horses to roam, and begin making memories in this new abode. The house, on Old State Road, was built in 1996 by its original owners. Unlike most homes built during this period, it had higher ceilings, spacious rooms, and an open floor plan concept for the main living areas. What seemed to persuade them to purchase the property was the beautiful, genteel setting with plenty of yards and southern pasture.
