Bob and Bonnie Crafton’s Rogers home celebrates its 100th year in 2008, and they have restored this stately Southern plantation-style home to its original splendor.

The Craftons continued the red accent color to the furnishings and colorful pillows on the porch, and Bonnie decided to paint the ceiling a light green color, which she found more appealing than the traditional gray. A true sign of Southern living, the porch swing and accompanying chairs offer the ideal spot to relax and visit with guests.
