Roy wanted a Victorian house, and Marie wanted one open enough that "all the grandbabies would be visible within a few steps," she says. At their last home in Mableton, she'd have to keep them all with her in the kitchen, where she'd worry that they would "toddle" into a danger zone. Built by Bonner Custom Homes, Rhett Bonner oversaw the project that seems to have made the Barneses very content.
