A LOCAL FAMILY REFLECTS ON THE DETAILS THAT MADE THEIR HOUSE A HOME
ARTICLE MICHELLE W. PARNELL PHOTOGRAPHY JENNIFER KAMINSKI
SEASONS OF LIFE BRING CHANGE AND TRANSFORMATION. So is the case for the Beavers-Damron family as they transition from their Emerald Crossing home in Jones Creek Plantation. Stories of great times with family and friends flow from Sam Beavers and her daughter, Gelsey, as they share favorite features of their home. Amid the stories, Gelsey declares, “There’s just tons of space for fun!”

Sam and her husband, George Damron, find the open floor plan to be extremely versatile. She says, “The layout has allowed us to grow and adapt the space to be functional for what we were doing at that point in our lives—lots of room for toys or craft projects and then later, space where our daughter could hang out with her friends.” Each piece of furniture has a unique story. “We like to incorporate things from family, and we try to buy things that are made from reclaimed or recycled materials," Sam says. "I like to leave things as they are because I find that dings and scratches on things tell a story." "I work with the International Justice Mission, which is an anti-human trafficking organization, so fair labor practices are very important CONTINUED >

to us,” shares Sam. Gelsey adds, “We also try to use furniture that we will actually live in… that we can use, so that friends can come in and not feel weird about using it.” “Holidays are our favorite!” Sam shares with a gleam in her eyes. “Every winter solstice, we line the entire driveway with luminaries all the way up to the stairs. That’s a family tradition the neighbors have always commented on. Inside, the high ceilings let you have a tall tree, the mantel is set up nicely for decorating, and we have extra outlets everywhere for Christmas lights.” “We have a big family, and there is plenty of room to host holidays like Thanksgiving,” Gelsey says. “The kitchen is open," Sam adds. "It gives you a little privacy so that if you’re having a dinner party, people aren’t hanging right in the kitchen, but it still gives you the ability to see what’s going on in the other room.” Opportunity for fun continues outdoors. “The back yard is nice and level, so we could put up volleyball nets and croquet courses...It’s a great space for lots of tables. We’ve had lots of outdoor parties,” Sam says. “There is not a ton of light pollution, so we love having a telescope to see all the stars. We have had several times when people would come over to see astronomical events with us.” According
to
Susan
Salisbury
of
Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate, “The friendly gated community and easy access to downtown, to the medical campuses, to Fort Gordon and to Evans Towne Center places this home in a highly desirable location. It also makes a great Masters rental.” Neighborhood location and amenities such as a community park, pond and walking trails round out the appeal of this Jones Creek Plantation home. The Beavers-Damron family recently relocated to Arizona, where George was offered a new and exciting opportunity. When asked what she wanted for the next family who would call the Emerald Crossing house their home, Sam wished that they would enjoy it and create as many wonderful memories as her family had. 20

INSPIRED BY
SMOKE ON THE WATER
HOW MUSIC INSPIRED FASHION AND PHOTOGRAPHY FOR A LOCAL ARTIST
LOCAL CREATIVE JERI ANN BECKWORTH IS KNOWN FOR MANY THINGS: HER GENEROUS HEART, HER SUCCESS IN RAISING MORE THAN $60,000 IN 2019'S WOMAN OF THE YEAR CAMPAIGN, AND HER WORK AS A PHOTOGRAPHER. Her most recent project, Smoke on the Water, has a siren-like quality, inspired by the edgy Deep Purple classic. What began as a thought became a collaboration of many, including Brandy Gibson of Tiffinie Bleu Bridal Boutique (who donated a wedding gown) and her husband, Corey Beckworth. When asked about her creative journey, Jeri Ann shares, "Much of what I create begins with the music I hear. I relate to it, see by it. It inspires the projects I continue working on behind the scenes." Jeri Ann had a distinct vision and worked with a close circle to create what she saw. "It's thrilling to join so many different elements—fashion, makeup, lighting and even the dynamic of nature—to create what began as a simple lyric." Her use of a dramatic smokey eye (by the talented Mickey Busch) and the wispy elegance of a wedding gown gives a soft yet daring voice to her interpretation of the well-known lyric, and we couldn't be more mesmerized.

On the front nine, you'll find friendlier fairways. Make the turn to the back nine and you'll see more trees that define the holes, making the fairways tighter, and the holes harder.
