Tonya York’s Indian Hills home is warm, welcoming, and full of mementos and artifacts from friends, family, and her travels. It’s full of cozy, carefully thought-out spaces but it wasn’t always that way. When she purchased the property, she knew she had to put some work into the place; and, she says, the home improvement process hasn’t stopped.
Made of memories
“This was a total fixer-upper,” York said. “I never could have afforded it otherwise.”
When she purchased the house about 20 years ago, it hadn’t been touched in quite some time. It sat vacant for nearly a year before the previous owner’s children finally got around to selling it.

âArt holds value and adds worth to a community, those who live there, work there, and visit,â local artist Kellene Turner recently expressed to me when I told her I wanted to pick her brain about all things art and community.
My earliest memories with art involve a blank piece of white paper and crayon. I tried hard to design the perfect oversized tree with tiny multi-colored flowers to grace its presence. My skill level never improved far beyond that. But my fascination for those with talents far greater than mine always lingered.
Once on a vacation I found myself buying a ticket to visit an art museum. It was slightly out of my comfort zone but the hours I spent there trying to understand the thoughts behind the pieces were meaningful. I was captivated by the pieces. On that same trip I attended a painting class, further proving my lack of skill with color and advancing my appreciation for those who make it look so easy.
