Christy Forester Pettus spent her youth singing with her sisters as a member of the Lookout Mountain quartet The Forester Sisters. The Warner Brothers group recorded five No. 1 country singles and received a Vocal Music Group of the Year award from the Academy of Country Music.
While the sisters still occasionally perform together, their professional lives have branched off. Following in the footsteps of her sister, Kim, Pettus entered the home design field. She has worked for Scarlett’s Cabinetry & Interiors for the last 13 years, helping people bring their visions for their homes to fruition.
“I’m a creative person,” Pettus said. “I grew up singing, so that was like breathing. There’s an artistic appeal (to both music and home decor).”
Pettus worked with Dr. Tim and Erika Ballard to remodel the kitchen in their Harrison home.
“The kitchen before was just in a corner,” said Erika Ballard. “It was where everyone ended up spending time even though we don’t have a lot of space. The goal is that we wanted a kitchen that would overlook the family room so we could all be in here together.”
