When life gets crazy, it’s very important to kick back and recharge your batteries! The Young and the Restless star Melissa Ordway has a go-to getaway when the hectic work gets the better of her. The Abby Newman actress has found the perfect spot to unwind with her family. Melissa and her husband, Justin Gaston, are taking on a brand-new adventure—revamping a charming cabin in Hohenwald, Tennessee. Read on to know all the deets!
Melissa Ordway Makes a Big Move
The Young and the Restless actress excitedly revealed her latest news to fans through a lively Instagram video. She offered a sneak peek of their new project, which will serve as a cozy retreat for her daughters, Sophie and Olivia. “We bought a cabin up here in Hohenwald, TN, and we’re planning to do a before-and-after,” Ordway shared.
Before Melissa can turn this space into a stunning cabin, she first has to give it a thorough cleaning. She admitted, “This place needs a lot of help. It’s very dirty.” True to her nature, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work, with the clip showcasing her scrubbing the floors and giving a tour of the kitchen, living room, and bedroom.
We can’t wait to see how incredible the whole place will look once the Y&R star works her magic! And here’s the cutest part: Sophie and Olivia were having a blast splashing around in a nearby creek, sporting bright pink boots. But the fun didn’t stop there; the family also decided to create a fire pit in the yard—how exciting!
A perfect addition for those cozy nights under the Tennessee sky, isn’t it? Next, Ordway couldn’t help but poke a little fun at Justin, asking whether he knew what he was doing. After all, his time in the Boy Scouts didn’t last long! Fortunately, the fire pit was a success, and the family relished some crispy bacon and delicious s’mores by the fire.
Melissa admitted, “It needs a significant amount of work, but it’s so beautiful out here and so peaceful.” She highlighted the importance of hitting pause and relaxing in between working. Last year, the Gaston household moved into their custom-built home on the land they had purchased. This time, they’ve added this rustic cabin to their collection of dreamy retreats.
We can’t wait to see the “after” of this project—it will be absolutely gorgeous! Until then, stay tune for more updates on The Young and the Restless celebs.
