September 2007


Interior designer Johnna Thomas of Little Rock gave client Miles Goggans exactly what he asked for in his master bath—a modern space that takes full advantage of the amazing view of the Arkansas River. The minimalist décor includes rich chocolate-brown furnishings contrasted by a neutral color palette on all surfaces. Windows above the bath and in the shower bring the outdoors in while offering top-notch views.	Miles’ favorite aspect of his new bath is the sunken trough sink featuring double faucets from Falk Plumbing Supply. The sink carries on the clean, uncluttered look of the rest of the space.

Once dark and enclosed, Mike and Cheryl Shook’s Stuttgart kitchen is now functional and open thanks to a recent remodel. With cabinets filled with organizational extras, a dual-level granite-topped island that includes individual surfaces for cooking and dining and beautiful new views of the atrium courtyard and patio area, this kitchen is now completely use-friendly thanks to the team of Donna Danforth, Lori Hazelwood, Jim Stengel and Brian Gibbs Construction.	In Bill and Greta Wright’s Little Rock bathroom, Trudi McCollum, ASID, CKD, CBD, of Design Phase One took contemporary to an entirely new level with the use of unstained walnut paneling on the cabinetry and tub skirt. The sleek white backdrop is balanced by the walnut, as well as brushed nickel faucets, porcelain sinks and red accents found in art and accessories.

In their Quapaw Tower condo in Little Rock, Mary and Joshua Johnson wanted a simple, clean-lined design for their kitchen, which blends with the living room for easy entertaining. IKEA cabinetry combines with stainless-steel accents for a chic look, while refrigerator and dishwasher drawers keep the space clutter free.	Beautifully complementing the dark cabinets, frosted-glass shelving offers plenty of room for storing dishes and serving pieces in the Johnsons’ new kitchen.

With an emphasis on entertaining, the Fayetteville kitchen of Bobby and Judy New boasts an open floor plan with a decidedly modern look. Designed by architect Laleh Amirmoez of AFHJ Architects in Fayetteville, the kitchen opens directly into the dining room, and many of the same materials were used to tie the spaces together. “We really wanted to provide a sense of continuity between the two spaces,” Laleh says.
