Above: “The majority of the books belong to my mother and were passed down from her mother, Loretta,” Dylan explains. “To me, merging a library and a dining room is the perfect pairing, because the books promote conversation and hold the experiences of each dinner party, brunch, or jam session around the table.”
HIS ‘HOOD Just off the square in downtown Bentonville
HIS FAVORITE ROOM “My mother and I have a hobby for hosting experiences. These are more than dinner parties because they connect food, music, art, and the stories of a diverse group of people. The dining room is my favorite space in the house because it is the anchor for these experiences.”
HIS HOME’S STYLE 1940s Brick Bungalow
DESIGN ADVICE “Don’t be afraid of black walls.”
CURRENT DESIGN INSPIRATIONS “I’m totally in awe of Kelly Wearstler. She is the ultimate champion of the maximalist moment we are seeing in design right now. She feels fresh yet familiar in an instant. My friends David Leven and Stella Betts of LEVENBETTS Architects are also great innovators. They challenge building types, celebrate a building’s site, and care about how a space works.”
