Getting Back to Nature
Designer Sean Shrum transforms a dark, outdated master bath into an organic retreat
A familiar street, a new house, and a master bath that was not everything this homeowner dreamed about. “It started out much darker. Before, there was lots of black trim, and black granite, and very heavily hand-painted, textured Italian wallpaper. It was much more glam than my client preferred,” says designer Sean Shrum of Sean Shrum Studio. The new homeowner, who is a huge animal lover and rescues animals, desired a simpler, yet refined space that was more fitting to her and her husband’s lifestyle.

Rustic Revival
Jonesboro designer Sean Shrum creates a stunning kitchen that is naturally appealing
Single level homes are not easy to find, especially on the golf course, but that’s exactly the type of home this homeowner and her husband had been hoping for, so when the only single-level home in their neighborhood went up for sale, they didn’t waste any time purchasing it.

Old Meets New
A bath design dream team brings a Chenal home into the 21st Century with a new layout, custom storage, and on-trend color scheme
The original bath in this year’s Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Guild’s Designer Showhouse left a bit to be desired. Planning later to put the home on the market, the owner knew that the step-up jacuzzi tub, fluted columns, and too-small shower weren’t putting the home’s best foot forward. Meridith Ranouil of MLH Designs, Alissa Oates, and Bill Wrape of Distinctive Kitchens and Baths, and Debi Davis of Debi Davis Interior Design came on board to give the bath more appeal to potential buyers and bring it up to date. First, the layout was addressed. The dated corner tub unit was replaced with a glass-enclosed shower. Where the shower previously stood, Ranouil, Oates, and Wrape collaborated on a cabinet designed to look like an over-sized piece of furniture.

Simple Sophistication
An outdated kitchen gets a timeless new look, just in time for its Designer Showhouse debut
This Spring, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Guild held its bi-annual fundraiser, the Symphony Designer Showhouse, a collaboration among designers and vendors across the state. Meridith Ranouil of MLH Designs along with Bill Wrape and Alissa Oates of Distinctive Kitchens and Baths collaborated on the remodel of the Chenal home’s kitchen. “The house was built in the 1980’s so there were a few features that really dated it,” Ranouil says. “We wanted to make it more functional and current, and give it a very classic and timeless feel.” Centrally located in the home and open to the den, the team wanted to give the space a neutral, universally-appealing makeover in preparation for the house going on the market. “This project was a little different because we wanted to appeal to nine out of 10 potential buyers,” Wrape, who has been designing custom kitchens and baths for 17 years, explains. Ranouil disguised the Palladian-style window (a popular feature at the time of the home’s construction) with a custom Roman shade.

Tuscan Flavor
A homebuilder and his wife individualize their new kitchen with detailed accents more reflective of their style
Teresa and Reggie Clow are no strangers to creating custom homes. As the owner of Sharlow Builders and Developers, Reggie has built numerous houses throughout central Arkansas, including the couple’s current home in Alexander, which sits on four acres. However, for this kitchen, they were eager to include more intricate finishes and details that would set the design apart from their previous residence. “We really paid more attention to the common spaces in this house,” Teresa says. “We wanted a more ornate style than we had in the past.”

Flawless Finishes
Designer Shayla Copas left no stone unturned when designing a custom kitchen to suit her family’s needs
“I believe in trying to get the most out of a space,” says Shayla Copas of Shayla Copas Interiors. And she left no detail unattended during the years-long renovation of the Little Rock-area home she shares with her husband and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Roxie. “We’re empty nesters and I run my design business out of our home, so our needs are little different,” she explains. They turned an unused bedroom into a closet and dressing space, and added a carriage house to accommodate her design business, but one of the most drastic changes came in the kitchen. “Before, it was dark and cramped, but now it is light, airy, and open,” Copas says. To accomplish this, a former hallway was narrowed allowing room to widen the kitchen, and the layout was adjusted to add more storage. Copas replaced dark wood cabinets with new WoodMode cabinets from Distinctive Kitchens and Baths, and then customized with trim, corbels, and columns.
