Welcome Friends!
Exterior designer Daniel Keeley and chef Jen Lewis come together to create a memorable Thanksgiving feast at Keeley’s Fayetteville home
Imagine for a second that you are friends with one of the most talented garden and exterior designers in the state and he’s invited you to his home for Thanksgiving. What’s more, he happens to be friends with one of the area’s top chefs and you’ll be dining on fare she has created especially for this evening. Sound too good to be true? Not if you’re friends with exterior designer Daniel Keeley of DK Design and chef Jen Lewis of Jen’s Art of Cooking. The pair chose a cool night last autumn to gather with new and old friends for an updated take on Thanksgiving traditions. Dubbing the evening a “friendsgiving,” guests took in the beauty of the garden spaces at Keeley’s personal home while enjoying an innovative and freshly made spread prepared by Lewis.

Rewriting the Rules
Knowing the rules and always playing by them are two different things. Designer Joshua Plumlee uses color, art, and custom furnishings to shake up traditional design and to make this home a reflection of its fun-loving owners.
When Julie and Jason Smith and their two children moved into a home in the Heights neighborhood of Little Rock, they turned to designer Joshua Plumlee with Cobblestone & Vine to help bridge the gap between the classic look of the house and their distinctive personal style. “They are just a very interesting family;” Plumlee says, “they’re quirky and fun, with great taste in art. The house is very traditional, and it’s in a very traditional neighborhood, and the design needed to make sense in that context. But we also wanted to have some fun with colors and art—stepping outside of what is expected.” The result is a moody and glamorous—yet inviting—home that delights in its own eccentricities and offers a unique take on traditional home decor.

EATS & SWEETS

Our mouths are still watering for another piece of the pecan pie! Dine here and you’ll enjoy the food as much as you’ll enjoy visiting with Mrs. Rhoda herself.
