A heartfelt renovation fuses function and beauty in Anna E. Cottrell’s Fayetteville home
Slowly, thoughtfully, and with intention: That’s the approach Anna E. Cottrell has taken redoing the midcentury modern abode she purchased 10 years ago. Drawn to the home’s natural light and architecture, she was enamored from the first time she stepped foot inside. “The whole vibe was very cool, very effortless,” she says. “And it’s nestled up on a hillside so it feels private, but I’m close to everything in town.”
Over the past decade, Anna added personal touches to the home (one rendition can be seen in the October 2016 issue of At Home in Arkansas); however, she stopped short of full-scale renovations in the kitchen and bathrooms, which had been largely untouched since the home’s 1961 construction. “When I got the house, my Realtor was like, don’t do a lot of small projects. Wait and do a proper remodel when you’re ready,” she recalls. So for years she lived with the older home’s quirks, including laundry appliances located in the kitchen, chopped-up countertops, and a shallow tub in her primary bath. Deciding it was finally time to remedy some of these features, she wanted to get it right—which meant finding an interior designer to help direct her decisions.

Taste of Arkansas: Berry Sweet
There’s nothing quite like the taste of a sweet, juicy Arkansas strawberry. Come spring, the clamor for the vine-ripened fruits begins. By the carton or the flat, pickers from around the state head to farms to purchase the bright red, ready-to-eat beauties. While some will no doubt be eaten on the drive home, the majority make their way into jams, strawberry shortcake stacks, or breakfast bowls to be enjoyed.

Lavender Dream
A South Arkansas fixer-upper becomes a happy first home at the hands of designer Jeremy Carter
Location, location, location—that’s about all this Monticello home had going for it when Halley Ryburn-Powell first considered calling it her own. Having recently moved back to her hometown, she found the house hunt to be more challenging than expected. Eventually her dad had an idea: “When I couldn’t find anything,” she says, “my dad came to me and said, What about the house next to us?” Sure enough, the rental property next door to her parents was available for purchase. “Of all the times I passed this house, I never imagined I would end up living here,” says Halley, who now shares the home with her husband, Johnathan.
Built in 1951, the house lacked the amenities and flow of modern living, not to mention the personal touches that would help Halley feel at home. Enter Jeremy Carter, a Little Rock-based interior designer who has become a friend of the family in recent years. Jeremy got straight to work on a renovation that touched every surface—from a new roof and refinished hardwood flooring to the addition of a back entrance, garage, and laundry room. “The only rooms that are in the same spots as before are the living, dining, and the kitchen, kind of,” Jeremy says. “We also reworked the staircase to the second floor and all the dormer windows. My goal was really to make it like an English cottage,” he adds.
