At Home with Adrienne Taylor
OCCUPATION: Landscape designer and contractor. My husband, Brad, and I have owned our business, Nature Company, for 27 years.
BEST KNOWN FOR: Residential landscapes. I’m not known for one style, because I suit the style to the client; I consider listening to them—learning what they want and how they want to enjoy their yard—the most important element of my job. But in my own garden, I’m known for a bit of controlled chaos: a garden with good bones and a softness that plays off the structure.
LIVES IN: West Little Rock, in a contemporary home that we renovated and moved into last summer. We’re still growing into and learning this house.
MY FAVORITE PART OF MY HOUSE IS: By the fireplace, which is in the open living and kitchen area we created during the renovation. When our daughter Kate and son Hayes are home, it’s a wonderful place for all of us to hang out. And our dogs, Amos and Tucker, curl up next to the fireplace with me and instantly fall asleep.

Lean on Me
Sporting a cane may no longer be mainstream, but a select few still have enough panache to get away with it. Davis Tillman, owner of Tillman’s Antiques in Hot Springs, is one of the select few. The antiquarian began his cane collection more than 30 years ago, and has been known to don one on special occasions. “Every now and again, yes I do carry one,” he says, smiling. “I like to be a little over the top.”
For centuries, canes have served as accessories for men, often denoting power. In Rome, they were marked with eagles, while Egyptian styles featured lotus blossoms. In Asia, they also represented good fortune, and African chiefs and kings carried staffs carved from wood. “In almost every continent and culture, canes have been symbols of power and position,” Tillman says.

At Home in Arkansas:
What were your main design strategies for this family home in Conway?
Becky Charton:
The homeowners love the outdoors—every room has access to the outside and there are walls of windows. Because one of the stabilizers for this family of six is orderliness, I didn’t use a lot of accessories and little things. It was more about textures, and I kept the scale large because the sky and the trees are part of the background through windows in every space.
