Festive Fare
“Cottage style translates as cozy to me,” says designer Cynthia Smiley, who used painted cabinetry, wood floors and beadboard accents to add time-tested charm to the kitchen in the newly built Fayetteville home she shares with her husband, Dennis, and their two children.
Abundant windows keep the room bright, complemented by white walls accented with clear glass tile and dark granite counters that create “a simple palette that bounces light around the room,” says Smiley. An additional benefit of this straightforward color pairing: “I can add any accent color, and it looks great,” she says. “It’s a wonderful backdrop, especially during the holidays.”

A Vintage Christmas
To Jessica Graham, owner of Mae’s Emporium in Fayetteville, vintage jewelry doesn’t belong stuck away in a box. When not being worn, and especially during the holidays, it should also become a focal point of your decor. Graham, with the help of business partners Lynlee Critz and Emily Digby, even uses it to trim her store, hoping to encourage customers to rethink the role of vintage jewelry within their homes. “Creating visuals is one of the things we like best,” she says. “We change our store window depending on fashion trends and seasons, and we always decorate for Christmas.”
Graham has built her collection over the course of a decade. She gathers pieces based in part on notes she keeps in a “little black book,” for clients who may be looking for a locket with their initials, or brides seeking special earrings for bridesmaid gifts. Otherwise, what she brings back to Mae’s depends on her discerning taste, and the invaluable knowledge she has gathered from experts while buying in California, New York, and the 28 flea markets she frequents across Arkansas.

At Home with Davis Tillman
Bringing his work home with him is a daily occurrence for Davis Tillman, whose antique-filled loft is located above his family’s namesake antiques shop in downtown Hot Springs. “I’ve always enjoyed surrounding myself with timeless treasures,” says Tillman, pictured in his library amid his collection of rare and unusual objects, including theatrical memorabilia.
“My collections are eclectic, and the criteria is that the items are either rare or beautiful. I’m simply their caretaker until the next generation.”
