Found objects and design know-how come into play in a charming Mountain Home garden retreat
The seed for Traci and Steve Burges’ garden house was planted with a trio of floor-to-ceiling windows purchased for the sum of $8. “We have an auction here in Mountain Home, and Steve buzzed in one night and bought all three giant windows,” Traci says. Too good to pass up, yet unsure of how or when they would use them, the couple began to formulate a plan after a storm took down several full-grown arbor vitae on their property. “I said, What about coming back with a garden shed? And he said, Sure, I’ll use the windows,” Traci recalls.

After an interior renovation, a Fayetteville couple turns to Daniel Keeley to follow suit outdoors
With some children leaving the nest and others joining the family through marriage, the owners of this home realized the time had come to update—both indoors and out. As the interior projects drew to a close, they evaluated their backyard. “We began to realize everything looked dated,” the homeowner says. “We also needed space to grow.

As the birthplace of commercial catfish farms, Arkansas knows a thing or two about the regionally famous filets. Long before these entrepreneurships were born, catfish were pulled from streams and rivers from the hills to the Delta as a reliable dinner for a crowd.

Designer Tami Risinger turns the style all the way up at the home of dear friends in Conway
Sometimes all it takes is one spark to get the creative fire going. For designer Tami Risinger and her client Jennifer Crain, that ignition came in the form of a coffee table book: Inviting Interiors: A Fresh Take on Beautiful Rooms. Released in 2021, the book features the work of Atlanta designer Melanie Turner—and the cover ended up being just the inspiration needed for the recent refresh of Jennifer’s Conway residence. “The front cover of that book had these peaches and reds and corals all together, and I loved it. It was very edgy,” Tami says. “And Jennifer’s edgy. She’s that client who will totally step out of the box and is not afraid of pattern or color, as you can see.”
