Blast from the Past
A midcentury marvel gets a modern, mountain-inspired update
There was so much to love in this Fayetteville kitchen, including soaring ceilings and sleek bones, when designer Whitney Romanoff’s clients bought the house. “It was E. Fay Jones-inspired,” Whitney says, referencing the local Mad Men-era architect. And yet the cook space’s existing finishes weren’t quite reflective of this family and how they want to live in 2024. “It had a very ’90s, early 2000s aesthetic,” Whitney says, noting its previous metallic backsplash tile and clunky lighting. “We did a full material glow-up.”

How Shady Grove Pecan Orchards stemmed from a longtime family dream
For decades, Billy Jeter dreamed that one day, along with his family, he would plant a grove and grow his own pecans. Unsurprising, maybe, since the Jeter family’s farming heritage in Arkansas dates four generations. (Their extended family still farms cotton, corn, wheat, and soybeans in Jefferson County.) But pecans in particular held a special place in Jeter’s heart. “Where we’re from, there were these old pecan trees, and it was nostalgic for families to sit around at the holidays, crack pecans, and eat them,” says Anna Jeter Lester, Billy’s daughter. “People would get them as gifts and put them in desserts.”

The rich history of Faulkner County’s seat lives on through passionate Conwegians
Everyone should love their house like Emily Walter loves hers. Built in 1948, original features such as hardwood floors and colorfully tiled bathrooms captured her design-loving heart, but it was really the home’s location that sealed the deal. “Living in the Robinson Historic District, everyone who lives down here appreciates living in a historic home,” she says. “My neighbors and I have a Christmas brunch every year, and it goes on for three hours because we sit there and talk about our houses like they’re our children. It’s like the fourth member of our family.”

Empire State of Mind
Designer Casey Sarkin looks to New York City as her inspiration for this Fayetteville family’s home reno
Casey Sarkin had an unexpected muse when she began working on this “very suburban, Dallas-style” home for her longtime clients: the storied, century-old brownstones of Brooklyn, New York. “I’ve known this couple for probably 20 years,” the Fayetteville-based designer recalls. “When our kids were little, they had hired me to come and remodel the house.” However, life got in the way—as life does—and the remodel never quite happened. “They recently came back and said, Okay, I know we’ve lived here a lifetime, but now we’re ready to make it our own,” Casey says.

Finders, Keepers
Little Rock collector Rachel Jones invites us into her charming bungalow that overflows with history and intrigue at every corner
Our house is always changing,” says Rachel Jones of the 1915 Stift Station bungalow she shares with her husband, Jordan Wimpy. The ongoing evolution is fueled by her fascination with vintage and antique wares. Large and small, intricately handmade or mass-produced, she has become a keeper of found objects and her home is much like a gallery. “Nothing is perfect because everything is old,” Rachel says, adding that paint loss and decay are part of the story. “I’m not perfect and neither are these items, but I love everything here and have selected it with care. I really think about what I bring into our home—and, of course, space and budget are always issues.”

ASO on the Move
For the 2024-25 season, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra (arkansassymphony.org) moves to its new home in the Stella Boyle Smith Music Center in Little Rock’s East Village. Ground broke last August on the orchestra’s eagerly anticipated $11.75 million facility, the first of its kind in the state. The sleek new digs mark the first permanent home for the ASO since inception, nearly 60 years ago. While full ASO performances will remain at Robinson Center, the new location has room for smaller ones plus classrooms for music education, a recording studio, and rehearsal space. WER Architects of Little Rock designed the space, and it was built by Bailey Construction and Consulting.

Gentlemen’s Quarters
Jonathan Parkey whips up a dashing home that will stand the test of time
That old expression, Write what you know, could apply to design, too, especially when you’re putting together your own home. For Jonathan Parkey, an aesthetic visionary behind everything from interiors to events, the muse for the revamp of his 1921 Little Rock Colonial was clear: men’s style. “Our main inspiration for the whole house was really my background in fashion,” says Jonathan, who worked closely with his husband, Chris Marsh, to design their home. “I was kind of a [fashion] designer before I became an interior designer. So a lot of what we wanted to use was inspired by men’s tailoring, and men’s suiting, overall.” To that end, you’ll spy English chalk stripe wool flannel on the window treatments in the living room, upholstery fabrics like corduroy and herringbone, and even oxford cloth sheets on the bed.

Best of Both Worlds
Lee Anne Stelte strikes a balance between work and home life in her renovated Bentonville cottage
When interior designer Lee Anne Stelte first purchased her 1950s cottage in Bentonville, she originally planned to “shine it up, live here for two years, and flip it,” she says. But shortly after construction began, the COVID-19 pandemic brought progress to a standstill, giving Lee Anne time to reconsider a more long-term plan for the home.
