Aquatic Oasis Pools and Spas helps transform a Little Rock family’s backyard into a frequent hangout
In the fall of 2020, Jennifer and Kevin Wilcox planned to overhaul the kitchen in their 1960s home when it hit them: Their two sons would soon graduate from high school and not be there to enjoy time together with family and friends. “We were saving money to remodel the kitchen, but we realized our oldest was heading off to college and we thought, Wow, we won’t have our kids much longer,” Jennifer says. “We really wanted a place where our sons could hang out with their friends, and we figured they wouldn’t really enjoy a new stove, but they’d enjoy a pool.”

A Lighter Fare
Tilden House freshens up a 1960s kitchen with a mix of classic and colorful ingredients
When designer Nikki Hastings was enlisted to revamp a Little Rock family of four’s cook space, it was still mired in the year the house was built: 1968. “The kitchen that we remodeled was original to the French colonial home,” recalls Nikki, founder of Little Rock design firm Tilden House. Translation: a woody, nearly cellar-like throwback. “We wanted it to feel like it fit because we were definitely keeping the architectural lines and integrity of what was currently there, but we also wanted to make it theirs—to bring it more to the present day and to make it function for their family.”

Building History: Miss Laura’s Visitor Center
Once a bustling bordello in Fort Smith’s early days, the former Miss Laura’s Social Club on the banks of the Arkansas River now houses the city’s Visitor Center and the Fort Smith Convention and Visitors Bureau office. The large baroque Victorian building was first built in 1898 by Laura Ziegler, who borrowed $5,000 in loans from local residents, as women could not take out loans at the time. She constructed and furnished the space, then opened its doors in 1903 as one of six row houses that formed Fort Smith’s red-light district.

Let’s Get Cooking
Designer Beth Reed updates a Conway kitchen with a clean approach to layout and aesthetics
Improved functionality and a lighter palette were top of mind when Paige and David Revis contacted interior designer Beth Reed. Having lived in their home since the 1990s, small updates had been made as trends evolved but their kitchen’s flow still offered limited space for cooking and conversation. Not only had the Revises known Beth personally for years, they had seen her work in friends’ homes and trusted her to execute on both goals.

Lake Living
Marianna O’Dea helps a young family turn a weekend retreat into a practical and playful full-time residence
“An epic five-month summer.” That’s how one of the owners of this Hot Springs home describes the initial months of the pandemic, which they spent away from their Little Rock residence and at the lake instead. “We felt a little guilty when we looked around, but we had been living our best life,” the homeowner says. For the young family of four, days spent wakesurfing and nights looking out at the water were a dream. Not wanting to lose sight of the togetherness and fun they shared during that season, they made the decision to move to their Lake Hamilton vacation home permanently.
