Classic & Current
The best of both worlds combine in a new build helmed by designer Nikki Hastings
It’s no secret that renovations rarely go exactly as planned. However, for this young Little Rock couple, plans for an update turned into plans for a new build. “They were having issues with the structure; and once we got in, we learned the plumbing and electrical weren’t up to code and would have to be ripped out,” explains designer Nikki Hastings. Weighing their options, starting afresh seemed to be the most viable path. “I know there are people who are quick to pull the trigger on just level it and go, but I really feel like we did the due diligence to not have to do that,” Nikki says.

Building History: Cheers at the OPO
The middle of the Fayetteville Square has always been a hub of sorts. Originally the lot for the Washington County Courthouse, the structure that now occupies the intersection of Block Avenue and Center Street served as the town post office from 1911 to 1963. Falling vacant after the post office was relocated, the Neoclassical Revival building was slated to be razed as part of an early 1970s Urban Renewal Plan. Fortunately, its value and character didn’t go unnoticed, and a group of local citizens stepped in to petition for it to remain.
