Destination: Delta
With the addition of The Louis, Wilson solidifies its reputation as an essential part of the Arkansas food scene
As executive chef at the Ritz Carlton in Houston, Todd Rogers once fed the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and both Presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush. He has helmed the culinary program at five-star resorts in Pennsylvania and Georgia and overseen more than a dozen restaurants at a time. With a resume like his, Wilson might sound like an odd place for Chef Todd to land, but he jumped at the chance to shape this tiny Arkansas town’s culinary future as its vice president of culinary, farming, and culture. “It’s not me taking over another resort or playbook,” Todd says. “We’re building the playbook here.”

Discover Downtown Little Rock
In the heart of the Capital City, tight-knit communities and an emphasis on walkable living create a slower pace that welcomes all
Long gone are the days of downtowns sitting dormant and forgotten, and Little Rock’s is no exception. One of the earliest efforts to revitalize the district began more than 25 years ago with the opening of the River Market. Since then, initiatives to bring people back downtown have extended slowly south and eastward, jumping what before seemed like the impassable borders of Interstates 30 and 630. People are visiting—and moving to—neighborhoods such as South Main Street and the Quapaw Quarter, Pettaway Park, and East Village in droves thanks to new opportunities and thoughtful planning in the city’s most historic communities.

Color Inspiration
Paint companies’ Color of the Year picks feature a coastal flair for 2024
There’s a reason blue is often referred to as a neutral color in interior design: it looks good in just about every setting. The most prevalent hue seen in nature, it’s also known to bring a sense of calm to interiors. Therefore, it’s no surprise paint companies are returning to this versatile tone for their Color of the Year selections, such as Sherwin-Williams’ “Upward.” “We’ve seen nature-inspired colors taking over since the beginning of this decade, with greens and earthy tones taking over the first few years,” says Sue Wadden, the company’s director of color marketing. She describes “Upward” as a light and airy blue with a little bit of gray. “It’s a very peaceful color that evokes happiness and positivity, creating a calm environment in any room.”

Time-honored dwellings and found pieces are the kinds of things that make Heather Chadduck Hillegas’s heart sing. “I love historic homes, and I always want to save what is there and honor its past,” the Birmingham, Alabama-based designer says.

Modern Masculinity
Designer Casey Sarkin helps bring warm tones and organic elements to a father’s family home
For a father building his forever home in Fayetteville, interior designer Casey Sarkin says the goal was to infuse the space with warm neutrals and natural textures to create a lasting legacy. “He wanted to build a family home where his kids could come; a lifetime house that would eventually welcome his grandkids as well,” Casey says. “The overall vibe needed to be transitionally modern and masculine, yet family-oriented and comfortable.”

Building History: Low’s Bridal
Low’s Bridal: Also known as The Rusher Hotel and The Great Southern Hotel
Every year, more than 3,000 brides-to-be descend upon Low’s Bridal in Brinkley, Arkansas, to pick out the dress they’ll wear on their big day. Now a city with a population of 2,700, it might seem surprising that this is the setting of the 25,000-square-foot store that has become a mecca for boutique bridal looks. However, given the history of the building—and the city—it’s not quite a mystery how this came to be.
