Designer Kricia Palmer gives her personal primary bath a well-deserved glow-up


After seven years in their Roland home, the time was finally right for Kricia Palmer and her husband, Jon, to update their primary bathroom. The house was built in 2007 with some of the period’s usual hallmarks: travertine tile floor, dark antique bronze fixtures, and warm lighting. “It just felt drab,” Kricia says. “I focus a lot on how I feel in different spaces, and I wanted to be able to pick out clothes, put on makeup, and get ready in a space that felt luxurious and relatively timeless.”…

Designer Kathryn LeMaster helps a Fayetteville kitchen reach its full potential

While it can be tempting to remodel immediately after moving into a new house, sometimes the best results come after living in a place for a while first. Such was the case with designer Kathryn LeMaster’s clients in Fayetteville, a young family in need of a kitchen remodel. “They had been in the house for about four years,” Kathryn says, noting that the time they spent living in the space helped them determine a list of priorities: new flooring, better flow, lighter style, and more personality. “The before was dark and dysfunctional, and the cabinets felt worn from previous owners,” the designer says….

State of Inspiration: Holly Tilley

by

Light bounces off the scarlet skin of a trio of apples in a still-life painting called “Beach Ready.” Maybe it’s the surf suggested by the painting’s title or the sand-colored backdrop, but one gets the sense the fruit is laid out on a blue-and-white beach towel somewhere warm, basking in the sun. This is due, no doubt, to the practiced hand of the artist, Holly Tilley….

Interior Designer Sha Davari brings relaxed sophistication to a couple’s new home on Lake Hamilton

On Lake Hamilton, a newly built house caught the attention of a couple who had always dreamed of a place on the water. They originally purchased a home to renovate when they found a move-in ready new build by Carriage Custom Homes and decided to change course. “The home was almost finished when they saw it for the first time, and that’s why this house really worked for them,” says interior designer Sha Davari, whom the couple called upon to furnish and personalize the lake house. “They really liked the finishes and details in it, so it didn’t require a lot of remodeling.”…

In her family’s Beaver Lake home, interior designer Casey Sarkin mixes antique and modern elements to create a year-round retreat

For interior designer Casey Sarkin, finding the right lake house for her family has been many years in the making. “We’ve been looking for a lake house for the past 10 to 15 years,” Casey says. “We were always looking for that little cabin house that we could re-do, but there aren’t that many of those. We would get involved and look, then not find anything and stop. Then we’d go back and do it again.”…

A Little Rock family turns to Better Lawns & Gardens to create an all-weather retreat


While the owners of this west Little Rock residence had spent years creating a home they love, their focus had always been on the interiors. Recently, they decided to turn their attention to the backyard. “Our yard was sloped and didn’t have a great flat area,” the owner recalls. “It was pretty but never really functional.” Additionally, as their two sons got older, they saw the boys wanted a bit more independence and separation, especially when friends visited. The pair began to dream about a backyard pavilion that could offer a solution in both cases….
