Valentine’s Day Soirée: Wine, cheese, and fondue set the scene for a laidback couples gathering

For the final installment of her yearlong party idea series with At Home in Arkansas, Little Rock designer Tobi Fairley invites us into her dining room for a Valentine’s Day get-together. Fittingly, the room is adorned in pink while red roses, berries, and wine fill the table, a color combo ideal for the holiday. “I wanted this couples dinner to be a little dramatic yet romantic. When I think of Valentine’s Day, I think roses and diamonds, and more of a luxe occasion,” the designer says. Read on to see how she created a small gathering that seems to invite guests to linger over both food and conversation.

Michelle Trumbo dreamt of looking out her windows to a distant view of the White River and its woodlands.

Founded in 2011 by Sally Mengal, Little Rock’s Loblolly Creamery has grown steadily over the years. While its first residence was in The Green Corner Store on South Main Street, the brand soon opened an ice cream truck available for special events, and then, in 2017, set down some more permanent roots with the opening of a Scoop Shop at 1423 S. Main St. According to creative director Christen Byrd, that addition has allowed the brand to extend their hours, expand their flavor offerings (they have about 30 options available at any given time), serve coffee and beer, and even rent out a party room. “It’s allowed us to grow like crazy, and we love it,” Christen says.

Jeremy Carter uses fresh holiday décor to highlight the traditional, collected aspects of a family home

When Amanda and Trey Groce moved into their current home in Little Rock’s Heights neighborhood, it was a one-story, 1,940-square foot cottage. That suited them just fine for the first several years. However, when they found out they were expecting their second child, they started to think more long-term. The family had grown attached to their street, so rather than look for the right-sized house somewhere else, they decided to renovate.

Designer Christina Gore extends her home’s interior style to the back porch for a festive holiday scene

Designer Christina Gore describes her and her husband Sean’s style as “rustic glam,” an unexpected combination of glittering metals and natural elements. “I’m a little more glam; Sean would live in a log cabin if he could,” she laughs. “A lot of our home is a complete mix of the two of us and these styles. I think you can really see us in all the elements,” she adds.

Tobi Fairley invites us into her kitchen for one of her favorite holiday traditions

Hosting a mother/daughter party is one of designer Tobi Fairley’s favorite holiday traditions. She and her daughter, Ellison, enjoy inviting Ellison’s classmates and their moms to their home—whether it’s for an ornament exchange or, this year, for a cookie swap. “I love a reason to get her friends together,” Tobi says, “and I also love to bake, so this is a perfect holiday party in my book.”
