Interior designer Tami Risinger’s period perfect renovation of this 1950s Fort Smith home reveals the comfortable elegance of simplicity
If you lived through the post-World War II boom era—or if you’ve watched even a few episodes of the hit HBO series Mad Men—chances are that words like “calm” and “relaxing” are not the first moods that spring to mind when you think about the culture or aesthetic of that time. But interior designers and architects of the period urged homeowners to eschew elaborate ornamentation in favor of clean lines, expansive floor plans, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces: beauty and function, without all the “fluff.” That’s why, when Michael Morton called on designer Tami Risinger to put her signature, clean-and-classic spin on his mid-century, ranch-style home, she knew she could deliver. “I have done many commercial projects with [Michael], and I was excited to help him with his home.

Inspired by their Turkish heritage, a young family turns to architects Jeff Horton and Jennifer Herron and interior designer Meridith Hamilton Ranouil to create a modern home that reminds them of their past and gives them plenty of space to grow in the future
Whether you move twenty miles down the road or around the globe, leaving a place doesn’t mean that the place—or its influence—leaves you. Dr. Emre Vural and his wife, Zeynep, found this to be just the case when they started planning for a new-construction home in Little Rock. “We are from Turkey and in the urban areas—particularly Istanbul—there’s a more contemporary design style; it’s very much modern,” Zeynep says. With the influence of these areas and their structures in mind, the Vurals looked to create a home for their family that would bring a bit of Turkey to Arkansas.

A century-old Conway home maintains its unique charm as it is renovated to meet the needs of a creative family of four
What do portrait photography and home building have in common? A lot, according to Lance Johnston, who engages in both pursuits with a spirit of passion and innovation. He, his wife Melissa, and their daughters Mary Dean (15) and Anne Ryan (13) live in a 1907 Queen Anne farmhouse right in the heart of Conway that Johnston has transformed into a timeless treasure. As a licensed contractor with a new building business called Reform Design + Build—a partnership with his friend Michael Harrison—Johnston sees the connections between his two professions clearly: “The philosophy behind the design + build business is exactly the same as the photography business—to create new-classic work that people will enjoy for generations.”
