Holiday Charm
A palette of red, gold, and green mixed with meaningful seasonal accents enliven a Little Rock family home at Christmas
Spend a few minutes with designer Krista Lewis and you’ll know just why the West Little Rock home she shares with her husband Dan and their three young children overflows with life and holiday spirit. Whether she’s working on a client’s renovation or freshening her own home for guests, Lewis is relaxed, welcoming, and ready for a challenge. Much like Lewis herself, her two-story home appears to bustle with its own sense of merriment; from the traditional red-and-green Christmas décor to the flurry of family-centered holiday activities, every wall is alive with the spirit of the season.

A Sportsman’s Paradise
Screaming Wings Lodge—the duck-season outpost of Witt Stephens Jr.—maximizes comfort and experience for guests and provides access to world-class waterfowl hunting
In 2008, longtime-client Witt Stephens Jr. charged interior designer Bill Beringer with the task of making of his imposing new hunting lodge a well-appointed, private retreat versatile enough to accommodate groups of all sizes and to foster a sense of intimacy and relaxation among visitors. From the outset, the owner had specific ideas about how the lodge would function and how it would look; “Ultimately,” Beringer says, “we wanted it to reflect him. He’s an avid hunter, but he’s also a businessman who needs an inviting place to entertain.”

A Colorful Family Home
A family of eight—yes, eight!—called on designer Tobi Fairley to use her signature bold palettes and tailored style to transform a cramped cottage into an accommodating home full of bright ideas
As a family grows and changes, so should the family home. When a recently married couple with a combined total of six children was ready to bring everyone under one roof, finding a house that suited their complex needs was a challenge. The couple called on friend and Little Rock-based designer Tobi Fairley to turn a small cottage on a quiet street into a hard-working (and spacious!) family home. “The house wasn’t large enough and definitely didn’t suit their needs, but it is often better to address a home’s challenges than to start with a blank slate,” says Fairley of the family’s decision to renovate rather than build a home.
Fairley and her team worked with Carolyn Lindsey of Yeary Lindsey Architects to open the kitchen into a large family room and add a new master suite, office, powder room, and utility space. Upstairs, they reclaimed the under-used attic for living spaces, installing dormers to add square footage and maximizing personalized storage wherever possible. The result is a study in creating an ideal space for a family of any size.

Storied antiques and old world-inspired furnishings blend with timeless design elements in a new home for the perfect marriage between past and present
When homeowners Donna and Jim Bottin decided to move to West Little Rock to be closer to family, they thought they knew what they wanted. “The plan was to do an open-concept house, similar to what we had before,” says Donna. “But we wanted it to be a little more intimate and cozier,” she adds.

Serene in the City
A view of the Arkansas River and its woodlands encourage a Little Rock couple to renovate a home to fit their needs
Looking to bring a sense of calm to their routine, a Little Rock couple set out to find a new home where they could spread out a bit, relax and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Hoping for a river view, their options were limited. When a classically styled house on a quiet street came available, they knew that with a little imagination—and help from a trusted team of experts—they could transform it to suit their needs perfectly.
At first glance, the home wasn’t exactly dream-worthy. In fact, it was just the opposite of what this couple had in mind. But the red brick Georgian-style house did have a few things going for it; namely, a view of the Arkansas River and beyond. Inside, a small galley kitchen, dark hallways, and low ceilings didn’t suit the couple’s taste or lifestyle, so they called on architect Tom Fennell and designer Bill Beringer to bring the space to life.
