Minimal design and repurposed pieces go hand-in-hand in Stephanie and Zack Smith’s new construction home

When Stephanie and Zack Smith started thinking about building their fourth home together, they had their eye on a certain piece of property down the road from where they were currently living. “It’s wooded and really pretty, and we could just see the way the lot would flow,” Stephanie recalls. “We left as many trees as we could for privacy, and then we decided to build a cottage-style house, which seems suited to the woods.”

A mix of styles—both architectural and interior—create a harmonious blend in a west Little Rock family home

When Talena Ray and Mona Thompson, owners of Providence Design, first met their clients, the west Little Rock lot where the family of four now lives looked very different—and even the vision for it wasn’t as clear-cut as it appears today. “They had been working with architect Jim Yeary on a plan, but the husband leaned more contemporary while the wife really liked a more traditional style,” Mona says. The designers shared their recommendations for the project, and the couple ultimately decided to wait a year before breaking ground. “After some time passed, we were all on the same page that this was going to be a contemporary house but with traditional features and furnishings,” Mona says.

Jeremy Carter brings a thoughtful mix of new and old to the renovation of his historic downtown Little Rock residence

When designer Jeremy Carter decided to buy a house in downtown Little Rock, he first had his eye on the Villa Marre. “I have always wanted to live there, ever since I was a little boy and watched Designing Women,” he says. “It came up for sale, and I almost did it. But there are so many restrictions with it being a historic property—you can’t paint the woodwork, you can’t change out the lighting. I was like, I’m a decorator! I’m not going to live with someone else’s things,” he laughs.

Jill Lawrence updates her home’s master bedroom and bath with new configurations, neutral hues, and an abundance of texture

Sixteen years ago, designer Jill Lawrence and her husband, Frank, moved into a charming family home in the heart of Little Rock. And, as Jill puts it, life happened. “When we first moved in we did some remodeling downstairs and painted everything, and then, you know, kids and life and everything happens and you realize you’ve been in the house for 15 years. The master bedroom needed to be redone when we moved in,” she laughs. “It’s also a good checkpoint as a designer to do your own project because you realize the stress your clients are going through—having people in your house, having everything picked out and ready to go, and the unforeseen expenses,” she adds.

Stuart Thalheimer Davis of Cobblestone & Vine helps a young family renovate a Heights house to meet their needs and match their style

“It had really good bones, it just needed some love,” designer Stuart Thalheimer Davis says of the 1920s Heights cottage she helped homeowners Margaret and Jake King renovate. Jake puts it a little more bluntly. “It was not inhabitable,” he laughs. Luckily, both he and his wife have a passion for houses—he’s a home inspector and owner of Vantage Point Inspections while Margaret is a real estate agent with her family-owned business, The Janet Jones Company. “Since we both go into houses every day as a part of our jobs, we knew what we wanted,” Margaret says. Attracted to a location within walking distance of Margaret’s family, they set to work drawing up plans to turn the fixer-upper into their dream home.

In Northwest Arkansas, designer Melissa Haynes helps a family create a high-style, high-functioning home

When Lauren and Alex Blass learned they were expecting their first child, they put in a call to designer Melissa Haynes to help them plan a sweet nursery for their baby boy. However, as items began to arrive and the installation date neared, they called her back to say they were having second thoughts—not about the nursery design, but about their home. “They lived in a newlywed home in Fayetteville, and the closer it came to time for the baby to born, they felt they needed to be nearer to their offices and in a larger family home,” Melissa explains.
