With dedicated zones for cooking, dining, swimming, and relaxing, this central Arkansas backyard maximizes the homeowners’ downtime
Nestled in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains along Lake Maumelle sits a contemporary farmhouse with a backyard retreat built with one thing in mind: the view. “The views here are spectacular, and the owners wanted to capture the dramatic landscape down to the lake and across to the rolling hills,” says interior designer Kim Brockinton of Kim Brockinton Interiors. Working with contractor Bill Parkinson and waterscape designer and landscape architect Jason Brownlee, Kim was able to help her clients, who are also longtime friends, create a space where both they and their two children could entertain friends throughout much of the year.

Step Right Out
Better Lawns & Gardens maximizes space in a Little Rock backyard to create an escape for the owners
When David Munsey, III, general manager of central Arkansas’s Better Lawns & Gardens, first saw Martha and Dr. Vent Murphy’s backyard it was nearly a blank slate. “When you walked out their back door, there was a patio and several flower beds, and that was basically it,” he recalls. The Murphys, who enjoy entertaining and spending time outdoors, wanted to open up the space and make it more usable. Working with David as well as Tobi Fairley of Tobi Fairley Interior Design (who also designed the interior of their home), they were able to create spaces for grilling, gathering, and downtime.
To create these areas, brick pavers were extended to connect the grill area to a dining space and provide room for a table. A cooking station, complete with a granite countertop and storage space under the stainless grill, gives the Murphys the opportunity to prepare and serve multiple dishes outdoors. Along the back hedge, David designed a curved fireplace and hearth area that fits neatly into a corner and offers a destination for relaxing by the fire or watching television. Traditional furnishings complement both the landscape as well as the home’s interior. “This was a fairly simple project, but it made a huge impact and allows them to really enjoy their outdoor space now,” David says.

Designer Georg Andersen finds inspiration in a favorite period of French design for a Northwest Arkansas living room upgrade
With geometric patterns, metallic finishes, and an air of drama, Elizabeth Hardwick and David Mee’s formal living room would have been right at home in 1930s Paris. That’s thanks to designer Georg Andersen, who transformed the previously dark, outdated space into a glamorous sitting room for his clients. “My inspiration for this space was minimalist French Art Deco,” Georg says. “Someone I’ve always admired is foremost French designer Jean-Michel Frank, and there’s a lot of his influence in this room.”

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.”
