Finding Escalapia

August 29, 2019 by Tiffany Adams

Paige and Ryan Ray’s new construction home is a modern take on the lakeside cabin

High above the waterline in an inlet of Beaver Lake is Paige Ray’s home, a place she has christened “Escalapia.” She credits her husband, Ryan, with introducing her to the word. “Escalapia was the name of one of the hill communities that existed outside of Rogers long before the lake existed,” Paige explains. Finding that the mystical-sounding word perfectly captured the eclectic feel she wanted her home to convey, she adopted it as the name of the house, an organic, open space filled with art and vintage finds that the two share with their 4-year-old son, Sam. …

Tones of Home

A mix of woods paired with a neutral palette create a timeless backdrop in the kitchen and bath of this Heights family home

Not everyone is lucky enough to start a home design project with an end result in mind. Sayward and Bryant Smith were an exception to the norm, and by the time they started working with designer Jill White, they already had numerous Pinterest boards to share. “Sayward’s a nurse, so she does a lot of dictating information all day and writing things down. And Bryant is a numbers guy,” Jill says. “They’re both really organized, and at our first meeting, they already had binders of ideas.”…

Designer Kimberly Harper uses a harmonious palette and unexpected elements to punch up the style in a Northwest Arkansas kitchen and bath

After deciding to renovate, the owners of this Fayetteville home called on Kimberly Harper of Harper Howey Interiors to pull together a cohesive design that also suited their personal tastes. “We ended up with a black-and-white theme in much of the house,” Kimberly says. “A black-and-white marble tile greets guests in the foyer, and we loved it so much, we decided to carry that pairing through to other rooms.”…

The Second Act

With the help of Restructure Design, a Hot Springs Village couple reinvents the kitchen and master bath of a beloved family home

When Stephanie Noblett’s parents built their home in 1997, she had no idea she and her husband, Fred, would retire in the same house 20 years later. “We knew my parents were getting ready to downsize, but we hadn’t thought of their home as a retirement option for us,” she says. The Nobletts, who have lived in nearly a dozen different cities around the U.S., did their due diligence in searching for their ideal retirement locale, and they ended up falling in love with the charm of Hot Springs Village. “Arkansas is truly a hidden gem. We feel so blessed to be in a place with amazing people and such beauty. I feel like I’ve come full circle,” Stephanie says.…

Vintage-inspired details shine in this Little Rock cottage’s master bath

An admiration for marble was the starting point for designer Kathryn LeMaster when she began renovating the master bath of Cindi and Dr. Randy Maddox’s 1930s cottage. “Cindi and I both love all the marble in the Hot Springs bathhouses,” the designer notes of their inspiration. After two home remodel phases over the span of a couple of years, this space, which was in need of both style and functional updates, was the final renovation. While desiring to have an authentic “spa” feel, Kathryn wanted to honor the era of the cottage through her design by “taking material cues from other areas of the home to create a holistic feel.” Likewise, Cindi wished to incorporate elements of Hollywood Regency, “that fabulously glitzy era from the ’20s to the ’50s,” she says. …

Architect Carolyn Lindsey and designer Brittany Nixon Brun reconfigure a Little Rock kitchen, adding modern amenities without compromising character

Moving from Austin, Texas, to Little Rock, the owners of this house fell in love with its 1920s Tudor-style charm; however, its kitchen left something to be desired. “The original kitchen was a traditional servant space located in a remote corner of the house,” architect Carolyn Lindsey explains. Comprised of a configuration of rooms, including a butler’s pantry, walk-in pantry, and the small kitchen, the space was choppy, lacked an eating or lounge area, and had limited traffic flow….

Repairs from a leak led to a full-scale renovation that suits this Little Rock couple’s style and needs

A work by local artist Lauren Meredith hangs near the tub. “Carol loves her art and has other pieces from her throughout the house,” Leigh says.

When Carol and Mike Hulse discovered they had a leak in their home’s master bath, their first call was to Ray Lusk Plumbing. Little did they know the hard-to-detect leak—which they discovered was coming from the shower unit—would lead to a complete remodel with designer Leigh Lusk….

A newly married couple opts for a master bath renovation rather than a big wedding

“My husband bought this house in 2014, did some remodeling, and moved in the following year,” says one of the owners of this Hot Springs Village home. Not long after he moved in, he met his now wife. “We were getting married, and I didn’t want another wedding so we said let’s spend the money on our bathroom—the one place that hadn’t been renovated—and we can enjoy it every day,” she says….

Kathryn LeMaster helps a family of four set the tone for their DIY dream kitchen

When Rachel and Parker Woodroof moved from the Pacific Northwest to Arkansas in 2016, they immediately got to work renovating their 1995 ranch-style home. “Moving from Tacoma, Washington, we knew we needed light and we need as much of it as we could get,” Rachel laughs. Other than that, they weren’t sure where to start. “We’d just moved in and we knew the look that we wanted, it was just a really awkward lot,” she says. “We wanted the floor plan to be open and weren’t sure the best way to do that….

Urban Influence

Inspired by the family’s former Chicago loft, Massimo Interior Design transforms a traditional kitchen and master bath to suit a modern family

The couple and designers all agreed this kitchen called for a light fixture that would make a statement. Leslie found this airy, spherical pendant made of wool yarn and epoxy, which also helps to balance out the heavier materials in the room.

Relocating from a loft in Chicago to Little Rock to be closer to family, you might expect Leslie and Charley Parnell would look for a place downtown, something similar to their last residence. However, after 25 years in the city, they were excited to offer their son, Jackson, something he’d never had before—a backyard.

“We lived right downtown, and it was hard to have a place for him to ride a bike,” Leslie explains. When she and her mother first walked into this house, she immediately saw past its traditional, walled-in layout to a house they could soon call home. “The second time I saw this house, I had my designer and contractor come to make sure that what we wanted to do, we could do,” Leslie says. “What we could do in the kitchen and bathroom would make or break the decision to buy the house.”…
