Color Family

Inspired by the homeowner’s love of pink and blue, designer Laure Antonetti Schutze creates a home brimming with pattern and personality

After spending years commuting from west Little Rock to downtown for both work and school, Elizabeth and Scott Poynter knew a move closer to the city center made sense. They began looking at homes in the Heights neighborhood and, upon walking into this house, they knew it was the one. “This house is totally different from our last one,” Elizabeth says of the 1930s abode. “I loved how the floors creaked and that the outside had this charming, inviting cottage look, but inside it had plenty of space for our family.” As the co-owner of Fayetteville’s recently opened women’s boutique, Blythe, Elizabeth loves fashion. Her eye for style carries into other areas of her life, which allowed her to envision the home’s formerly monochromatic rooms coming to life.

Staying Power

In Northwest Arkansas, a family home infused with current style comes to life with the help of designer Casey Sarkin

Warm, comfortable, and polished: That is how Casey Sarkin describes this family of five’s Fayetteville home. After her first meeting with the clients, the designer saw right away they had several priorities. First, they knew their new home needed to be as functional for their three kids as it would be for them. Second, they wanted every detail to reflect personality and style.

Naturally Sweet

Designer Heather Krijt creates a sweet and sophisticated nursery for her daughter

When Heather and Arnoud Krijt built their five-bedroom home in Little Rock (featured in our April 2020 issue), there was one room they intentionally didn’t finish before move-in day. “We always knew this would be the nursery, and were hopeful to start a family soon after we got married and moved here,” Heather says. As the owner of HK Designs, she had several ideas in mind for the space when the couple found out they would welcome a baby girl, Charlotte, at the end of 2020.

New in Blue

In Little Rock, designer Jonathan Parkey creates a nursery that checks all the boxes

When longtime friend and client Meredith Causey told Jonathan Parkey, owner of J. Parkey, she wanted to convert her master closet into a sitting room, he knew something was up. A couple of weeks later, she confessed the room actually needed to become a nursery, as she and her husband, Chad, were expecting their third child. “We wanted to stay upstairs with our kids in this stage but there were no other bedrooms,” Meredith explains. The spacious closet, which is connected to the master bedroom, offered a solution. Jonathan knew he needed to get rolling on the project to meet baby boy Miller’s arrival date.

Life on the Water

by

Pam and John Morton create a timeless retreat on the shores of Greers Ferry Lake

Greers Ferry Lake has always been a special place for Pam and John Morton. “John grew up in nearby Higden, and we have played on this lake together for 37 years,” Pam says. It was during their early years of marriage when they happened upon a peninsula with uncleared lots. Situated on the edge of town as well as the edge of the water, they were taken with the location. “John’s uncle was able to tell us a man from California owned the property. We tracked him down, and he said he wasn’t interested in selling; but two weeks later he called back, and the rest is history.” In 1998, the couple built what was then their primary residence on the pristine lots.

Family Escape

by

Following family tradition, Rachel and Buddy Harding create a Lake Ouachita getaway perfectly suited for generations of gatherings

For Rachel Harding, a trip to the lake is about more than getting away. Having spent time growing up on Lake Ouachita at her father’s cabin—affectionately dubbed Parker Pointe, after his surname—she dreamed of having a place of her own one day. “Some of my most cherished childhood memories were coming out here,” she says. “There was no city water, so you were literally washing your hair off the back of the boat. There were no phones, no televisions here; we would just play games and be with family. It is a place I’ve always felt so connected to and happy about.”

Water Colors

Inspired by the view, shades of blue and white fill this recently completed waterfront home

Waterfront homes have always been popular for their ability to offer an escape, and that was never more prized than last year when travel was limited. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that as 2020 played out, the owners of this newly built Hot Springs home on Lake Hamilton were looking for a getaway close to home—and fast. To make it happen, they turned to local design professionals Debi Davis of Debi Davis Interior Design and builder Doug Rodgers of Carriage Custom Homes.

Elements of Style

MLH Designs helps a nature-loving couple design a contemporary dream home on the banks of the Arkansas River

Look around the home of Catherine and Dr. John Sims in North Little Rock and you’ll notice nods to nature everywhere. The biggest, of course, is the view outside of the Arkansas River. In fact, seeing this lot in the city’s Rockwater community was one of the couple’s biggest motivators to build rather than buy when relocating from Manhattan back to their home state. “We were moving from the city, and a home in the suburbs just didn’t feel right,” Catherine says. With its proximity to Argenta and downtown Little Rock as well as trails and a view of the river, this location hit the perfect balance of city living and natural appeal.

A Perfect Blend

by

A Little Rock couple turns to B. Interiors and Richard Harp Homes to build a custom home perfectly suited to both their tastes

When Catherine Young and her husband, Dan, became engaged, one question loomed large: Where would they live? At the time, she had a home in west Little Rock while Dan was in a Heights house he had purchased almost two decades prior. After considering his fondness for his neighborhood and her desire to be within walking distance of shops and restaurants, they decided to combine their lives at Dan’s—but not in that exact house. To get the updates and square footage they wanted, they knew it would be best to start from scratch. “Dan also really wanted something that was ours,” Catherine says of the desire to build.
