Among the Treetops

Contemporary architecture and comfortable furnishings blend to make both husband and wife feel at home in this west Little Rock residence


Like many young boys, Dr. Andy Henry had a lifelong dream of living in a tree house. “I started med school in Little Rock in 1979 and finished training in ’85. At some point in that time, I came out to this area and said, I want to live here someday,” he recalls. “Eventually, I found the person who owned the land, bought it, and got my friend from church, Fred Lord, to take a hike with me to see if we could build a house here. He said, ‘I can do it. It won’t be easy, but I can do it,’” Dr. Henry says.

Creative Departure

Designer Casey Sarkin helps a longtime friend push the boundaries of her personal style in a new construction Northwest Arkansas home


For decades, the owners of this home in Northwest Arkansas had their eye on the lot where they would eventually build. However, in all that time, there was always one small problem: It was never for sale. “We’d been driving up here since we were about 29 years old,” the homeowner says. “We’ve always loved this lot, but the people who owned it didn’t want to sell it. One day, we drove by and there was a ‘for sale’ sign nailed to the tree. We bought it that day,” she says.

Bear Hill Interiors helps a Little Rock couple freshen their 1920s home with a youthful palette and contemporary accessories


Julie Sloan hadn’t intended to hire a designer when she visited Bear Hill Interiors. However, after talking with William Lendermon and the store’s owner, Kevin Walsh, she had them over the next day to measure for drapes in the living room of the 1920s Little Rock home she shares with her husband, Walker. Drapes turned into furniture placement, which turned into adding a few new pieces, which led to accessories, rugs, and art. “We did one thing at a time, and they never made me feel rushed,” Julie says. “They really helped me prioritize what I needed to do next. And, I saved money because I wasn’t making mistakes by trying to do it on my own.”

A Garden for All Seasons

On the banks of the Little Red River, Kay Kelley Arnold invites guests to savor the beauty of a year-round garden


Upon driving up to Kay Kelley Arnold’s Heber Springs getaway, one might assume the landscape is the result of decades of work. The property, which includes a spacious fenced-in garden and greenhouse situated alongside the driveway as well as a pavilion and screened-in sleeping porch overlooking the Little Red River at the back of the site, is bathed in shades of green accented with seasonal color—or lack thereof, depending on the time of year you visit.

Bold Collab

by

Designers Andrea Brooks and Ashley Cardiel team up to push the boundaries in a redesign of Brooks’s Fayetteville home


When El Dorado designer Andrea Brooks started looking for a place to call home in Northwest Arkansas, she didn’t envision taking on a large-scale project. “We were really looking at townhouses and condos, something more for going to visit,” Andrea explains, noting that she has one son at the University of Arkansas and one headed there next fall; plus, her mom and sister live in the area, as well. “After looking at a number of options that just didn’t feel right, my sister found a listing that had been under contract but was going back on the market the next day. As soon as I walked in the house the next morning, I said, ‘This is my house!’”

A Christmas Classic

by

Jeremy Carter uses fresh holiday décor to highlight the traditional, collected aspects of a family home


When Amanda and Trey Groce moved into their current home in Little Rock’s Heights neighborhood, it was a one-story, 1,940-square foot cottage. That suited them just fine for the first several years. However, when they found out they were expecting their second child, they started to think more long-term. The family had grown attached to their street, so rather than look for the right-sized house somewhere else, they decided to renovate.
