When Tracy Rhodes and her family moved into their newly constructed West Little Rock home in 2011, she knew there was one area that wasn’t quite complete. “We had plenty of space in the backyard, and we thought that when our girls were older and were strong swimmers we would want to put in a pool,” Tracy says.

A chic yet efficient workspace gives equal weight to the homeowner’s style and passion
When Stuart Thalheimer Davis started working on this home office for client Amanda Patterson, she says that the space was, for the most part, a blank slate. “She had a temporary desk, a chair that needed recovering, a ton of empty bookshelves, and a timeline,” Davis says, noting that they completed the room in less than a month. “Luckily, Amanda had a clear idea of what she wanted in the space.
