After completing the interiors (featured in the October 2023 issue of At Home in Arkansas), it seemed almost reflexive for him to turn his attention to the outdoors, a space that existed in the form of a bare country lawn when he signed the deed. “The idea for azaleas progressed to a cutting garden, and now here we are,” he says with a laugh.

Having lived in eight different houses, you could say Mimi and Jim Hugg have a knack for homes. “Each time we moved, we got a better understanding of what we wanted in an outdoor space,” Jim says. After purchasing this 1970 home, they embarked on a renovation of both the interior (featured in the May 2023 issue of At Home in Arkansas) and exterior. Their wish list for the outdoors included a covered porch, pool area, a terrace off the primary bedroom, and features that would make the majority of the spaces usable year-round. “We wanted a house that would allow us to get outside easily,” Jim says. “The idea of an inside-outside aesthetic is so appealing to us.”
