This well-qualified group of professionals represents a variety of trades (interior design,
architecture, landscaping), and each brought his or her particular expertise to what ended up
being many hours of lively discussion on the merits of the projects submitted.
They evaluated every entry on its functionality, originality, aesthetics and details, and often the
entire group agreed on the overall design strengths of a particular project. In one case, we ended
up with a tie—our point system for awarding a winner resulted in two projects scoring identically
in the Best New Construction category. Our highly democratic panel opted to split the award,
highlighting one for its architectural elegance and another for its design details.
As we compiled our roster of winners, we were pleased to see they represented not only a mix of
styles, from traditional to transitional to modern, but also a cross-section of the state. Your entries
confirmed that design continues to thrive throughout Arkansas, and we thank everyone who
entered for sharing your heart-felt stories, design challenges and triumphs, and well-loved homes
with us. We hope you enjoy seeing the winning results.

APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE!Arkansans take center stage in national awards
Brashears Furniture awarded Retailer of the Year 2010
Brashears Furniture was recently named by the National Home Furnishings Association as Retailer of the Year 2010 in the category of annual sales of $10 million or less. The award, signified by a Baccarat crystal obelisk, is the highest honor the association can bestow on a member and was presented to owners Doug and Susan Brashears at a gala ceremony during this spring’s High Point Market.
Brashears is a third-generation, family-owned business that has been serving customers in the Ozarks since 1935. The main showroom is in Berryville with additional showrooms in Branson, Missouri, and Springdale. The award is based on the business’ contributions to the industry, community service, achievements and company leadership. www.brashears.com
Little Rock-based interior designer Kaki Hockersmith, ASID, renowned for her redesign of key rooms in the White House and Camp David during the Clinton administration and her recreation of the Oval Office and Cabinet Room in the William J. Clinton Presidential Library, has been appointed to the President’s Advisory Committee on the Arts for The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Hockersmith, whose full-service design firm works on residential and commercial projects throughout the country, will serve as a national ambassador for The Kennedy Center and help bring the Center’s extensive resources and educational programs to Arkansas. She received her official appointment during a late spring swearing-in ceremony and has already begun bringing Kennedy Center performances to the state, including a theatrical production scheduled for next April at Little Rock’s Wildwood Park for the Performing Arts. www.kennedy-center.org

It’s not simply the quilts that North Little Rock collector
Jan Smith loves. It’s the stories behind them as well. Hand
stitching and unique patterns are a reminder that each is a
personal expression of the woman who made it. Dating back
to the late 1800s and early 1900s, each also says something
about the time in which it was made. “I can just imagine a
woman sitting down and working on one of my quilts after
a long day of chores,” Jan says. “They didn’t believe in idle
hands back then.”
Before television or radio, quilting bees served as a popular
social outlet. Friends and neighbors would gather to compete
against one another to finish a quilt or to join forces and
complete it together, the purpose being to socialize and have
fun while being productive and saving time.
Quilting bees were also an opportunity to exchange
decorative quilt blocks, likely scraps from clothing, feed
sacks, or any other fabric they could find. After piecing the
blocks together in a desired pattern, the next step was to add
cotton batting as a filling for warmth between the decorative
blocks and a single backing layer. All three layers were then
stitched together, which is the actual quilting process.

“Quilting was a way to put your efforts
into something that you could benefit from
later on.”—Jan Smith
www.athomearkansas.com 21
Many times, quilts were used to commemorate a special
event. One in Jan’s collection, found with a hand-written note
pinned on, was made as a wedding gift from a mother to a
daughter in 1867 and passed down through the generations.
On another one, each patch of fabric features a woman’s
name—such as Betsey Oates and Pearl Harvey—embroidered
as a personalized gift from a close-knit group of friends.
Yet another style, popular in the Victorian era, was “crazy
quilting,” Jan explains. Rather than symmetrical patterns,
women pieced together triangles and oddly shaped pieces of
fabric. Made from velvet, brocade and often silk, these styles
are rare today because they tend to rapidly deteriorate.
Jan, who began her collection nearly 30 years ago, now
has more than a dozen to her name, and in a wide variety
of styles. One of her favorites was a gift from her thoughtful
husband while they were still dating—a pale blue and yellow
version that cost a steep $200 in the early 1980s. “I remember
being so excited,” laughs Jan. Because price was a factor, she
usually purchased lower-priced quilts for herself.
Fond of the collection she’s acquired, Jan displays them
proudly. Hanging on the wall as art or folded at the foot of a
bed, they’ve always served a purpose in her home, just as their
makers intended. “Quilting was a way to put your efforts into
something that you could benefi t from later on,” Jan says,
“and for a really long time.”

THE GOAL:
Transform their outdated master bathroom into a functional
and relaxing retreat. “It had a small shower, country blue
whirlpool tub and the original plush carpet,” Anita says.
“Our goal was to make it not only a sanctuary for evenings,
but also an enjoyable place for getting ready in the morning.”

WHAT THEY DID: Reconfigured the bathroom with form
and function in mind, plus contemporary styling.
The couple began by making better use of wasted space.
They added a large enclosed shower with tiled walls plus
benches and shelves in place of the original shower and the
narrow walkway that was adjacent to it. They also removed
a built-in makeup counter and intrusive closet door that
swung into the room, making space for a second sink and
vanity, as well as much-needed storage. Next, they replaced
the old carpet with tile, and used recessed lighting to
brighten the formerly dim room.
For a spa-like touch, the Sipes upgraded the original tub
with a whirlpool bath featuring chromotherapy lighting for
relaxation. A flat screen television was also installed. “My
husband insisted on the flat screen,” laughs Anita, “but I
actually use it more than he does.” Adding a cultured stone
wall made the spa area the focal point of the room.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Starting from scratch. “It was
completely outdated,” Anita remembers. “As a master bath,
the functionality just was not there.”
THEIR FAVORITE PART: Working together to achieve
a unified look that suits both of their styles, and then
seeing the design come to life. “It was fun inserting our
personalities,” Anita explains. “The floating vanities and tile
are Brent; the beachy look of the glass shower door and art
is me; and the stone wall reflects both of us,” Anita explains.
WHAT THE JUDGES LOVED: Sandy Sutton liked the
natural feel of the textured stone wall, as well as the
cabinetry. Tobi Fairley was drawn to the choice of
countertops and flooring. For Beth Davis, it was the overall
cohesiveness of the design in creating a soothing, spa-like
look.

“I love that the design brings us all together.”
—Leslie Bailey
A dining area adjacent to the kitchen features a built-in banquette with ample seating for the family of five. Facing page: Cabinets for glassware plus a nearby wet bar sink allow guests to help themselves without intruding in the kitchen work zone. Behind the range, an iridescent mosaic tile backsplash contains a niche for cooking needs.
www.athomearkansas.com 35
WHAT THEY DID: The Baileys brought kitchen designer
Susan Latta into the project at the blueprint stage—a
critical element, says Latta, in ensuring that “the
homeowners, builder and construction team have the same
vision for the space before it is actually built.”
The floor plan the Baileys chose involved the kitchen
flowing into an open family room with large French
Country-style ceiling beams and a fireplace. Latta helped
unify the two areas by creating an island that projects into
the family room and offers counter seating. “The space
and square footage lent itself to an unusual shape,” says
Latta, who specified painting the island base as a focal
point and staining the remainder of the cabinetry to tie in
with the family room ceiling beams.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Integrating attractive yet
hard-working cooking and prep areas within a medium-
sized open kitchen. Latta created two main work
zones: one along the room’s back wall that includes the
refrigerator, sink, range and pantry, and another on the
side wall, featuring storage and display space plus a wet
bar sink. Architectural details and artistic elements, such
as metal corbels added alongside the range hood and a
custom-made glass door for the pantry, help the kitchen
blend with the overall style of the great room.
THEIR FAVORITE PART: The open island with the raised
countertop. “Most days, the kids sit there and begin
homework, while I’m at the other side of the island
prepping and cooking,” says Leslie. “I love that the design
brings us all together.”
WHAT THE JUDGES LOVED: The multi-purpose island
was a hit with Tobi Fairley, who could envision how well
this design would work for a family with three kids. Beth
Davis appreciated the room’s artistic touches, from
interesting cabinet hardware to the glass pane in the
pantry door to the intriguing pendant light over the wet
bar.

GardenJoe and Martha Dooley

THE GOAL: Maintain a Southern-style shade garden on the one-acre grounds surrounding their 1905 house, which has been in Joe’s family
for more than four decades.
www.athomearkansas.com 37
©
38 At Home in Arkansas
WHAT THEY DID: In the mid 1970s, Joe’s parents worked
with a landscape design team from Memphis to develop
a garden full of regional favorites that would thrive in
eastern Arkansas. When Joe and Martha inherited the
home, they took on the task of maintaining the garden and
making it feel fresh and lush for the next decade of use.
They began their gardening education, seeking the
advice of horticultural experts, arborists and irrigation
specialists, with Martha achieving master gardener status
along the way. Now, they tend a thriving mix of plants that
offer year-round interest. “With the four distinct growing
seasons in Arkansas, there’s always something for us to
appreciate,” says Joe.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Irrigation. “Getting the right
amount of water to the grass, trees, plants and shrubs,
especially during the hot summer months, meant we
were constantly dragging and moving hoses,” says Joe.
They invested in an irrigation system and claim that the
more efficient delivery of water to the garden makes the
purchase “the smartest money we ever invested,” says Joe.
THEIR FAVORITE PART: The Dooleys concur that sitting
on the back porch, overlooking the patio and grounds, and
watching birds feeding and singing, is as good as it gets.
Hostas, azaleas, a tulip magnolia tree and other regional favorites thrive in the gardens on the Dooleys’ one-acre grounds. A white picket fence with an enticing garden gate leads to the rear courtyard.

Jerusalem GreerNorth Little Rock
BEST
www.athomearkansas.com 45
Jerusalem Greer updated the dining room in her cottage-style home with a coat of Kilz’s Always Aqua paint on a table from Hobby Lobby. The window treatment is an upcycled duvet cover, replacing checked curtains.
46
THE GOAL: Create a family-friendly
dining room in the cottagae she shares with her husband,
Nathan, and sons, Wylie and Miles, updating the space
with minimal expense.
WHAT SHE DID: Jerusalem’s makeover of the 180-square-
foot dining room in her Park Hill neighborhood home began
with a furniture trade. “A good friend and I traded dining
tables,” she says. “I needed one that was long and narrow.
She needed one that was slightly shorter and wider. Always
thrift-minded, we hatched the perfect scheme, and opted to
trade.”
While the size was right for the room, the table’s black
color wasn’t, and Jerusalem remedied that with a fresh coat
of aqua paint. She then created a relaxed gathering space by
surrounding the newly painted table with distressed white
vintage chairs in various shapes and sizes.
Jerusalem “upcycled” pieces she already owned to create
accessories and accents. French tea towels became a table
runner. A vintage lampshade frame, suspended above
the table and topped with a curtain valance and pom-
pom fringe, became a whimsical light fixture. Jerusalem
reworked a patterned duvet cover into cheerful curtains and
added a pair of vintage chests alongside the window.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE: The red walls. Opting to
keep the dramatic color as a contrast to the room’s white
woodwork, Jerusalem found creative ways to brighten the
room and add cheer.
HER FAVORITE PART: Using items she already owned in
new ways. “The makeover was very spontaneous and very
personal,” Jerusalem explains, “which I really like.”
WHAT THE JUDGES LOVED: For Tobi Fairley, it was
the mismatched collection of chairs and interesting
combination of colors. Beth Davis was struck by Jerusalem’s
successful interpretation of the cottage look. And Sandy
Sutton envisions it as an ideal space for lively conversation.
“It’s the kind of place where you could sit down, relax and
talk for awhile,” Sandy says.
And perhaps eat a cupcake or two.

Robin and Steve Mangan tore down the dividing walls in their Little Rock home to create a single open area for cooking , eating and entertaining. “The choppiness of the original layout did not lend itself to our lifestyle,” they explain. The walls and ceilings are painted Wedgewood Gray by Benjamin Moore.
50
THE GOAL:
Unify the main living areas of their
Little Rock home—the living room,
dining room and kitchen—to create
one large open room. The Mangans
wanted the ability to cook, entertain
and spend time with friends and
family all within close proximity,
which was not possible in the original
divided floor plan. “This renovation
helped us make the most of the entire
space,” says Robin.
WHAT THEY DID: Knocked down the walls, adding support
beams where necessary and capitalizing on unused attic
space by raising the ceiling. In the kitchen area, they further
emphasized the openness by moving the cooking range away
from the wall and over to a peninsula facing the adjoining
living spaces. They also replaced a large window with sliding
glass doors, which are painted black to create a focal point,
extending the views outside.
The overall décor is “transitional,” according to Robin. “We
wanted to incorporate contemporary elements while keeping
it warm and welcoming,” she says. Stainless steel appliances
and modern lighting offset traditional slipcovered dining chairs
and whimsical touches like a chalkboard used for jotting down
menus and grocery lists. Fabric from Cynthia East, used on the
armchairs in the living area, was the jumping off point for the
blue-gray walls and vaulted ceiling, creating a neutral backdrop
for the couple’s colorful accessories and local art collection.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Deciding what to do with a
fireplace located in the center of the renovated area. “Removing
it created a better traffic flow and allows views of the backyard
and pool,” Robin explains.
THEIR FAVORITE PART: The openness. “You walk in the front
door and immediately see what’s going on in the kitchen,”
Robin says. “Our great room is comforting and where we now
spend a majority of our time.”
WHAT THE JUDGES LOVED: The cohesiveness impressed
Beth Davis. Tobi Fairley noted the kitchen’s added storage
and work surfaces. And Phil Purifoy, applauding the Mangans’
documentation of the renovation process, said that the space
came a long way from how it looked when they began.
51
In the kitchen, the Mangans moved the cooking range from the wall to a granite peninsula facing the living area, which allows them to converse with friends and family while they prepare meals.
52
“This renovation helped us make the most of the entire space.”
—Robin Mangan
53
Sleek stainless steel appliances, cabinet hardware and a Blanco faucet added contemporary style to the kitchen. The Mangans kept the existing cabinetry and countertops where possible, customizing the peninsula to match. Facing page: A seating nook fit into the new floor plan.

Sliding glass doors replaced a large window in the living area and were painted black to make the view outside a focal point.

A custom-made door leads into a grand foyer with a coved ceiling clad in thin brick pavers; limestone floors and faux-finished walls give the room an aged appearance. A trio of ironwork chandeliers spans the space between the front door and the back courtyard.
58
THE GOAL:Build a comfortable, customized residence as a
gathering place for their family of five, which includes two sons currently deployed to Afghanistan and their youngest son who resides at home. “I envisioned it as a traditional house built with classic materials,” says
Robin, “a place that would welcome family and friends and where each room would feel unique and special.”
WHAT THEY DID:
Having worked in the
construction industry for
more than 20 years, Mike
has a base of experience
that served the couple
well in designing and
building their own place.
Robin, an avid magazine
reader and avowed
home interiors fanatic,
drew from her extensive
ideas file and devised a
preliminary floor plan
that the couple then had
an architect render.
“My starting point
was a grand entry way,
where you would walk in
the front door and see
through the house,” says
Robin. She connected
the main living areas
to the entry hallway for
an easy room-to-room
flow while entertaining
and created an open
family room and kitchen
combination.
Robin kept a design
notebook for each
room, detailing surface
treatments, furnishings,
lighting and other
interior elements. “My
goal was to make each
room feel like it’s our
favorite, giving every space full attention and custom
treatments,” she adds. In the library, that included alder
wood paneling and a vintage-inspired ladder for reaching
books on the top shelves. In the
entry area, an arched ceiling
clad in brick pavers, a limestone
floor and stone doorways added
substance. Similarly, in the
kitchen and family room, brick
accent walls and a coffered
millwork ceiling carried through
the traditional, cozy concept
Robin had in mind.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE:
“Envisioning the look and then
being able to bring it to life,” she
says. She used visuals to convey
her ideas to the construction
team. “I showed them lots and
lots of pictures, which meant lots
and lots of research,” adds the
design aficionado, who says she
relished the task.
THEIR FAVORITE PART:
Finishing their new home in time
to host a party commemorating
Robin’s parents’ 50th wedding
anniversary, which coincided
with her father’s 75th birthday.
“We’ve been opening our doors
and sharing our home with the
community, family and friends
ever since,” she says.
WHAT THE JUDGES LOVED: The
custom details, from the “use
of brick, wood and stone to add
some age and substance” says
Tobi Fairley, to the fact that the Coheas “paid attention
to the ceilings, which are often overlooked,” adds Sandy
Sutton.

Living, dining and kitchen areas flow together thanks to the open floor plan the Coheas devised. The brick accent wall in the kitchen blends with a coffered ceiling that continues into the living area. The loveseat and framed signs are from Restoration Hardware.
62
A copper range hood defines the cooking area and is complemented by black cabinetry mixed with a mesquite wood island. The ceiling and walls are covered in Pittsburgh Paint’s Tailored Linen, while the red dining rooms walls are custom mixed.

THE GOAL:Build a new residence on a narrow site in the heart of
downtown Fayetteville, making use of an open area between an existing structure and the
Fayetteville Town Center. “The owners have lived in New
York for many years, and wanted to bring the feeling of an urban
living space to their home in Arkansas,” says architect Laleh
Amirmoez, AIA.
WHAT THEY DID: Designed a seven-story building that
occupies a 30-by-60 foot plot of land. The lower levels serve
as office space and the upper levels contain the residence,
including a library mezzanine and a rooftop garden.
Creating an intriguing vertical structure while
complementing the facades of the neighboring buildings was a
priority for Amirmoez, who ultimately selected a combination
of brick, metal panels and an exterior insulated finish
system. “They reflect a mix of traditional and contemporary
materials,” she says, “and relate well to the Town Center.”
Wide windows featuring high performance glass and aluminum
casings accent the exterior, while also infusing the home with
natural light and framing views of downtown Fayetteville and
the neighboring mountains.
Inside, cherry wood harvested from the homeowners’ farm
on the outskirts of Fayetteville was used as a warm accent
in the living spaces and as a focal point in a grand staircase
connecting the levels. Stainless steel details complement the
wood, highlighting the blend of traditional and contemporary
elements Amirmoez worked into the design.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Working with the city ordinances
for building height, fire prevention and other codes, which
involved incorporating extensive structural bracing, an
elaborate sprinkler system and more.
THEIR FAVORITE PART: Designing the façade to be three-
dimensional. “Because the structure is very narrow and tall,
we added some interest to the exterior by projecting out the
walls in areas where the homeowners needed more space, like
the living room,” says Amirmoez.
WHAT THE JUDGES LOVED: Phil Purifoy was intrigued
by “the delicate balance in how the building is layered and
massed.” Daniel Keeley admired the urban-living aspect. And
all the judges applauded the infill approach to building on a
vacant downtown site.
