At Home Hits the Runway 11.5.09

by

This master bedroom (by Tobi Fairley and featured in our March 2009 issue), with its gold hues, ornate light fixture and luxurious wall coverings and fabrics, called for a runway look that screamed “look at me.” We found what we were looking for in this corset dress by Richard Nicoll. Its gold velvet panels and even a tiny arch at the bottom (like the arched doorway) make it the runway equivalent of this gorgeous 24-karat bedroom. Add some gold jewelry and strappy high heels–and a coat to ward off a winter chill–and people will think you’ve acquired the Midas touch.

Considering how positively pretty they are, it’s no surprise Vivienne Tam decided to make peonies the focal point of her Spring 2009 Collection. “Every woman loves peonies,” Tam declared before her show.

Lush and colorful, peonies also play a starring role in our April 2010 issue, featuring Henry Chotkowski’s peony farm on the outskirts of Fayetteville–the three-acre plot of land literally transforms into a sea of green leaves and bright blooms! Don’t miss the Mother’s Day Open House on May 9 from 1 to 6 p.m., with live music, refreshments, dessert and an opportunity to order peonies or buy cut flowers.

Cozy, warm and functional. Isn’t that what a kitchen should be? This kitchen’s not only top notch in the beauty department, but also highly efficient. Task lighting, countertop drawers, sink side shelves, Wolf range, the works! Of course, these looks from Ralph Lauren aren’t too shabby in the looks and efficiency department either. Who knew cargo pants, boots and messenger bags could be so chic?

Quick, grab your shades! This sunny colored Little Rock home brightened our pages in February of 2007. And since it seems to be getting darker so early now, we thought your late afternoon could use a little pick-me-up! For this edition of At Home Hits the Runway, Oscar de la Renta fit the bill perfectly with these looks from his Spring 2009 and Resort 2009 collections, both of which pack a colorful yet sophisticated punch.

A cottage in Little Rock’s Hillcrest neighborhood (click here for more images) inspired this edition of At Home Hits the Runway. Layers of warm earth tones and sunflowers take it from cute to cozy. We love the Barry Thomas art featuring the homeowner, David Kirkpatrick of Cabbage Rose Floral Boutique, arranging flowers, as well as other paintings by Kirkpatrick himself. These runway looks by Hermes, while breezy enough for spring, have the same rich hues–and even a dainty sunflower pattern draped into floaty skirts.

The past few days have brought with them the first patio weather of spring, which put a smile on our faces. We’ve had the opportunity to feature lots of beautiful outdoor spaces (remember Mona Thompsons’ house?). And these, paired with refreshing spring runway looks, aren’t too shabby either…

We’re creating a park like setting in Fayetteville’s East Square Plaza building, and infusing the furnishings with fashion inspires textiles.

The space is divided into 5 main areas:

1. Runway: a tent like space with an elevated runway covered in an imported glazed glitter fabric to reflect light and add a bit of drama. The room is being set up as a true fashion show. To showcase all the amazing clothes and spotlight each charity, Apollo Event Group is providing specialty lighting throughout the event space.

2. Atrium: This space is for the primary bar and food service, as well as seating areas that will be slipcovered in denims, plaids, linens and stripes all in vibrant spring colors, inspired by this year’s trends on the runway. The room will be filled with live trees, and huge arrangements of cherry and almond blossoms as well as lanterns with candles to help set the mood.

3. L’oreal beauty lounge: Dedicated to the wide range of beauty products supplied to our event by L’Oreal. We have teamed with them to provide a beauty bar for our guests to try. The room continues our park concept with amazing seating, display and bar areas, also a photo wall for paparazzi style pics.

4: Mertins eye accessory lounge: The lounge will have a more contemporary feel to complement the sleek styles of eye ware provided by Mertins Family Eyecare for the event. Guests will be able view the latest styles at the eye ware bar and consult with professionals on the latest looks.

5. VIP lounge: the plushest of our spaces will be wrapped in metallic striped silk taffeta walls, contemporary seating, exotic lighting and extravagant florals, all to provide a truly couture experience.

At Home and Goddard Design Group can’t wait to see you there!

Okay, I’m admittedly one of those people who, when it comes to home decor, absolutely loves the color white. (Remember this color personality test? My result was “White Spaces.”) To me, it creates a great canvas, allowing other elements in a room to pop. So, I of course have a huge crush on Ray and Carrie Bell’s monochromatic master bedroom, which was featured in our August 2009 issue, designed by Kevin Walsh of Bear-Hill Interiors and photographed by Nancy Nolan. The color palette is clean and fresh, so the vivid Stuart Holcomb painting can take center stage. And the lucite chair, in a traditional shape no less, is a hip addition to the space. Kind of like this look from the BCBG runway, the master bedroom’s playful mix of neutrals and brights makes it all the more interesting.
