Carol and Fred Auger have been operating C&F Flooring and Rug Gallery in Little Rock for 21 years. This spring, they celebrated a new milestone as they re-opened their showroom in a larger location. “We’ve been looking for the right place for a while,” Carol explains. “It felt good to move into the same complex but a bigger space. We have a lot of new products, and we’re excited to have the room to display it in a way that makes you go, wow.” Shoppers can expect increased selections of flooring, carpet, rugs, vinyl plank, and high-end tile products at the new location, Carol says.

Before and After: Bold Collab
The January/February 2019 issue features the home of Andrea Brooks, an interior designer herself who teamed up with Ashley Cardiel Interiors to makeover her Fayetteville home. “We challenged each other to always push ourselves creatively and at least share ideas aloud,” Ashley said of the collaboration. Throughout the process, the two coined the turn “aristo-boho” to describe the project: “It’s the marriage of preppy, aristocratic colors and textures with the art and accessories of a more bohemian traveler,” she said.

Milk Carton Open in Fayetteville
Home goods and gift store The Milk Carton opened this fall at 352 West Ave. in Fayetteville in the building once occupied by Mae’s Emporium.
The shop was named so because a milk carton is a “seemingly insubstantial object, yet it evokes a feeling of nostalgia,” says April Rae Mallord, who owns the store along with Lauri Matisse and Wally Phillips. “Everyone remembers sitting at lunchtime with their friends through elementary, middle school, and high school with at least one milk carton present on the table. … The Milk Carton is meant to evoke that childlike curiosity, contentedness, and wonder that we all had as children—when we could find joy in the small, seemingly insignificant things,” April explains. “The building itself seems small and insubstantial, but once you open the door, just like a milk carton, you enter a world of enchantment, never knowing what magical finds will delight you.”…
Small Touches Can Mean Big Show

By now, maybe you have succeeded at bringing in and setting up the tree, which reaches almost to the ceiling. Of the second floor. You’ve bought or made enough wreaths to hang in every window facing the street, and nailed the largest one to the front door, making bows and checking lights for every single one. And you’ve strung enough garland, that if stretched from end to end, would reach from the front curb to the back fence. Great. But you’re not finished yet! Go to the attic and retrieve those boxes full of keepsake holiday items, stuff ranging from your childhood to yard sale finds, and something given to you just last year. Now, find a place and a way to use them. Small holiday elements grouped together can make all the difference in the world in how really well decorated your house is for the holidays.

M2 Gallery Reopens in SOMA
People gathered at M2 Gallery’s official Grand Opening at 1300 Main St.
Owners Mac and Ashley Murphy
After 11 years in Little Rock’s Pleasant Ridge Town Center, M2 Gallery has moved to a storefront in the city’s South Main neighborhood. “We’ve had our eye on this spot for a long time,” says Mac Murphy, who owns the gallery with his wife, Ashley. “We’d talked about if we were to move, where would we go? And we already spend time here and have friends in the community, so we’re glad to be a part of it as it keeps growing.”
In addition to showing work from 25-plus artists and offering framing services, the new location features additional studio space (Ashley also runs a photography business); a curated collection of vintage pieces; and a special “works on paper” room with prints and drawings organized to allow shoppers to easily view 2-D pieces. M2 Gallery is located at 1300 Main St., next door to South on Main and below the Oxford American offices.

Your Way for the Holiday
Part of a series: Living the Good Life with Chris Olsen
Would you like to put your own stamp on holiday decorating? If this question was posed on a survey, responses would overwhelmingly be in the affirmative. Who wouldn’t want to use elements, colors, and a decorating scheme that matches their own taste and color preferences. But time after time, we haul boxes down out of the attic and set up the same red-and-green color pairing, along with the same items we dust off and place around the room.
I think you can decorate for the holidays and put your own personality and references in it, all without much work. Pick two colors you want to use. They can be hot colors, or cool. ‘Hot’ refers to reds and oranges, ‘cool’ to their opposites on the color wheel. A pairing of these colors works best because you want to limit your theme, so it’s readily seen. I love cool colors, and have accessories throughout my house that reflect my predilections. You will, too. And, instead of adding all the individual items that proclaim Christmas, limit them. I chose to use ornaments solely for the simple reason I have so many. Think about those boxes in the attic; I bet you have a lot, too. Use a mass of these items, not just a few, and pile them up.

Moroccan Style Through the Eyes of Chris Goddard
In October, acclaimed designer Chris Goddard took over our Instagram feed for 48 hours during his almost two weeks of travel through Morocco. Today, we’re excited to share a more in-depth look at some of his favorite stops along the way.
Morocco has become a personal destination of rejuvenation for me in terms of color, texture, design, fragrance and cuisine.
From the century-old medinas in Fes and Marrakech—touching every possible sense—to the peaceful serenity of the desert, which calms the soul, I find great inspiration which I try to incorporate into all of my designs. Eclectic interiors and rooms that tell a story are a few Goddard Design Group trademarks. Below are two aspects that speak strongly to me….
