When Kathryn LeMaster started working with Marnie and Dennis Wightman on their home remodel, her challenge was in helping them achieve the ease of use they desired while still giving the home elements of interest and a “modern edge.” “They had a good idea of what they wanted for the layout, and they had already worked with the architects on opening it up,” Kathryn says. “When I came on board, it was all about choosing finishes and making it feel like all three rooms—the kitchen and nearby dining and living rooms—could flow from one to the next.”…

Before & After: Designer Katherine Spicer helps a Fort Smith family freshen their dining room’s style while incorporating beloved pieces
Sometimes you don’t know exactly what a room is missing until you see it completed. That’s how it was for Leslie and Aubrey Ziegler, who worked with interior designer Katherine Spicer to refresh several of the interior spaces of their new-construction home. “We had a bunch of hand-me-down furniture and this and that from our old home,” Leslie says. “It was my mother who said, Leslie, you built that beautiful home, now you need to hire someone to help you finish it.”…

Before & After: In Hot Springs Village, designer Alissa Oates creates a modern master bath that doesn’t skimp on style or amenities
You may be familiar with the saying Necessity is the mother of invention. However, for Kelly and Chad Fowler, necessity was the mother of renovation. After a driver lost control of his car and damaged the exterior of their home—most notably an area near the master bath—they knew it was time to move forward with plans to renovate the space. Fortunately, the Fowlers were already working with Alissa Oates of Restructure Design. “She had just finished re-doing our kitchen, and we were hitting pause for a bit before continuing on to the bath,” Kelly explains….
