NEW LOOKS for the NEW YEAR
Over the past few months, I’ve had the chance to talk with designers and design
students across Arkansas, and I’ve come away newly inspired by the talent in our state
and what the future holds.First was a multi-day meeting at the University of Arkansas Fay Jones School
of Architecture in Fayetteville, where architecture, interior design and landscape
architecture have been unifi ed for a cohesive approach toward the study of design. I’ve
joined on as a professional advisory board member for the school, as it moves toward
further uniting the programs under one roof with the renovation and expansion of the
long-time home of the architecture department, Vol Walker Hall. When complete, this
school, which has been ranked among the top 20 in the nation, will be able to increase
enrollment and offer an even better student experience.
As part of our sessions at the university, we met with students to critique work and
offer perspective on projects and career options. As they presented and discussed ideas,
their enthusiasm was infectious. With fresh approaches to design challenges, integrated
solutions, and innovative uses for new materials, these students were fully immersed in
good design as a means of improving quality of life.
Next it was on to meetings with the Arkansas members of the American Society
Design has a bright future in our state.
Open to the public with talks scheduled throughout the springarchitecture.uark.edu
of Interior Designers as we began planning their awards coverage in this issue. Viewing the award-winning work, from
beautiful homes to sleek offi ces to energetic school buildings, made me want to visit each and every one of these projects
that were so thoughtfully and creatively designed. To intrigue you as well, we’ve highlighted all the projects receiving gold
awards (beginning on page 42), and we’re pleased to be able to showcase this work.
As design afi cionados, why not begin the new year by showing your support for the programs in our state? Below, I’ve
listed a few ways to join the design conversation. I’d love to hear what’s happening in your community as well—let’s keep
the good design dialog going.

In Little Rock, an aunt and niece with a predisposition for collecting have amassed
a colorful array of glass paperweights

“COLLECTING RUNS IN THE GENES,” says Lisa
Lawson, whose penchant for paperweights is equaled by
that of her niece, Denise Whittington. Lisa acquired her
fi rst paperweight in 1989, Denise in 1997 when she and her
husband were living in New Zealand. Soon, word spread and
they were receiving weights from family and friends. Between
them, the duo now has hundreds, each treated more as a work
of art than an offi ce accessory.
Paperweights were initially designed with just function in
mind, as lifeless lumps of glass or metal used to anchor paper
bills and letters against breezes wafting into offi ces through
opened windows. By the mid 1800s, however, an entire industry
emerged to serve this purpose in a more stylish way. Factories
in France, followed by England and America, built on Italian
glass-making traditions to reimagine paperweights as objets
d’art for the desktop. Baccarat in France and America’s
Boston & Sandwich were famed producers, as was Tiffany &
Co.
Today, the exchange of information occurs for the most
part electronically, lessening the need for a paperweight
that’s not purely decorative. As a result, Denise notes, “most
quality modern paperweights aren’t mass-produced, but
rather made individually by glass artists in studios.” This
includes many in Denise’s collection, which she displays as
art glass on shelves that span an entire wall in her living
room. But it’s only upon closer inspection that the detail of
their beauty is revealed.
The fi rst paperweight Denise purchased came from a
gallery on New Zealand’s South Island, near a popular
destination known as Pancake Rocks. It falls into a category
of paperweights known as millefi ori, the Italian word for
“a thousand fl owers.” This technique requires dipping
glass canes into layers of different colored molten glass
and then slicing the canes into thin cross-sections, called
murrine. The murrine are then bundled together and
covered in a thick dome of clear glass, which magnifi es
their colorful patterns.
Denise and Lisa don’t stick to just one type of
paperweight, but gravitate towards the colors and designs
they fi nd most appealing. Oftentimes for Denise, this
means abstract swirl designs, created through a process
of melting and spinning crushed pieces of colored glass,
called frits, into the paperweight during production.
Denise has sourced many while on holiday, in Eureka
Springs, Mountain Vernon, and even London, England,
where she discovered another millefi ori weight at the
Antiques Market on Portobello Road. One of her favorites
to date, however, features blue and green swirls, which
she found during a summer holiday with her family, at an
art glass shop in Seaside, Florida.
Conversations about their paperweights are dotted with
references to “Nana” and “Mammy,” Denise’s grandmother
and great-grandmother, who further enabled the duo’s
collecting with paperweights found everywhere from New
Orleans to Italy. Through both Lisa and Denise, the family’s
affi nity for collecting beautiful things, and sharing them
among each other, is evidently stronger than ever. “If I have
one,” says Lisa, “I fi gure that’s a good start to a collection.”

Designer Andi Stephens uses the crisp contrast of a black and cream color palette as well as bold pendant lighting to define the open kitchen in a new home by builder John Ward.
22 At Home in Arkansas
NO WASTED SPACE WAS THE MANTRA Fayetteville homeowners passed along to
designer Andi Stephens when they began planning the kitchen in their new home. The
husband, an Arkansas native, and the wife, who was raised in Belgium, worked with builder
John Ward to create a retreat-like residence nestled on a wooded lot, a place where they
envisioned gathering with their two children and other family and friends, and eventually
slowing down hectic schedules and working from home.
With that in mind, creating a kitchen to serve as the hub of the home was a priority—a
space where they could work, entertain and relax in an attractive yet highly efficient
setting. The design team devised an open layout featuring a U-shaped space for the main
work areas, with cooking, cabinetry, refrigerator and prep areas on the perimeter and an
island with bar seating in the center. Off to the side, a desk and wet bar area are out of the
main traffic flow yet easily accessible.
Ceiling and floor treatments define work versus entertaining areas, with a lower ceiling
over counter spaces offering task lighting and a raised ceiling over the island creating a
Walls and trim painted Sherwin-Williams’ Macadamia and Moderate White mix with black, sage green and glazed white cabinetry from Brookhaven, including panels cladding a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Porcelain tile floors blend with hand-scraped eucalyptus wood from Mohawk.

feeling of spaciousness. Likewise, tile floors in the prep zones blend into
wood floors at the island seating, bar and desk areas.
Within this open setting, Stephens used a color palette of cream, tan,
sage green and black to create “a fresh traditional look,” she says, “that
relates to the woods outside the windows and feels relaxed.” Materials
choices followed a nature-inspired concept as well, with two tones of granite
for countertops, marble tiles for the backsplash and wood floors featuring
hand-scraped eucalyptus.
To maximum efficiency, Stephens and the homeowners assessed storage
needs and planned how each cabinet would be used, designating places for
everything from baking sheets to spices to dinnerware. “There’s no useless
space in this kitchen,” says Stephens, “with all the cabinets featuring roll-
out drawers, pull-out corner units or dividers.” It’s a highly organized room,
which, she adds, is the key to making multiple uses work together easily.
Alongside the kitchen, a bar with Sub-Zero wine and beverage refrigerators and a desk area complete the multi-tasking space. Cabinets matching the kitchen maximize storage options, including custom drawers for office essentials.

COOKING AND PREP ZONE ESSENTIALSA Viking hood tops a Wolf range in the cooking niche, which features a tumbled travertine marble backsplash with an inset basket-weave pattern of polished marble. Baltic black granite in work areas pairs with Floral Fantastico granite on the island, where a Blanco sink with a Delta faucet is inset.
KNIVES AND POTHOLDERS are stored alongside the range for easy access from the cooking area and the prep island.
PULLOUT STORAGE DRAWERS behind cabinet doors are deep enough for pots and pans and feature gentle-close hardware so contents stay in place.
CORNER CABINETS hold slide-out curved shelves that fully extend to maximize storage.
CABINETRY COLUMNS flanking the range keep spices, oils and other needs handy while cooking.
“There’s no useless space in this kitchen.”

CLASSIC STYLE IS REDEFINED IN AN ELEGANT LITTLE ROCK HOME,
WHERE RELAXED COLORS, AGED FURNISHINGS AND BOLD PATTERNS CREATE FAMILY-FRIENDLY SPACES
Interview: Tiffany Burgess Photography: Nancy Nolan
Styling: Diane Carroll
30
At Home in Arkansas: This entire home seems to
have a light, livable feel that could work for any time
of day or any occasion. How do you describe this
style?
Designer Jim Howard of James Michael Howard, Inc.:
It’s really classic American design that incorporates
pieces of European furniture. I used true American
colors that are light, faded and seem to catch the
sunlight as the basis for the palette, and then added
texture through fabrics and furniture. Since Dr.
Ezeldin is originally from Syria and his wife was
born in Brazil, it was important for them to embrace
the local culture in Arkansas and for those ideas
and values to be reflected in their home. We tried
to accomplish this through strong, classic pieces of
furniture, as well as fabrics and accessories.
AHIA: The Ezeldins also have three young children.
Was it a challenge to make the rooms work for them
as well?
JH: It flowed naturally as a part of the overall design.
We all lead such busy lives that it’s important to
have rooms that are truly comfortable—where you
can turn off your cell phone, relax and just enjoy
being together. This home has rooms where the
entire family can gather to do that and also separate
into smaller spaces that allow for personal retreats.
Things like large sofas and ottomans with storage
and great lighting throughout the home make it
work for all ages. We also used darker fabrics, like
the chocolate brown, in the family room. When you
use darker fabrics and livable textures you don’t have
to worry about your kids bringing in a sandwich or
having drinks in the room—it’s a very pragmatic
approach.
AHIA: This practical approach seems to carry over
into the kitchen area.
JH: It does. It seems inevitable that the kitchen is
where families tend to spend the most time. We
created defined living, cooking and dining areas in
this space to allow everyone to be together as much
as possible. When I first began to spend time with the
Ezeldins, I noticed Sandra was always busy preparing
meals or snacks for her family. Her husband and
children liked to gather around while she was doing
this. Having a dining area as well as a gathering area
in the kitchen allows everyone to talk and interact
whether they are cooking, doing homework or eating
dinner.
AHIA: You also mentioned the large scale of the sofas
and ottomans in the family room. Did the size of the
rooms dictate some of your furniture selections?
JH: As with any project, we chose pieces that would
complement the home’s architecture. Many of the
rooms in this home are larger and allow for those
big, comfortable sofas, as well as other sizable pieces
such as the armoires and the long dining table in the
kitchen. The home also has tall ceilings, so to give
the rooms a cozy feel we added beams that help to
ground the look.

Opposite page, top to bottom: Neutral walls painted Benjamin Moore’s White Down provide a welcome backdrop for the dining room’s cinnabar draperies and traditional accents. A cozy chair from Lee Industries covered in a silk velvet chevron fabric from Clarence House invites guests to linger by the fire. This page: Benjamin Moore’s Wood Grain Brown paint sets a rich, alluring tone for the family’s formal living room. Accent pieces such as the mirrored coffee table, antique French chandelier and secretary are from Mrs. Howard, the designer’s wife’s store in Atlanta.

An open floor plan allows the kitchen, dining area and a gathering space to seamlessly blend together; walls are covered in Benjamin Moore’s Carrington Beige. Three large pendants from Circa Lighting illuminate the island; traditional barstools are from Zentique. A pair of rugs from Mrs. Howard and four large armchairs from Hickory Chair create an inviting seating area.
34
A long cypress wood dining table from Hickory Chair and coordinating chairs from Century Furniture offer plenty of room for the family to share dinners, and also give the kids space for homework. A circular candle chandelier from Circa Lighting emanates a soft glow. Scalloped valances and draperies feature Peter Dunham Textiles’ Rajmata fabric. A prep sink near the window allows Sandra to take in the outdoors while cooking.
35
AHIA: The window treatments throughout the
home are so eye-catching.
JH: You’ll notice that the valances and draperies in
each room all have the same scalloped treatment,
so they appear uniform from the street. However,
the different patterns and textures in the fabric are
tailored to each room’s look.
AHIA: Speaking of being uniform, the palette in
the home feels very cohesive and light, yet there’s
one room in the home that steps out.
JH: Yes, we reversed the color palette in the living
room for a more dramatic and chic look. This room
is really more of a night space; a place where ladies
might gather during a party or the couple might
entertain close friends and acquaintances. It’s
meant to be a very smart, high style room. Since
it’s slightly set apart from the rest of the home’s
look, it creates a more distinguished presence for
entertaining guests.
AHIA: On the flip side of being uniform, many of
the furniture pairings in the home, for instance
the cocktail tables in the living room, are not
symmetrical. How did that play into the overall
look and feel?
JH: It really goes back to the idea of creating
rooms that are comfortable and invite the family to
relax. Mixing different sizes and styles eliminates
some of the formality. And the robust, high-quality
furnishings and accessories help to balance this
and bring the classic American style full circle.

The family room is everyone’s favorite place to relax, thanks to oversized chocolate-brown sofas from Lee Industries. A large, custom-crafted ottoman not only serves as a casual coffee table, but also provides extra seating for guests. Framed Kuba cloths act as the room’s focal point. Scalloped valances and full-length draperies, both in a fabric from Fabricut, frame the windows to the garden.

ASID GOLD AWARDS 2011
For her own home, Fairley updated a 1970s residence into a space that is stylish and functional for her young family. The eight-foot ceilings and small rooms in the older home presented a challenge, as the family desired an open, airy look. Spaces for entertaining, storage, plenty of seating and cozy rooms were also priorities. Fairley used light, bright colors as the key to the design, painting ceilings a shade lighter than the walls to create the illusion of larger spaces. Installing drapery up to the molding added to the illusion of higher ceilings. Arranging furniture in a conversation-style layout provided generous seating while still leaving room for traffic flow. For storage, Fairley used multi-purpose furnishings and added bookcases. Replacing windows with French doors in the family room allowed access to outdoor entertaining areas.

For Fairley’s transformation of a Fayetteville residence, the challenge was to create a kid-friendly space for a young family of five that involved the merging of two households. While the homeowners have an affinity for bold color and the contemporary appearance of stylish boutique hotels, their residence features traditional architecture; the interiors were designed to bridge the gap between the two looks. Fairley curated existing furnishings and selected a color palette of aqua, brown and coral that worked with the wood tones in the home and created a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that she accented with contemporary fabrics and select new furniture. Durable materials and multi-purpose furnishings suit the needs of the young family.

In this renovation of a 1950s-era residence, Hamilton transformed a series of small, outdated kitchen spaces into one enlarged, more functional area that addressed the client’s desire for an open, light-filled, contemporary space. In reconfiguring the floor plan, Hamilton removed interior walls and upgraded a bank of windows, and then created prep and storage zones within the kitchen, using a partial wall of quarter-sawn black walnut cabinetry as a warm, organic element that defines the space without blocking the flow of light.

For this designer showcase in a century-old home suited to grand entertaining, Fairley faced the challenge of creating an accommodating hallway that serves as the hub between entry, staircase, dining, living and sun room spaces. Her vision was to create a space that’s contemporary in color and pattern, while looking to the historic fabric of the home for design clues; the result is a juxtaposition between historic forms and modern finishes creating an updated look for today’s lifestyles. Various seating areas provide a place to enjoy conversation and entertain at the central axis of the home. Furniture placement was dictated by the need to provide safe traffic flow to the adjoining spaces. Custom-designed fabrics, architectural lighting, floor coverings and furniture meld contemporary and historic style throughout the space.

Hamilton’s makeover of a master bathroom in a 1950s-era residence continued the monochromatic, light reflective color palette she began in the kitchen, and added spa-like amenities to create a retreat for the homeowner. Removing a dividing wall between bath and dressing areas allowed room for Hamilton to add both a soaking tub and an open shower. Updating the windows and using quartz countertops, glass mosaic accent tile and cream-colored porcelain tile on the floor and tub area further allows the flow of light. For space savings, the mirrored vanity lifts open into a recessed ceiling niche. An undermounted tub and sinks as well as sleek fixtures enhance the modern appearance, while quarter-sawn black walnut cabinetry adds textural detail.

In establishing a corporate headquarters for a new wireless provider on three floors of an existing office building, the design team was challenged to create a high value, high tech, energetic and fun office environment. The client wanted efficient workstations, conference rooms, training rooms accommodating large and small groups, and centrally located cafes that encourage collaboration, while achieving budget savings when possible. The design team’s solution was to open up spaces as needed and to retain existing materials, with Trice incorporating fresh, new color schemes throughout and updating interior finishes/materials where necessary. The main design emphasis centered on the communal spaces, including the cafes. By providing several unique elements, such as glowing 3form translucent countertops, crisp glazing, colorful sweeping curved walls, plus linear ceiling and carpet details, the design reflects the movement and speed evident in the company’s core telecommunications mission.

For this newly built clinic, the client desired an efficient layout that would put patients at ease through uncomplicated wayfinding. Bounds used changes of flooring and ceiling materials to define functional areas and add warmth, including a linear wood ceiling in the lobby. She selected a blue and green color palette modulating between dramatic and soft shades to achieve a rich, soothing effect, including painted accent walls that visually break up the space. Vinyl floor patterns with accent tiles mesh with the background color, creating a design that fades in and out. Each floor pattern is located at prominent door and decision points to direct traffic flow. Artwork emphasizing nature, which has been noted as having a positive effect on medical outcomes, was added throughout the clinic and features Arkansas artists.

Built in 1924, the Federal Reserve Bank building and the adjacent 1930 Gem Building had remained underutilized for years when selected as the site for this small, specialty urban public charter high school. In order to facilitate 500 9th through 12th graders, the client required classroom space, staff offices, chemistry and biology labs, art studio, cafeteria and media center, all in a visually stimulating and technologically modern environment. To achieve Rehabilitation Tax Credits, historic materials and finishes had to be restored to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The lobby was restored to its original condition and configuration, with historic paint investigation determining the original color use. Pilasters, crown molding and other architectural details damaged over time were repaired and reused to the greatest extent possible. By preserving original attributes while adding modern amenities, several classrooms were carved out of previously unusable space, making this project feasible and saving a longstanding iconic structure from the wrecking ball.

A partially vacant floor in an existing library was transformed into a multi-functional space for teens. Creating areas for reading, completing homework and accessing computers, as well as interactive spaces for gaming and weekly movie nights, were priorities, all within a low maintenance setting. Goss’ design used bold colors to add energy to the linear, low ceiling height space, with recessed light fixtures and a glass wall visually widening the room. Fabric panels were hung near the ceiling to draw the eye up, with lighting enhancing the vertical effect. A neutral wall color reflects light, while furniture groupings define areas within the open space. Televisions, lounge seating and a kitchenette accommodate movie nights as well as interactive gaming, all outfitted with durable, easily cleaned materials.

Creating a new residence and dining hall that welcomes students, offers the latest amenities and allows them to experience a high-quality contemporary environment were the goals for this project. Developing a unique look for each space was a priority as well. The design team devised a monochromatic color scheme as a backdrop for bold accents located throughout the spaces. Building finishes evoke an upscale feel, and enhance the residence hall experience. In the dining hall, a primary-colored ceiling treatment includes geometric patterns with bold colors, as well as a unique lighting feature. Perforations in the tiles create a ribbon-like design and are illuminated at night, changing the room’s atmosphere. Additional design consultants on the project include Little Diversified Architectural Consulting and Sarah Meek Howe, AIA, LEED AP.

For this addition to a previously renovated 1980s elementary school, the design team’s approach was to apply a clean and modern style to blend with the existing building. While school board members sought a primary color scheme, teachers and staff requested bright colors, as well as a way to organize students when passing through hallways. WER developed an off-primary color scheme that appeased both requests. Durable materials were essential, and because federal programs funded the project, all materials had to comply with the Buy American Act. A low budget and short timeframe added challenges. WER applied specialty wall panels in bright colors to protect walls in high traffic sections, and specified vinyl tile and vinyl cushion tufted textile as low maintenance, sound absorbing flooring, and then worked with local vendors to find overstock products for a substantial cost saving. Colorful tile insets designate areas for organizing the flow of students.

This renovation of a student union at a small, commuter campus involved adding a bookstore, library and food service area, as well as computer lab and relaxation spaces where students can congregate and enjoy spending time between classes. Budget, space constraints and traffic flow through multiple doorways presented challenges. The team concentrated the design around a comfortable central conversation area and used glass walls to define workspaces while creating an open, airy appearance. Removing the existing ceiling and adding skylights enhanced the effect as well. A bright, warm and inviting color palette was selected, with a neutral floor as the backdrop for a mixture of colors and textures on furnishings and walls. The food service area is set apart with a red epoxy floor mirroring the ceiling and accented with strawberry-colored chairs. From reading nooks to banquettes, ample seating offers students places to socialize and enhance their learning experience.

To enhance the Grand Hall of the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion, the Governor and First Lady commissioned unique and historically significant lighting fixtures to include iconic symbols related to Arkansas. The design team’s response was the creation of a chandelier and sconces framed in hand-wrought steel with a gold and silver leaf patina. The mid 19th-century cage style chandelier and sconces include state-specific symbols, such as the state tree, flower, insect, crystal and diamond mines, and the 25 stars in the flag representing the 25th state. In the center, a hand-beaded glass vase holding beaded apple blossom branches is illuminated from below. One beaded honeybee, the state insect, rests on a blossom. Actual pinecones from the mansion grounds were used to create molds for bronze cones. Large Arkansas crystals hang from the center and bottom of the fixtures, all combining to create focal points in the gathering space.

The Greek Revival-style Lakeport Plantation house, built in 1859 by enslaved persons, is one of Arkansas’ premier historic sites. Beginning in 1999, Shannon acted as restoration team director, coordinating architects, engineers, archeologists, special consultants and historians, and serving as interior designer. Maribeth Frazer, ASID, served as an integral part of the design team and local coordinator. Arkansas State University became the client once the plantation home was gifted to its Heritage Sites program in 2001, and the project followed the highest levels of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties to serve as a model for preservation programs around the country. The team researched stories of race, family, culture, sacrifice, innovation and preservation as the impetus for the meticulous restoration. Integral elements in the final design process included repainting the home in the original colors, discovered through laboratory tests, and curating furnishings originally used in the residence.

"SMALL SPACES OFTEN BENEFIT FROM A HUGE COLOR BLAST. I WILL COVER THE ENTIRE
ROOM IN ONE COLOR WITH THE VARIETY OF TEXTURE FROM PAINT, FABRIC AND ACCENTS PROVIDING INTEREST. I FIND
BY COATING A SMALL SPACE IN ONE COLOR, THE ROOM'S PERIMETER DISSOLVES, CREATING A SENSE OF
INCREASED SPACE. I ALWAYS LEAVE ONE PLANE, USUALLY THE FLOOR, AS A CONTRAST."

1. INFUSING ROOMS WITH ECLECTIC STYLEMixing furniture styles and accents helps a room reflect the owner’s personality. The key to mastering that mix is simplicity, so that a variety of wares don’t overwhelm the room. Sussex chandelier from Hinkley Lighting. www.hinkleylighting.com
2. LAYERING COMFORTABLE TEXTILES TO CREATE A PER-SONAL RETREATHectic lives have homeowners looking for soothing spaces, and a top priority is a retreat-like bedroom. Cozy comforters and other bedding in easy-care fabrics have become a master suite must. Manon bedding from Libeco Home. www.libeco.com
3. MIXING BOLD COLORS AND PLAYFUL PRINTSFind a wallpaper or painting that takes precedence in a room, and use the boldest color in the wallpaper as the base for select-ing a colorful sofa. Use plaids, stripes and small prints on accent furnishings for a lively look, with a darker pillow fabric to ground the space. Greenwich sofa and Dylan chair from Robin Bruce. www.robinbruce.com

1. ADDING MODERN EFFICIENCY Solid surface counters, streamlined cabinetry and sleek faucets keep the look simple and straightforward in the kitchen, where modern style is gaining popularity. Try juxtaposing clean lines with textural elements, such as in-dustrial pendants. Raleigh hanging fixtures from Troy Lighting. www.troy-lighting.com
2. PLAYING UP THE GEOMETRIES Freestanding tubs and kitchen islands are ideal ways to infuse new shapes into a room. Try a square island or a rectangular or oval tub to add a statement-making element. Du-ravit tub with bath cover tray. www.duravit.us
3. CREATING LIVING SPACES Kitchens and baths are no longer merely functional areas; they’re multi-purpose rooms that can be tailored to homeowner’s needs. A retreat-like bath features a chaise for lounging and attractive cabinetry that appears more as bookshelves than as a vanity. High efficiency fixtures from Kichler Lighting. www.kichler.com

OCCUPATION: Writer, blogger
and craft artist.
BEST KNOWN FOR: My blog,
Jolly Goode Gal, which I’ve been
writing for nearly a decade. I’m
also known for my liberal use
of glitter. On my blog, I show
the messy side of crafting and
raising kids, an authentic take
on the crafty life.
LIVES IN: A 1940s cottage in
historic Park Hill in North Little
Rock with my husband, our two
sons, and a dog, hedgehog and
three chickens. It’s never boring.
MY FAVORITE PART OF MY
HOUSE IS: The original fi replace
and built-in bookshelves in the
living room. I decorate the
mantle seasonally, and we often
get the fi re going and cozy up in
a pair of comfy chairs alongside
it.
I’M MOST AT HOME: In the
kitchen with a bunch of friends,
cooking a meal together,
laughing, talking and gathering
around good food and friendship.
