While our editorial and art team strategize each issue and finesse every page, the process ultimately
begins in the hands of two talented pros behind the lens of their cameras, who apply their skills to
photographing our stories all around the state. It’s the nature of their business to stay behind the scenes,
but as we feature design pros this month, we’d like to turn the lens and spotlight two of our own top
talents. We’re continually thankful for their contribution to our pages.
It takes a team of professionals to put together the features we bring you each
month in print and online.

A native Arkansan, Peek was born in Fayetteville, raised in Little Rock, and later returned to
Fayetteville to study at the University of Arkansas, where he received a fine arts degree with an
emphasis in photography. After college, Peek moved back to Little Rock, where he began assisting
photographers whose work ranged from portraiture to fashion to architecture and interiors.
“Working in such a diverse range, you become a jack of all trades,” says Peek, “which was great
training in lighting and problem solving.”
After a decade in the industry, the past year has proven pivotal for Peek—he launched a
photography studio of his own, and he and his wife, Keiko, purchased their first home and celebrated
the birth of their daughter, Luca. He credits the years spent seeing his architect father build models
and work on floor plans at the kitchen table as being a formative force in his gravitating towards
Rett Peek
photographing architecture and interiors. “My mother is a speech pathologist, and there’s an orderliness and precision to her work too,”
says Peek. “I think spatially, looking at the geometries of fitting something that is three-dimensional into a two-dimensional image.”
His favorite part of photographing for At Home? “Being involved in a creative process every day,” says Peek, “traveling around the state,
meeting new people, and ultimately translating their habitat into a visual story.”
“From the first time I held a camera in my hand, I knew that was what I was going to do with my
life,” says Nolan, who was 15 at the time, living with her family in Virginia Beach where her father,
who was in the Navy, was stationed. That first camera led to experimenting with photography and
darkroom production while in high school, which earned Nolan entry to The Art Institute of Atlanta.
After school, she began working for a fashion photographer, eventually opening her own studio
representing national accounts.
The search for a slower work pace and a comfortable setting in which to raise a family brought
Nolan to Little Rock, where she taught photography at the Arkansas Arts Center Museum School
and began professionally photographing a wide range of subjects—portraits, interiors, architecture,
Nancy Nolan
gardens, food, lifestyle and more. “I immediately felt right at home in Little Rock, with the initiative people have here and the support
for the arts,” says Nolan. She lives downtown with her sons, Park and Henry, and works out of a loft studio a few blocks from their home.
Her favorite part of photographing for At Home? “Being able to record the aesthetics of each room,” she says, “and working with the
composition and light to document each homeowner’s personal style.”

Architecture Talks
Architect Mauricio Rocha of Taller de Arquitectura, Mexico City, Mexico, visits Fayetteville and Little Rock to discuss the process of creating art and architecture.
History unfolds on the tables in artist Kathy Thompson’s Fayetteville studio, where family heirlooms and mementos brought in by clients are soon to be transformed into one-of-a-kind works of art. Carefully culled through and collaged, then mounted in a handmade metal shadowbox frame, the assorted remembrances become what Thompson calls an H Box—the H stands for history—preserved for current and future generations.
Thompson, an Arkansas native who has been a studio artist for more than 30 years, developed the concept as a means of showcasing regional artifacts in commissions she undertook for Arsaga’s Espresso Café and Bordinos restaurant in downtown Fayetteville. The idea evolved into a way to help clients turn storage bins of family goods into something they could see and enjoy on a daily basis. “We all end up with boxes of cherished items sitting in our basement or closets,” says Thompson. “They become a responsibility, knowing you should do something with them but never getting to it.”
Her solution involves clients bringing in their boxes and letting her do the work of sorting through the accumulation. “I have to look at the materials,” she says, “touch them, see what they’re telling me they need.” She then creates a custom collage of the items she feels tell a tale, an artistic representation of family history encapsulated and ready to be installed. “The elements you knew were there but hardly ever looked at become a work of art and a visible part of your life,” says Thompson, “and ultimately, pass down from generation to generation.”

Advice from Jim Rule of Rule’s Antiques and Fine Books:BOOK SUPPORT
www.athomearkansas.com 19
As the son of a librarian, Jim Rule developed a passion for antique books at an early age. In the nearly 30 years since he began his collection, it naturally evolved to include bookends, which may play a supporting role but have a rich and interesting history all their own. Rule’s Antiques and Fine Books, located at I-40 Antique Center in Maumelle, now features upwards of 60 pairs.
Quite simply, their main function is to hold up books. At the beginning of the 19th century, when books were printed on an industrial scale and the public’s libraries began to grow, so too did their desire for different means of displaying and accenting them. In the United States, factories like The Bradley & Hubbard Manufacturing Company responded, adding bookends to a line of products that already included clocks and sewing machines.
These first varieties were often made in the Arts and Crafts style, an important architectural and decorative movement through the first few decades of the century. Many were cast iron with busts of renowned authors, politicians or philosophers, and engraved with quotations. They had an inspirational quality that helped “to put you in mind of some greater idea or meaning,” Rule says, as readers sifted through their libraries.
With the 1930s came the rising Art Deco influence, evident in the stylized form of a pair of horse heads in Rule’s collection. Others are Art Nouveau, many of which, including the Mayflower, were produced by art metal manufacturer Pompeian Bronze Co. Varying production techniques throughout the industry included wrapping metal over plaster, and utilizing spelter, a substitute for bronze. True bronze bookends, made in very limited numbers, are rare and valuable collectibles today.
A savvy collector, Rule keeps an eye out for the work of artists commissioned by these companies to design bookends that were as beautiful as they were functional; one such notable artist was Maxfield Parrish. Rule also notes that many were designed in keeping with the topics of the genres of the works they enclosed. Philosophical pieces, for instance, might have bookends related to weightier matters or ideas, while children’s were more playful.
Rule, whose bookbindings feature supple leather and gold engraving, is a firm believer that you can in fact judge a book by its cover. But bookends have a story to tell too. “They don’t require the upkeep that books do,” Rule says. “They have a job to do, and they do it very quietly.”

Begin with a soothing shade: Benjamin Moore’s Coastal Fog
Define the key design elements: In this room, a pair of windows created an ideal space for a bed in between. “The symmetry of the windows influenced me to use pairs of furnishings—bedside tables, lamps, ottomans at the foot of the bed,” says Smiley, “which is a look I find orderly and calming.”
Choose a focal point: A contemporary platform bed in cherry wood stays fuss-free, with no box spring or bed skirt needed. The bed’s lower height creates space for a large mirror above. “The area over a headboard can be awkwardly empty if there’s not enough room to hang art,” says Smiley.
Add texture: Elements that appeal to the senses abound, including woven bedside tables, a mix of quilted and smooth silk bedding, a shimmery silk shag rug, raffia-covered ottomans, a rugged wood lamp and a sleek silver-leaf chest.
Dress with details: Fabric shades screen sunlight while sheer draperies hung at ceiling height emphasize the windows. An acrylic on board painting by the Smileys’ son, Joe, adds color and texture. “And, of course, it’s our favorite element in the room,” she adds.
Ornate raffia-covered ottomans and a sleek Italian-designed bed are equally at home in designer Cynthia Smiley’s bedroom, a space she describes as cottage meets contemporary. “I lean toward the homey, comfortable feeling of a cottage,” she says, “but with an edge of sleek, shiny and simple.” When she and her husband, Dennis, purchased an under-construction new home in Fayetteville, she put that mix into practice and converted the bare bones bedroom into an inviting oasis of tranquility.

Professional Advice from Cynthia Smiley
22 At Home in Arkansas
Wellness is not just a buzzword for Dr. David Lipschitz, a geriatrician, author and award-winning television host of programs on aging, and his wife, Dr. Francie Wilson, an otolaryngologist. Following the advice they give their patients to reduce stress and maintain a healthy lifestyle, they sought to create their own spa-like space in their inefficient master bathroom.
Once a sunroom adjacent to the master bedroom, the area had been converted to a bath by previous owners of the couple’s early 1900s-era home in Little Rock’s Hillcrest neighborhood. While the bones of the converted room appealed to the physicians—abundant windows, adequate space, and tile walls that blended with the historical style of the house—functionality was an issue, with little storage, an unused vanity seating area, and an outdated shower and tub.
The pair enlisted the help of designer Garry Mertins, seeking his advice for freshening up the room and creating a more soothing retreat. Mertins began with the color palette, creating a custom wall color to match the existing tile and cover the room in a tranquil shade. Keeping the molding and other architectural details of the space intact, he opted for a more modern built-in vanity with contemporary hardware and fixtures, including Lefroy Brooks square counter-mount basins. “Clean lines, elegant, not fussy or ornately detailed,” says Mertins. “That kind of straightforward and simplified look is soothing in its orderliness.”
Topping the vanity with travertine marble to match the existing floor kept a narrow color palette—another secret to a soothing space, notes Mertins—and he added a wall of mirrors above to reflect the soft shades of the walls and ceiling, enhancing the play of light through the space.

You can find a soothing bathtub in a range of styles, and you don’t have to go top of the line to find a good product.
Spa features can be wonderful, but straightforward soaking tubs, such as this one from Kohler with a built-in overflow edge so you can fill it to the top, are good choices as well. Older homes can’t always accommodate the added
electrical needs of some models, and that’s an important consideration.

Reworking the existing shower with a seamless glass surround increased the room’s airiness, and removing a small bathtub and replacing it with a spa-like soaking tub provided the final means for rest and relaxation. “It’s the kind of room that is easy to decompress in now,” says Mertins. “Having a functional master bath that takes advantage of some of the features that are out there is an important way to take care of yourself.”

Classic materials, crisp colors and inviting gardens transform an aging cottage in Fayetteville into an eye-catching family home
By Diane Carroll Photography: Rett Peekbefore
After updating their early 20th-century home, renovation expert Mark Zweig and his wife, landscape designer Katie Zweig, created curvaceous garden beds to unify the house and the grounds and filled them with perennials.
28 At Home in Arkansas
“Every house has a story of how it evolved over time,” says renovation expert Mark Zweig, who has a passion for purchasing dilapidated homes and thoughtfully restoring them with a nod to the past mixed with present-day innovations.
Such was the case at his own home in Fayetteville, which he shares with his wife, Katie, a landscape designer, and their four-year-old daughter, Olive. The house began in turn of the 20th-century Victorian style, when it was a mere four-room cottage. It was added onto in the 1930s with a porch and garage, gaining a dose of Arts and Crafts detailing, followed by occasional upgrades over the next several decades. By the time the Zweigs purchased it, the look was “pure hodge-podge,” says Mark, prompting the couple to devise a cohesive, historically-inspired design plan for the home’s restoration and a family-friendly addition.
Cedar clapboard siding and shingles were chosen as key materials, with the siding painted a cottage-style buttery yellow and the shingles stained an Arts and Crafts evocative deep brown. Windows were upgraded for energy efficiency, with multi-paned wood models selected for their historical integrity. Functional shutters were built on-site, featuring an evergreen motif “to add a bit of personality,” says Mark, and painted a deep green that became an accent color. Dormer windows were added to increase natural light inside and accentuate the pitched roofline outside, and the home’s original front door was restored.
The sagging front porch required complete rebuilding, and in doing so the Zweigs added a beadboard ceiling, stone floor, enlarged stone and wood columns, as well as copper gutters and downspouts. Alongside the porch, a new chimney made from locally quarried stone created a focal point. “My goal is to fit the vernacular of the

area, and to use materials and colors that blend a house within its setting,” says Mark.
One of the elements that had originally enticed the couple to buy the house was its large lot, which allowed the Zweigs to add on 1,500 square feet of living space with enough room left over for a new patio surrounded by gardens and play areas. Adhering to the design scheme created for the original parts of the home, a mix of clapboard siding, shingles and stone form the exterior. “It’s consistent, and it looks like a house that has been added onto over time, with a cottage style façade in front transitioning to an enlarged house in the back,” says Mark.
Katie surrounded the refurbished home with curved garden beds filled with informal plantings of azaleas, perennials and evergreens that “fit the historical style,” she says, “and give us different colors or blooms in each season.” She divided the remaining rectangular backyard into three design features—a playground, a gazebo with a nearby water fountain, and a vegetable garden—as an enticing retreat for each member of the family. “We can all be out there together, relaxing, playing or gardening,” says Katie. With the gazebo sporting the yellow paint color and cedar shingles of the main house and the garden rimmed in stone, Mark notes that they tied all the elements together. “You can add new spaces and ideas,” he says, “and still be cohesive.”

Professional Advicefrom Mark and Katie Zweig
Taking design cues from your site is critical. For home exteriors, base your colors on elements you can’t change—such
as complementing existing stonework or brick. For gardens, getting to know the nuances of sun, shade and drainage on your
lot are the key to creating a maintainable landscape.

Katie created a trio of spaces in the backyard to accommodate each family member’s recreational favorites. A consistent palette of colors and materials help a new addition on the back of the house blend with the original home.

From designing, building and outfitting their homes, to living and working in them, these pros have learned a few tricks-of-the-trade along the way. Join a pair of architects and an interior designer for a tour of their own favorite spaces.
36
In husband-and-wife architects Jeff Horton and Jennifer Herron’s newly built home for their family of four, open living spaces and clean lines create a contemporary atmosphere. The pair worked with interior designer Eric Ford to select family-friendly furnishings in a mix of warm neutral tones, including sofas from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. The painting is by Horton, whose art studio is also located in the house.
37
A pair of Little Rock architects blend work, family and play in one modern, sustainable structure they call home
Interview: Tiffany Burgess Photography: Nancy Nolan Styling: Mandy Keener
38
AHIA: What were a few of the top priorities for the space?
Horton: Our main goal was to build a sustainable structure
using low-maintenance materials that have a long lifespan.
Things like metal roofing and a geothermal heating and
cooling unit were tops on our
list.
Herron: And because we plan to
stay in the home for a number
of years, we knew the low-
maintenance materials would
pay us back down the road.
AHIA: Not only are you
married, but you are also
partners in your architecture
firm. How did you decide to
split the work for a project that
was this close to home?
Horton: Our practice is based
on collaboration and this
project was no different. We
passed the plans back and forth
to each other for a full year
before we began building.
AHIA: Part of building a
sustainable residence involves
selecting materials that are
environmentally friendly as well
as local. Are there any specific products that come from
Arkansas?
Herron: Yes, the metal roofing material was fabricated in
North Little Rock at McElroy Metal and our red oak flooring
was milled in the Ozarks.
AHIA: Your business is also housed in this space. How do
you keep balance at work and in your home life with the
combined areas?
Herron: That’s a good question! No, seriously, having it all
together has made life less stressful. Our lives are fluid with
architecture and this space makes it much easier. If I’m in
the kitchen and I have an idea, I can come to the office,
jot it down or sketch, and then go right back to what I was
doing.
Horton: Our kids also keep us balanced. We can take a
break to play or help them with homework, and then come
right back to a project with a new perspective.
AHIA: You mentioned your two children, Jake, age 12, and
Ava, age 9. Did they have any input in the design?
Horton: When they saw the plans, their first question was,
“Where’s the soccer field?”
Herron: We didn’t fit that into our lot, but we did include
lofts in each of their bedrooms to give them a retreat. Every
child needs a little place of their own, and these lofts are
ideal for them.
At Home in Arkansas: How did you select the lot for your home? Were there any special considerations for
finding the right area?
Jennifer Herron of Herron Horton Architects: Zoning was actually one of the biggest factors. We needed an area that was zoned for
urban use and allowed us to have an office and our home together.
Jeff Horton of Herron Horton Architects: We love the historic district and being downtown, so when we found this lot in the heart
of the city, we knew it was right.
AHIA: Jeff, as an acclaimed painter, how did you carve out
space in the house for creating art?
Horton: Before we built, I had a studio outside our home.
My hours are sporadic, so the
idea of having it all in one
space was very attractive. The
second floor space above our
office seemed like a natural
fit. I love that I can take a
break, foster my creativity
in the studio, and then bring
that energy back to the office
when I’m tackling more
technical things like building
codes.
Herron: In the studio, the
only parameters he has are
the ones he places on himself,
so it’s amazing to see the
creativity that flows when he
begins a painting.
AHIA: Design and sustainability
are at the forefront of your work.
How did you use this knowledge
when it came to building your
own home?
Herron: For us it was a great
way to explore all the components of an environmentally
sound home. Jeff is LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) certified and sustainable practices
are a way of life in our business, but building a space for
yourself can teach you so much.
Horton: We really tried to use all the knowledge we have
and build a home that will last for years to come.

Herron and Horton designed the kitchen and living areas with an open floor plan that allows the entire family to hang out—no matter whose turn it is to cook dinner. As part of the environmentally responsible design, they used wood milled in Arkansas for the stairs and hired Architectural Ironworks of Little Rock to produce the custom metal railing.

Open shelving, crisp white walls and a high-gloss island maintain the modern look throughout the kitchen. Counters are LivingStone solid surfacing from Advanced Bath & Kitchen, the floors are polished concrete with a LEED-certified sealant, through Innovative Concrete Systems. A variety of mid-century designed chairs are from Soho Modern.

In the master bedroom, large triangular windows bring in light, reducing the family’s dependence on overhead fixtures and lamps. Custom built-in cabinets take the place of freestanding chests for a streamlined look. In the master bath, low-flow faucets and showerheads along with a dual-flush toilet carry the sustainable lifestyle throughout the home. In Ava’s room, an IKEA canopy bed, complete with flowing curtains, is a favorite feature. In Jake’s room, one of Horton’s paintings makes an eye-catching statement.

Galvalume metal walls and standing seam metal roof mix with brick and abundant windows to comprise the home’s exterior. Herron and Horton at work in their home office. The cabinetry and file drawers were originally part of one large sideboard they found at an estate sale; they separated the upper and lower cabinets and added a countertop to give the piece a new life and purpose. Skylights and several large windows provide plenty of natural light in Horton’s art studio, housed above the couple’s office.
45
Professional Advicefrom Jennifer Herron and Jeff Horton
How you position a new home on a site is a critical element, and it’s well worth consulting with an architect early on to get this step right. Siting determines your
access to sunlight, which ultimately influences heating and cooling needs for the life of your home, and even your overall wellbeing.

An interior designer outfits her West Little Rock home with a well-curated combination of colors, materials and textures
Interview: Paulette Pearson Styling: Diane Carroll Photography: Nancy Nolan
www.athomearkansas.com 47
In the living room of Mona and Don Thompson’s West Little Rock home, a fireplace features custom cast stone by Pinnacle PreCast Company with an aged finish by Angelfish Studios. Parkinson Building Group created a series of arched doorways with Honduran mahogany doors leading to the patio. The furnishings and paintings are antiques Thompson has collected through the years.
48
A terracotta relief worked into the backsplash sets the tone in the kitchen, where Thompson’s preference for muted tones shows in the Texas limestone walls, dark-walnut stained hickory wood floors and faux-finished island with a granite countertop, which holds refrigerated drawers on both sides. The range is by Viking and the barstools are upholstered with an antique rug. Black-and-white tile in the bar area is by Walker Zanger. Facing page: Corner bookcases in the family room hold built-in window seats.

AHIA: As a designer, did you
have a difficult time settling
on a look for yourself?
MT: The look I had no
problem with, but I
completely agree that it’s
easier to make decisions for a
client. I am fortunate to have
a mentor in designer Tom
Chandler, who helped when
we were deciding how the
house would be situated on
the lot. My sister and business
partner, Talena Ray, is also a
source of inspiration. If we’re
not designing for a client,
we’re working for ourselves.
We love finding things to
incorporate into the home.
AHIA: In terms of this
project, where did you begin?
MT: I actually drew up the
initial plans, and our builder,
Bill Parkinson, worked with
a draftsman to see them
through. Thinking about the
design, the kitchen is where
I started. I knew I wanted a
screen door that would lead
to an herb garden and let in
the breeze. I also wanted open
shelving and a big kitchen
window.
AHIA: Textured walls and
stone play prominently
throughout.
MT: The walls are a sheet rock
texture that’s been painted
and glazed, so it varies from room to room, from wall to
wall. The rock is a Texas limestone. Once we fell in love with
it, we had a hard time saying no. I like its softness, color,
texture, cut—it plays so well with everything, whether the
colors are neutral or rich. I wanted the rock accents, and
once we found a complementary paint color, everything just
kind of fell into place.
AHIA: Arches seem to be a recurring theme as well.
MT: Especially with the solid mahogany doors. They’re 10
feet tall and three inches thick, and we had them special
ordered from Honduras. They were one of the first things we
purchased for our home.
AHIA: Moving from the larger main living spaces to the
master bedroom, how did you manage to give it such an
intimate, cozy feel?

At Home in Arkansas: What plans did you have for the home you and your husband, Don, built in Little
Rock’s Valley Falls Estates?
Mona Thompson of Providence Ltd. Interior Design: I wanted it to feel European but not dressy; just open, warm and comfortable.
MT: The last thing we wanted
was extra space, so we
decided to have a smaller
bedroom. It’s not really
large, but it’s big enough.
At one point, the whole wall
was going to be windows,
but when we ended up with
two small windows I decided
to do draperies all the way
across. The headboard was
custom-made with an antique
rug I found on a buying trip.
The rug was beautiful but
it had holes, so I used it to
upholster the headboard and
the pillows.
AHIA: Any last tips on how
you achieved your home’s
elegant yet comfortable
design?
MT: Focus on the color and
texture. I prefer warm, muddy
colors to brighter colors, and
I mixed materials like plaster,
wood and stone. I love to
place something really dressy
next to something that’s not.
It’s a definite mix of things,
but it’s a planned mix.

57
Professional Advicefrom Mona Thompson
Your home should appear as if it has evolved over time, achieved by mixing rustic with elegant, antique with new, and even combining
contemporary art with antiques. Texture is also extremely important—don’t be afraid to intermingle iron, wood and stone, and add depth with
textural textiles like velvet and linen.For additional tips and images, visit www.athomearkansas.com

What are DURAthin veneers?
DURAthin veneers are very thin porcelain pieces that are custom-made to adhere directly to the front of teeth without grinding or shaving! This means that for some people, we can transform their smile without even drilling on theirnatural teeth.
Do they look natural?
Perhaps you’ve seen some smiles that are obviously created by a dental technician, and look fake or contrived. In
contrast, DURAthin veneers can create a beautiful, confident smile that looks real and natural. The secret lies in
artistically designing the shapes of the veneers, in layering the porcelain so it looks natural, and in selecting the
appropriate techniques so the end result does not look thick or bulky.
The smile you’ve always wanted may be just a phone call away.
Call Dr. Cooper to see if DURAthin veneers can give you an exceptional smile.479-968-4477

“My collections are eclectic, and the criteria is that the items are either rare or beautiful. I’m simply
their caretaker until the next generation.”
Bringing his work home with him is a daily occurrence for Davis Tillman, whose antique-filled
loft is located above his family’s namesake antiques shop in downtown Hot Springs. “I’ve
always enjoyed surrounding myself with timeless treasures,” says Tillman, pictured in his
library amid his collection of rare and unusual objects, including theatrical memorabilia.
