Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.


As little girls, we imitate our mothers by playing dress up and applying gobs of makeup. i did my best to look as pretty as my mom, and loved stomping around the house in her shoes, lipstick smeared across my face. the thrill of playing dress up hasn’t waned with age, whether for date night with my husband or a girls’ night out. though, as an adult, the hours spent in front of my mom’s mirror are now diminished to pulling on a favorite dress while brushing my teeth and slipping into a pair of confidence-boosting heels. You leave the house feeling like a million bucks until you do a quick lipstick check and realize you’ve put on two different earrings!

in this issue, our very talented editorial team has simplified dressing up for adults. Don’t miss our fall fashion feature, complete with beautiful clothing, jewelry and accessories that will make any girl feel like a princess, no matter the occasion.

With all this focus on fall fashion, it’s only appropriate that we would feature a collection of purses from little rock artist Anita Davis. this collector has handbags from every decade in any style. i wish i had one of those purses in my closet.

Yet as many At Home readers know, great style isn’t limited to your closet. the Northwest Arkansas home of Jane and Ben Meade is elegant, yet comfortable and timeless—like a Chanel jacket or a perfect white button-down. little rock designer Debi Davis is no stranger to the power of fashion. she says herself that the Hargis home, featured on page 31, is a classic mix of luxury and affordability—a Dolce & gabbana top with gap jeans. And the cozy condo susan and Kevin Walsh of Bear Hill interiors renovated for their mother? Proof that the right accessories can amp up any space.

GROWING UP IN MURFREESBORO, Anita Davis learned how to spot a diamond in the rough in no time. A collector by nature she has long been passionate about fl ea markets and searching for vintage hankies, accessories and jewelry. However, she seems to love the hunt for a purse more than anything.

“As a child I was always intrigued by both my mother’s and grandmother’s purses. I remember my grandmother kept her small pocketbook close to her at all times,” says Anita. Similarly, she remembers the importance of her mother’s handbag and how it was a refl ection of who she was.

After leaving the state’s diamond capital, Anita spent several decades in Camden and clearly remembers seeing a white lace

purse in one of the town’s store windows. This would become the fi rst true piece of her collection. However, it was nearly 20 years later before she began to augment the group, which has now grown into a wide and varied array of more than 2,500 bags.

“I don’t always go for the most elegant or prestigious purses. I’m usually drawn to the ones with a fun theme or bright color,” admits Anita. Among her collection she has everything from plastic purses to a cat-themed bag. Almost every time period of the 1900s through present day is represented, too. Whether it is a magazine clutch from the 1970s, a 1950s Lucite bucket purse or a Cinderella-pumpkin-inspired evening bag from the 1960s, a range of dates and styles are included.

In Pursuit of PursesA LITTLE ROCK PURSE COLLECTION LEADS TO

A LASTING LEGACY FOR WOMEN THROUGH THE AGES


For Anita, the collection came to be about the importance of the purse and all that it symbolized. “A woman’s purse shows a lot about her,” she says. “It can show her interests, how she carries herself and her style. Each individual purse can be a reflection of its owner’s identity,” she adds. As she began to gather the purses she discovered many people who had similar feelings about their own or a loved one’s purse.

These conversations coupled with her passion for seeking out the bags led to the idea of an exhibit with purses from every decade, 1900-2000. She began the project in 2004 with the help of two other women she found through Kent State University. Through their diligent search for handbags, and the stories that accompany them, a traveling exhibit known as “The Purse and the Person: A Century of Women’s Purses” was born and has visited numerous cities around the U.S. including a two-term run at the Historic Arkansas Museum in 2006.

One of her favorite pieces that appeared in the exhibit was a basket-style purse she carried in high school. There was even a small battery-powered fan she remembered using as a 13-year-old girl. This

piece traveled along with the purse as one of the accessories, as did odds and ends from some of her mother’s purses.

With a collection this large, it may be unfathomable to think Anita doesn’t carry a different bag everyday. In past years, she did change out her handbags frequently; however, she admits she is quite attached to a small black, triangular-shaped bag that has been her pocketbook of choice for several years now.

Currently Anita is on the hunt for a denim bag from the late 1960s or early 1970s. “I’d love to have one with some original patches from the war protests era,” she says. “I would also love to have one of the fringed purses from that time period. We had these in the exhibit and I would love to add one to my personal collection,” she says.

As for the rest of her collection, Anita has plans to recreate a portion of the exhibit, including accessories and images of Arkansas women, to showcase in a gallery downtown. As owner of The Bernice Garden and an avid supporter of Little Rock’s South Main area, Anita feels this will be the perfect complement to the neighborhood’s recent renovation, as well as a lasting legacy for the women of Arkansas.


“Each individual purse can be a refl ection of its

owner’s identity.”

As the proprietors of BeAr-hill interiors, brother-and-sister design team Kevin and susan Walsh enjoy what they do. however, it took a move by their mother, Anita Creviston, to push them to design extremes. susan recalls, “on the same day that the contractors were finishing up, carpet was being installed, drapes were being hung. Kevin was in hot springs packing up all of our mom’s things. it was a whirlwind, just like the tV show, ‘extreme Makeover’.” in four short weeks, the siblings had completely remodeled and updated their mother’s one-bedroom condo. At the same time, they also managed to pack her belongings and relocate her from hot springs to little rock.

naturally, it was a labor of love. the brother-and-sister design duo wanted Anita closer and the condo provides exactly the space she needs. While the entire unit was remodeled, the dining area, living room, and bedroom showcase the highlights of this before-and-after project.

“Mother wanted to use things that she already owned and she wanted some color, so that inspired us,” explains susan. shades of green provide vibrancy to the soothing palette. for the dining room, Anita already owned two hickory

Chair dining chairs. Two more were ordered to round out the set and all were recovered in soft blue with a contrasting ivory cord. The plates hung on the wall were part of their mother’s pottery collection. The chandelier, an old gas lamp, was converted to electric and painted a warm neutral. In addition to providing design services, Bear-Hill Interiors also has a great retail selection. The Walshes used fi nds from their shop to complete the design, including the dining table, which they repainted to match the room’s decor. Aquamarine Schumacher wallpaper and mushroom gray carpet provide the perfect canvas to let the individual pieces shine.

In the living room, a compact Lee Industries sofa was paired with chairs Anita already owned. The rattan coffee table opens up to provide storage. Robin’s egg blue pottery was converted into matching lamps for the end tables. Lauren Lachance botanical

prints display against the back wall, and Anita’s glass and crystal accessories twinkle on the bookshelf. Ikat-fabric pillows add another pop of blue to the sofa.

A brighter shade of blue shines against the upholstered headboard and luxurious bed linens used in the bedroom. The solid faux bois silk pillows by Oly Studio pair nicely with the intricately patterned oblong cushion. The silken sheen of the lampshade adds more texture and the Chinese Chippendale armchair provides a delicate contrast to the solidity of the bed. A vintage sketch and artwork from a local artist add to the corner vignette.

Was Mom happy with the result? Says Susan, “She was very pleased. Who wouldn’t love it? To have someone remodel and decorate your new home and then pack you up and move you in...it’s what every woman dreams of.”

“Who wouldn’t love it? It’s what every

In the bedroom, the Walshes added texture to the luxurious bed with faux bois silk pillows by Oly Studio and a coverlet by N.C. Souther.

livable luxuryLittle Rock designer Debi Davis updates a stately

Pleasant Valley home with a wash of soft neutrals, no-fuss fabrics, and plenty of timeless appeal

Interview: Kathleen Bridges Photography: Nancy Nolan

33

At Home in Arkansas: The overall feel of this home is opulent and elegant, without seeming too feminine or fussy. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind the design?Designer Debi Davis: My clients, David and Linda Hargis, are the seventh family to occupy this stunning Georgian-style home. The house had been modified and updated over the years, but the architectural integrity had always been protected. When David and Linda purchased the home, it had an “Old World” look, with dark cocoa walls and beautiful antiques. We wanted to lighten the space and encourage the rooms to flow together, while still showcasing the character and intent of the architect’s original design.It makes sense, then, that you chose such a fresh, neutral palette. We really wanted something that would stand the test of time. I prefer for colors to whisper instead of shout. Even though a monochromatic palette like this one—warm creams, butter, and very light beiges—is more difficult to execute, it’s something that will never go out of style. It’s like clothing: orange or turquoise might be “in” now, but you won’t see them anywhere next year. Instead of something shocking, we chose to wrap all of the walls in our custom color—a soft, yummy cream—and then accented with complementary shades.The home has plenty of intricate, architectural millwork, which looks to be hued in the same creamy colors as the walls. Did you paint the trim the same color?All of that gorgeous trim was already in the house, but we wanted it to blend in more seamlessly. Instead of making a giant statement, painting it the same color as the walls let the millwork’s beauty come through more subtly. It’s not as predominant now, which feels right, since I don’t like rooms to look like a jigsaw puzzle.

livable luxury

Nail-head trim and carved wooden accents add a dose of masculinity to damask-covered chairs and heirloom china. Facing page: European antiques, contemporary art and a mix of iron and gilded patinas mingle in the dining room. The luxe Scalamandre silk on the custom window panels is tempered by an understated, cream-on-cream palette. Previous page: In the formal living room, Davis softened a traditional sofa with cozy chenille by Mark Alexander.

34

We understand that every room in the home—from the entry to the pool house—was freshened up. Were there any specific lifestyle needs that had to be taken into consideration when planning your design?Though David and Linda are empty-nesters, they have four grandchildren who visit on a regular basis. They’re also big entertainers and host many fundraisers and social events at their home. Linda wanted a design scheme that was timeless and pretty, but that was also extremely livable and durable. Any fabric or finish had to be able to stand up to kids, dogs and lots of visitors.And it looks like you used a lot of fabric. Tell us how you were able to find beautiful materials that could still sustain a little wear and tear.Elegant and comfortable can most definitely coexist. We used durable cottons and linens in more casual spaces like the kitchen and the den, and saved dressier

35

In the sitting room, the owners’ collections are displayed alongside strong, architectural pieces and sculptural mirrors for added interest. A hand-painted Italian chest from Bonnie Blackmon Antiques holds court between the windows. Facing page, clockwise from left: In the formal living room, a sculptural French panel from Davis’ line of Reborn Relics hangs above the fireplace. The monochromatic scheme continues into the sitting room. The scale of the grand entryway required an equally grand chandelier: a striking brass piece Davis imported from Italy.

fabrics for the draperies. That being said, we still tried to keep the draperies simple and understated—just because something is silk doesn’t mean it has to be formal. You can stick a casual pattern on a silk curtain, or wrap a comfy sofa in lush, soft chenille. Similarly, a damask pattern on cotton is interesting and textural, yet still functional and accessible.We noticed a similar mix of materials in the light fixtures and furnishings you chose throughout the house. Was it difficult to make these feel cohesive from room to room?It’s definitely possible to mix gold patinas, bronzes and irons without feeling like you’re in the Louvre, but it has to have a purpose. For instance, if I used an iron curtain rod, it’s because an antique Italian chest in the room had ornate, iron hardware. The chandeliers are a mix of carved wood, crystal and bronze, but they all work together because we kept the coloration and the style consistent. I wanted to avoid that “around the world in 20 rooms” phenomenon, when each room is designed as its own entity. Even in the guest room, we took into consideration the overall look and feel of the other rooms so that it wouldn’t seem out of place.We love the artwork and accessories you’ve combined in vignettes throughout the house. Are the homeowners art collectors?They collect both contemporary art and Art Deco glass. David also paints in his spare time. Their desire to place their favorite pieces in prominent places inspired a lot of the design. In the living room, we brought the glass pieces out of cabinets and set them on the bookshelves, offsetting them with antique books in cream and caramel colors. We mixed the paintings with antique panels, as I always want a combination of art and architectural elements. You’ve effortlessly combined old and new, formal and fun. What’s the draw for mixing these different styles?It’s just so much more interesting. A house should talk to you—it should tell your story. I love to see old, vintage things combined with something luxe and shiny, and then a terra cotta pot next to it all. It’s the décor equivalent of a Dolce & Gabbana top with a pair of Gap jeans: when it’s done right, it looks absolutely fabulous.

The more casual kitchen features cotton toiles and breezy linens in a warming buttercream. Family pottery hued in cobalt blue adds a pop of color to the updated cabinets. Facing page: Cus-tom bedding made by Nancy Osborne graces the serene master suite, while the twin guest beds are layered in linen coverlets from Horchow.

Jane’s love of art is evidenced throughout the home, including a sculpture created by Little Rock’s Diana Ashley from Boswell Mourot Fine Art. The vintage movie projector in the sunroom sits atop a CTH by Sherill Occasional mother-of-pearl chest. A curved staircase recalls the elegance of Hollywood’s black-and-white era with a banquette that was custom-built to fit the space.

At Home in Arkansas: What was the home like before the transformation?Homeowner Jane Meade: The house had been redone beautifully five years before and was in excellent shape. My quandary was finding the style I wanted the house to follow. This home has quite a history of past owners.The home was built by a well-known physician from the Hathcock family in the 1930s. Through the years it has been home to several notable citizens including G. David Gearheart, chancellor of the University of Arkansas, who grew up in this house, and Frank Broyles who lived here with his family when they first moved to town in the early 1960s. I always love to know who has lived in our homes previously. What did you want to change about the home through the redesign?Since my children are grown, I decided to have a formal house. I used a lot of whites and creams and more fragile fabrics than I would have used in the past.

What influenced the redesign?I saw this house like the black and white movies my mom watched on Saturday afternoon when she ironed—those movies set in the 1920s, where the women wear ivory gowns and the men wear tuxedos. My husband Ben is an independent filmmaker and was in academic film for 20 years. He spent time in Hollywood working for Universal Pictures early in his career. The house reminded him of an Orson Welles-style home where the world is in black and white. Ben also believed some influence in design came from German Expressionism, the film structure that preceded film noir in the States during and following WWII. This structure is known for stark black and whites, natural shadows and artistic lighting. Were there elements original to the home that you wanted to make sure were preserved?I always like to keep a home’s original elements, if I can. I tried to use as many of the original light fixtures as I could, and I like to keep original tile. I did replace the tile in one bathroom and in the kitchen. I love old tile

42

patterns and it was easy with the designs available now to put in new tile that could have been here since the 1930s. I used the existing cabinets and countertops, and added a backsplash and new floor to pull it into the era. I love all the arches in the house and the curved walls, so I kept those and had them finished in Venetian plaster. The fireplace is also original to the home. I took off some trim and had it painted high-gloss black. What else was important to you in redesigning this home’s style?I love beautiful fabrics, and draperies don’t get any wear, so it is a good place to use fabrics you love but wouldn’t have on upholstered pieces. In the living room and dining room, I wanted the drapes to be like a bride’s ivory wedding dress. There are small covered buttons that act as the trim.

Because the home had been redone five years earlier, was there anything that was difficult for you to let go?It was the hardest to tear out and replace the floor. It was a tile that went beautifully with a more French design. As nice as the tile was, the kitchen had to be changed to fit the new 1920s’ look. In addition to this home, you’ve redone two historical homes in Little Rock. What different choices did you make for this home than you have in the past?I usually use a lot more antiques, but I couldn’t use many old pieces here. The look needed to be really sharp. I did go to New York to an antique dealer who specializes in pieces from the 1920s and 1930s. I bought a pair of chairs that I use in the den and the secretary in the living room that are authentic pieces from that time.

An Ochre Light Drizzle chandelier by R Hughes adds to the high-drama feel of the kitchen. In the breakfast room, Precedent chairs by Sherrill Furniture surround a dining table from Room & Board. Damask Dedar wallpaper makes a comfortable space feel high end.

DANIELLE VAUGHNAt Home with

OCCUPATION: Wife, mom, and Director of Professional Relations at Oral & Facial Surgery Center

BEST KNOWN FOR: Co-Founder of NWA Fashion Week

LIVES IN: We just purchased our fi rst home last year. Located in west Fayetteville the home has 20-foot vaulted ceilings that provide the perfect space to display our art collection. My brother is a local artist in Fayetteville, and both my husband and I enjoy painting, so our home has become quite the gallery.

MY FAVORITE PART OF MY HOUSE IS: Our dining room and my bedroom. Our dining room table is special because it’s the fi rst piece of furniture we purchased together and I love the mid-century modern style. We always make a point to eat dinner every night as a family, which is the highlight of my day. Our bedroom is another great space where we spend a lot of time together as a family. Since we invested in a king size bed, we spend a lot of evenings piled up in the bed watching movies together.

I’M MOST AT HOME: On Sundays. After church, we always have family dinner in the afternoon. My husband and I cook a great meal and enjoy time with our daughter, my brother and any friends or family who happen to show up. I grew up in a large Italian family and we always spent Sunday afternoons at my grandparents’ house, so it’s special to be able to carry on that tradition with my family and friends.
