Living in Color
Behind its timeless brick exterior is a home that thrives on personality. For the Whitlocks, discovering this space was love at first sight. After years of searching, they walked in and immediately knew it was the perfect fit. Flooded with natural light and grounded in warm finishes, the home blends comfort with color, creative details, and a sense of fun that flows from room to room. The home’s craftsmanship is unmistakable. Hand-forged hardware enhances the exposed douglas fir timber framing, adding a warm, custom presence to every space.
The showstopping dining room features their favorite piece, a beautifully crafted natural-edge table from The Historic Phillips Forest Products Store, paired with custom upholstered chairs. It is designed for everyday family meals and is spacious enough for holiday gatherings and celebrations. The media room is another family favorite. It’s the go-to spot for movies, sports, and time with friends, especially when everyone is cheering for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Inside, the design leans modern eclectic. Mid-century inspired silhouettes blend with glam elements like velvet upholstery and brass details. Organic textures, vibrant artwork, and spirited patterns introduce a playful mix that is both stylish and fun. Color is celebrated here, whether through expressive wallpaper, sculptural lighting, or unexpected pops that create happy and engaging spaces.
Large windows frame the courtyard and create a calm connection to nature, while the thoughtful layout encourages movement through spaces that feel welcoming.
