Fall Decor Inspiration: At Home in Arkansas front porch feature!

Happy October!!

Fall is my absolute favorite season, of which October always feels like the official kick-off to me. It’s the best month of the year in my book, which is why I am especially thrilled to have a fall decor project included in this month’s issue of At Home in Arkansas magazine! Snatch up a copy and mosey on by their website to read the full feature – aptly titled “Welcome to Fall!” – for more lovely photos and fall decor ideas!

Here’s a preview of “Look #1: Cheerful, Warm, Eclectic” – designed my moi and styled with the expert assistance of Editor in Chief, Chip Jones, topped off with glorious photography by Rett Peek!

Behind the scenes bonus material! (Crafting, coffee consumption, and amature photography by moi as well…)

AYC Quilts and PillowsNothing like a few handmade Kantha quilts and pillows made from recycled Indian saris to warm up a space! Available at my favorite yoga studio, Arkansas Yoga Collective.

Thanks for hanging out on the porch with me. This was fun. It’s going to be a great fall!

If you enjoyed our Before & After feature in At Home in Arkansas this month, you’ll definitely want to click on over to their blog today for a bonus feature from this family friendly kitchen design!

They will show you how we built in flexible accessories to be able to swap out styles in a pinch, creating two different looks and feels. Hopefully you’ll get some ideas on how this could apply in your home!

Kitchen Remodel Before & After Reveal, Part 1: Before

That’s a wrap!

This was a very special week for me!

Why? Because I had the honor and privilege of working on not one, but TWO incredible shoots. One film and one photo – both chart topping highlights of my year! I’m usually the quintessential anti-morning person, but I was actually chomping at the bit with excitement to wake between 3am and 5:45am five days in a row.

So I’m kicking up my heels this weekend, celebrating a very rewarding 60+ hour week!

The bulk of the week was spent putting my styling skills to work designing and dressing sets for a furniture commercial shoot with 5 Star Productions. Film opportunities don’t come up all the time in the Little Rock area, so I was beyond thrilled to be included in this project and to get the chance to work with such an awesome crew!

As soon as the film shoot wrapped each day, I’d switch gears and spend time preparing for the Friday photo shoot with At Home in Arkansas. This particular shoot was really special to me, as it features one of my very favorite kitchen projects that I’ve been so excited to share with you all! The shoot went amazingly, thanks to my super supportive clients and the pros in charge: Editor in Chief, Chip Jones, and Photographer, Nancy Nolan!

For more behind the scenes photos from both shoots, be sure to check out my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter feeds.

Stay tuned for more info surrounding my kitchen project that will be  featured in a spring issue of At Home in Arkansas!

Happy 10 years to #kjlartanddesign ! 🥳🥹🙏🏼💝 A couple of nights ago we got to celebrate this company milestone with clients, vendors, family and friends who’ve supported us and been such an amazing part of our journey, and what a sweet celebration it was! 

Thank you to the incredible team at @boulevardbreadco that helped us host this once-in-a-lifetime event - there’s nowhere else it could have been, cause y’all have been our favorite “office” away from the office for many many meetings, work sessions, coffee breaks, and the like! 🥹

I am still pinching myself that I’ve gotten to experience the gift of being my own boss for 10 years now since starting up this start-up. They say “the Lord has a plan” and this company is one of the biggest examples of my life of that proving true - I wouldn’t have ever taken the leap or pictured myself as a business owner without His gracious leading, one small step and leap at a time. What an unexpected, faith leaping, hard work, sweat and tears, laughs and joys, rewarding, wild, growing and expansive journey I never planned to take it has been! My heart can’t contain all of the joy and wonder and gratitude over it all. 

There’s many more treasures of photos where these came from (can you tell which were the iPhone snaps at the end vs. the stellar event photography of our very own @forrest_addison_roberts / @addisonjones.co 😂🙏🏼🙌🏼 What a guy ❤️) as the gram limits me to 10, but will share more soon. 

Thank you to each and every one who came out to celebrate with us! Meant more to me than you’ll ever know. 🥲💝 

Thank you to my wonderful team @emmilyy23 @paulawalkertoney @forrest_addison_roberts without who I wouldn’t be here / would be a frazzled, running on fumes, forever hot mess. 😂😭🙏🏼 God handpicked each of you for this team. I am the most fortunate to get to work with each of you!!

Thank you also to @field_andflower for the gorgeous floral arrangements!! 💐 And @justpeachylr for making all my branded balloon garland dreams come true. 

I could say so much more, and thank so many more people, but the gram will also cut me off character count wise soon so - I’ll pause my gushing for now. 😅

Love y’all. ❤️

Finally had a client go for it and order it, and unwrapping it yesterday felt like a long-awaited Christmas! 🥹🤩 #worththewait #ilovelamp

I couldn’t let the year end without narrowing down a few favorite captures from such a special weekend earlier in December (which overlaps with our elopement anniversary now, but anniversary photos wouldn’t fit here too ha!) celebrating the love of my life. 

Thankful for such sweet friends to laugh and celebrate with. Thankful for keeping our birthday tradition of cake + wine in a cave, come rain or shine. Thankful to get to celebrate my favorite adventure partner for another year! Thanks for picking me to host your parties for the rest of your life. It’s a grande honor, and you’re the easiest to want to celebrate. I love you!

It is a delight to work with Kathryn LeMaster. She is a good listener who has been able to help us transition into a smaller home while still keeping the essence of our family intact.

- CINDI C.

My husband and I decided to update our house focusing on the kitchen and bathrooms. We were so impressed from the beginning with Kathryn! She was easy to work with and took our vision and made it all come together! She was extremely professional and we highly recommend her. Thanks Kathryn!! We couldn't be happier!!!

- LAURA D.

I have been doing business with Kathryn for several years, where she had played an integral role to enhance the quality and appeal of the visual impact of our furniture in TV commercial s. She independently picks products that perfectly match each commercial. She is also an absolute pleasure to work with. She is flexible when needed, and always has a positive disposition.

- LAWRENCE ZIGERELLI, PRESIDENT/CEO, FFO HOME

We asked Kathryn to create sets for a food shoot with multiple items. She created sets with for each dish and had them passed them off with the client who was out of town. She was extremely organized and methodical about how she purchased and approved each set. Not only was her work exceptional, her presence made the client feel at ease.

- DERO SANFORD, OWNER, THINKDERO

We highly recommend Kathryn. She listened to us as her clients and executed ideas based upon our design style. We had bought a new house and asked her to help us furnish, design, and style It. We appreciated her detailed drawings and ability to "show" us the vision and plan. She is quick to respond and allows for flexibility based upon timeline needs. Once deciding together on budget, she works toward that goal. She is a lot of fun to work with!

- CHRISTY H.

Kathryn assisted me in styling and accessorizing our new home. She nailed my design ideas and style based on the questionnaire and my comments. I was amazed at how she was able to match my style exactly! It would have taken me years to accomplish what she accomplished in one day. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.
