This week I stumbled upon a 2009 home tour from At Home Arkansas, and it was so pretty I just had to share. My apologies for the photo quality… the images are a bit blurry, but oh what a beautiful and timeless home! Located in Harrison, Arkansas, it belongs to designer Carolyn Grisham who had always dreamed of owning a white house with white columns and black shutters. Her traditional Southern style blends several different periods, including the British and French Colonial era, a style that she likens to “Out of Africa,” her favorite movie. “I tend to mix in a little exotica with more traditional pieces,” she told At Home Arkansas. Let’s take a look inside!
Such a lovely home, and while it was published in 2009, there is not a single thing dated about it. Proof that the classics never go out of style!

LOVE the house! Do you by chance happen to know what the crystal pattern is on the dining room table? I always enjoy your blogs! Best, Melanie McKenzie
I was delighted to read your post today. Carolyn was the proprietor of a lovely home decor shop, Winterberry Home in Rogers, Arkansas. She had the most fabulous dinnerware, bedding, jewlery, furniture, and home decor. I was fortunate to work for her on a part time basis and enjoyed getting to know her personally. Thank you for sharing her lovely Harrison home.
My mornings always start with a cup of coffe and reading your wonderfully well done blog posts. Thank you for your amazing writing and sharing your skills.
Love this Home! Very classy! I got many ideas from this post. Thank you
Charming! Classic never goes out of style. 11 years later, and you wouldn’t have to do a thing to it.
Love this home and I feel the same, a white house with black shutters and columns, sublime! And I love that she used Anna Candles which sadly you can’t get anymore, the stripes are just whimsical enough so things don’t get too serious.
Love this! The classics never disappoint, do they? This is timeless.
What a beautiful home and we loved seeing all the heirloom quality furniture.
Beautiful home and setting. The rooms reveal just why I so love the classics…done correctly, they never go out of style! I can’t tell you how much I look forward to all your lovely posts that give me hope for a return to elegance in our homes. I think the tide is finally starting to turn…AMEN! Hope you have a lovely day.
Hi Bobbi,

A beautiful, timeless home . I love her use of cane/rattan pieces and Persian rugs. That Flemish chandelier in the dining room is stunning. You can buy similar stripey candles in the U.K. from susiewatsondesigns.co.uk. Thank you Andrea for all your wonderful posts. They are the highlight of my week. Best wishes always, Maria.
Thank you so much Maria! And I appreciate your kind words. 🙂
