Emily Reeves
Where I live: I have lived in my house in the Heights neighborhood of Little Rock for 13 years. I co-habitate with three dogs: Betty (a black Lab), Blanche (a blond Lab mix) and Beatrice (a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel). Recently, I added my fiance, Matthew Dean, and his 7-year-old daughter, Sophie, to the mix -- along with her fish (Gilly) and gerbil (Alex). We have a much-needed addition to the home planned in the near future.
Occupation: I am the director of digital (innovation and insight planning) at Stone Ward.
My favorite space is: My living room.
Why: This cozy living room is where I spend all my time. It is a happy place with a fireplace, overstuffed furniture, a wall of built-in bookcases, lots of family photographs and favorite pieces of art. Although I like to curl up on the sofa to read or watch a movie, Beatrice likes it when I get on the floor and play with her. The signature piece in the room is an oversize leather chaise lounge that my friends call the "Magic Carpet Ride" for its shape and comfort. The living room is warm and welcoming, and I enjoy entertaining friends in it.
If I could make one change to improve this space, I would: Make it bigger! Though I enjoy the coziness of the small room, it feels cramped when friends are gathered for Super Bowl watch parties.
