LITTLE ROCK LITTLE ROCK MLH Designs, Inc. Curtis Contracting, Inc. trendsetters **150 word count here** Interior design is the “perfect blend of architecture and art” for designer Meridith Hamilton Ranouil, CKD, Allied ASID, of MLH Designs. Though she initially thought she wanted to be an architect, Meridith “fell in love and never looked back” after an interior design class in college. She opened MLH Designs in 2003, and since then, Meridith has won multiple awards and achieved the level of Certified Kitchen Designer. Meridith is often hired in the early planning stages of a space. “I love collaborating with architects and contractors to perfect the space planning and kitchen and bathroom design of a home,” Meridith says. From there, she helps select fixtures and finishes as well as the finishing touches, like fabrics and art, to create exactly the home the client is envisioning. “I take my clients’ style and tastes and put it through my filter,” Meridith says. “The end result is typically clean and simple.” **TWO LINE HEADER HERE** I S THE ONLY KIND OF HEADER THAT WILL FIT Photo by Molly Anne Sandefur trendsetters Frank Curtis of Curtis Contracting, Inc. has more than 30 years of experience building and remodeling homes.
