Okay y’all! This post is feeling long overdue... I can’t believe we have never put together conceptual designs for Tennessee! I envisioned these spaces to have that classic southern heritage feel to it. It has me excited to take on our next renovation project. There are just so many different concepts I want to try out.
If you’ve been following for a few years you know that our signature style really started out in Bend where it’s all about a cozy mountain with a country “twang” look. That still is very much a speciality of ours but I’m a firm believer in designing for where you live and pulling inspiration from the surrounding environment.
This style feels very true to the rolling and lush hills of Nashville, but also pulling from the old wild west aesthetic of Central Oregon... its our take on a southern heritage home. I hope you like it as much as we do.
Take a look around and comment ‘TOUR’ if you want the list of things that really complete these spaces!
Finally using our kitchen... and it feels so good 🥹
We don’t take this for granted for a second! Having a fully working kitchen again truly feels like such a gift. It’s always been the heart of our home, and after so many months without it, being back in this space feels extra special.
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know Derrick and I are major foodies.
And over the years, he’s become such an incredible cook... his recipes just keep getting better and better (lucky me ☺️).
There’s something about cooking at home, slowing down, and gathering around a meal that just feels like us again.
Would you guys want to see more of what we’re cooking, like we used to share?
5 stars. I wanted to make our guests feel comfortable and welcome and a hotel inspired bed seemed like the perfect idea.
All of this bedding is from @onequince , comment ‘BED’ and we’ll send you everything that’s linked on our LTK.
This look isn’t for the “anti-pillows” person - in fact it’s all about the layering for that plush, all-white and cozy hotel inspired look.
Here’s how to get this look in your home:
- Start with smooth, wrinkle-free sheets (a quick steam makes all the difference) I love the classic embroidered trim on these I used.
- Tuck your sheets tightly (especially the corners) for that tailored finish
- Layer in a plush duvet or comforter for that full, cloud-like feel (I like to stuff a duvet cover with an insert thats one size larger)
- And don’t skip the pillow layer technique (this is key!): I stacked four total for sleeping, two euro shams for structure, two decorative shams, and an oversized accent lumbar pillow (ours measures 18 x 42 in @LeeJofa fabric) to finish it off
Save for the next time you want a bed refresh!
Here’s how to bring everything you love together. Without the chaos!
Comment ‘LOVE’ and I’ll send you exactly how we define your base, choose your lead style, and mix in the rest so it actually works.
Most people think they have to choose one style... but that’s usually not the problem. The issue is trying to make everything feel equally important.
If you want your home to feel collected (not confusing), you need a clear lead... and then layer in the rest.
The difference between a home that looks good... and one that feels good?
It’s what your hands touch every day.
Plumbing fixtures.
Cabinet hardware.
Upholstery.
These aren’t always the most exciting decisions, but they’re the ones you interact with constantly. And trust me, you notice the difference. If you’re going to invest anywhere, start here.
Save this + pass it along to someone designing a space right now!
