Tennessee Greek Revival (with a little cowboy swagger) 🤠🏛️

Now that we’re here, we’re wide-eyed at everything-front-porch style, moody hotel bars, denim blues, burnished brass, live music drifting down the block.
This month’s location design is our love letter to the South: crisp columns, iron lanterns, luxe textures, and a wink of ranch-polished but not precious. Oh how I love the vibes here!! I hope you love some ideas we have pulled to get you inspired too.

Comment ‘TENNESSEE’ and we’ll DM the palette, textiles, lighting and vintage goods to pull this mood at home.

Our LTK has the full Location collection-unique, vintage, soulful finds curated to play well together. Save this for later

Want your home guest ready for fall and the holidays without feeling try-hard. Comment ‘RANCH’ and I’ll DM you the link to browse the items on our website, from our Mountain Modern Ranch edit—designer-curated, mix of high/low, and ready to shop for the whole home.

Think boutique-lodge vibes: warm woods, wool throws, saddle leather, stone, and lamplighting. Every pick is timeless, plays well with the others, and actually builds a cohesive room. I know the holidays can get busy-so plan now! And the best part, we did the scrolling so you don’t have to; these are pieces we’d put in our own home.

Save this for later, send to your co-host, and comment for the full edit.

Comment ‘AMAZON’ and I’ll DM the links.

Part I: Fall Home on a Budget. My Amazon edit that gives Ralph-Lauren energy—handsome, layered, timeless.

Allison’s notes:
• Hotel-edge pillowcases - never too early to have the guest room ready.
• Tom Ford Tuscan Leather — my go-to hostess gift; smells like a combo of cashmere and fresh leather
• Champagne bucket + stand — pull it out for bougie holiday dinners and instantly feel like you’re at a clubby hotel bar.
• Carved horse statue — stack on books for that equestrian wink.
• Chic dog bed — don’t sacrifice your style for your furry friend.

These are just a few... Comment ‘AMAZON’ for all the links.

Sixth Street bungalow mood, incoming. If you caught my last blog post, you know why this little Columbia charmer has our heart-porch culture, tree-lined sidewalks, and just enough history to whisper what it wants.

We’re still in pencil-sketch mode, but the North Star is clear: honor the bones, design for everyday rituals, let it feel slow and lived-in.

Think: porch lamps at dusk, a tiny side-garden with French doors off the sitting room, café curtains + lamplight everywhere, maybe a quiet painted check underfoot, and a pink-bath wink because why not. If you want the deeper dive (palette, layout thoughts, all the cozy details).

Comment INSPO and I’ll DM the blog. Save this for later—and tell me your favorite Southern paint colors or porch rituals!

Week-at-a-glance:
Oregon → Tennessee, mile after mile. Gas-station snacks, car karaoke, stretch breaks, repeat. Popping into Round Top today (manifesting major scores) and last night we bee-lined to @thegardencompany—order the brussel sprouts and thank me later. Also, icy cold sauv blanc = elite after a 10-hour drive. TN, we’re almost there. New chapter loading.

Phase 2 of So Susie Headquarters is here✨

You saw us transform her upstairs office/family hangout—now the main floor got the full glow-up: formal living, pantry, kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room. So much color + pattern play, warm textures, and lived-in layers tying it all together.

Designing with Susie is a joy-she’s wildly creative-and our hope was a home that matches her energy and heart. Here’s a little sneak peek from last week’s shoot... more reveals + sources soon.
