About

Kim Leggett: Style Curator

   “I am in love with the stories that these old pieces tell, the feel of the time-worn surfaces, the painstaking workmanship and design.”– Kim Leggett

It seems that anything tagged with the name “farmhouse” has been having a moment for a while – but Kim and David and their City Farmhouse brand are in leagues all their own, with no evidence of fading with the trends. Resonating with a following that has accumulated devotees spanning the globe and a series of niche projects spun from the brand, the essence of City Farmhouse seems to be in its approachability: a style that invites both sophisticated and simple aesthetics inclusive of family heirlooms.

And if you are ever dining in Middle Tennessee’s booming restaurant scene, there is a likelihood that you’ll be taking your biscuits & gravy in a City Farmhouse-designed space – Puckett’s Gro. & Restaurant, the uber trendy Scout’s Pub, Homestead Manor, and Deacon's New South, to name a few. Most recently Kim, along with husband David have meticulously renovated and curated a Luxury Country Estate, Idlewild Farm, a vacation rental thaat offers a home filled with antiques and art..

Author

Home Stories. In Kim’s latest book she encourages readers to create a space that reflects the authentic story of the people who live there. Through inspiration and storytelling in her own home, Kim curates a new approach to interior design. She shows readers that anything from a history-laden antique and treasured by generations of family, to the simple sweet memory of a small framed paper leaf can become the inspiration of beautiful rooms filled with warmth and personality.

Kim authored her first design book,City Farmhouse Style, released in September 2017 and published by ABRAMS – a project that evolved from the brand and demand from her following. The book – which focuses entirely on transforming urban interiors & creative spaces into farmhouse style – is the first of its kind featuring the city homes of celebrities and farmhouse enthusiasts from all across the U.S. The book rose to Number 1 Best Seller status on Amazon months preceding, and upon its release, and was ranked Number 552 among all books on Amazon on the September 12 release date. 

  “This book is a celebration of the epitome of City Farmhouse style.” – Kim Leggett
