Look Whose Sharing the Love for
City Farmhouse Style!

 

Sure, shiplap may be trending, but there’s nothing fleeting about an aesthetic that’s rooted in simplicity, practicality, and durability. In her new book, City Farmhouse Style, designer Kim Leggett celebrates the ageless appeal of farmhouse staples - and explains why the look isn’t going anywhere. (You can bet the farm on it). (Country Living)

So, what happens when homeowners throw out the design rule book? Genius decorating ideas pop up everywhere. A flip through Leggett's book reveals dozens.  (Lindsey Mather, Architectural Digest)

Top antiques dealer and designer Kim Leggett leads a tour of chic country digs she discovers in cities, on rural routes, and in suburbs across the country. Along the way she shares tips for collecting, displaying, and enjoying the current farmhouse look. Named “Our Style Maker” (Country Home)

Fans of Kim Leggett’s pop-up fairs and unloading sales in Tennessee invariably have one question: What’s the secret to her unique look? Kim reveals all in her new book, City Farmhouse Style. (Flea Market Style)

Kim Leggett, the genius behind the City Farmhouse look, took the familiar  “make-do” decor she grew up with and reinterpreted it for her design clients. In her brand new book, City Farmhouse Style, Kim showcases the style’s essential elements - country antiques, architectural salvage and industrial pieces -  and demonstrates a way to put them together. It’s an inspiring mix, no matter where you call home. (Prairie Style)

Forget your old definition of farmhouse style and learn about the diversity of the look.
(Max Troja, American Farmhouse Style)

Living in the country can be a rustic way of life. However, that’s not to say that cottage country style can’t be warm, inviting and comfortable. In her new book City Farmhouse Style: Designs for a Modern Country Life, author Kim Leggett explores just how soft the country look can be. As she describes it, this is a style “born out of our love for the past and a desire to live a comfortable, more laid-back lifestyle. (Max Troja, Cottage Country)

[City Farmhouse Style] some seriously gorgeous stuff! (Lex Leblanc, HGTV Listed Sisters , @thelexleblanc)

Pioneer, stylist, tastemaker, picker and visonary. Before there was HGTV, Chip and Joanna and vintage markets across the US, Kim Leggett was on the scene and blazing a trail with her perfectly curated style! Her new book captures the timeless farmhouse aesthetic that transcends time and trends. From stunning pics to styling tips, each of the 224 pages are book worthy! Thank you Kim, for inviting us into your beautiful world.  (Steve Rogers, @prizekc)

Thank you for bringing us this amazing glimpse into how Farmhouse style changed your life and how you have touched so many more.  (Jennifer Choate @downshilohroad)

With Kim as our tour guide and our personal designer-in-residence (residence=open road), she puts us in the shotgun seat for the ride of our lives on an incredible cornucopia of inspiration. Page after breathtaking page, Kim skillfully shows that farmhouse style is not relegated to a rural route address, but is just as welcoming in a big city loft or a small tucked away space. Let's be honest y'all. Raise your hand if you've ever dreamed of getting a peek at where Sheryl Crow pens her amazing songs? I know I sure have!  (Debbie York @york.deb)

Page after page of curated loveliness, City Farmhouse Style draws you in and transports you to the very homes and families featured. She is a design risk taker and it works every time. The interior design projects emit soul! From contemporary urban to pure primitive farmhouse ... from shiplap to vintage wallpaper ...from plank floors to poured concrete ... from hanging gas lanterns to track lighting, this book most certainly will inspire, delight and surprise! (Joy Waltmire @savvycityfarmer)

At a time when magazines seem to be getting thinner and thinner, with less decorating per issue, it was a breath of fresh air to receive this book! This decorating book did not disappoint and I highly recommend it!   (Tracey Leber, @frenchlarkspur)

There is inspiration for the modern Farmhouse, country style, French Farmhouse and the suburban city farmhouse. Every image is more beautiful than the next!  (Lisa Bass, @farmhouseonboone)

Farmhouse style is not only a current design phenomenon, but truly a part of our American history! Kim Leggett has not only captured the beauty and authentic style of “farmhouse”, but to the larger point she conveys that passion in our history of what farmhouse style is. Beginning with her own personal history in the quaint farmhouse of her grandmother, I found myself connecting with this book not only visually, but on a higher emotional level! Remarkable!

After knowing Kim for so many years, and understanding the breadth of her talents, I am always anticipating her next creative endeavor. I know that every time she calls me to get involved with, or to volunteer for, one of her fabulous events, it will definitely be a great adventure. After immersing myself in her new book, “City Farmhouse Style,” I, as a designer, see this style as new, exciting and completely updated. It is a look that transforms style in a futuristic way. It sees the old as art and the typical as atypical. This look is not just farm tables and ironstone pitchers, for sure; it’s so much more. And it’s making me want a farmhouse in the city and some city in the country! (Jason Counce, @dirthomeandgarden)

“Farmhouse style is born out of our love for the past and a desire to live a comfortable, more laid-back lifestyle", (Kim Leggett, from the book City Farmhouse Style).

So excited I actually need to calm down so I can savor every word on every page of the new book [City Farmhouse Style]. Can't wait till I can relax and enjoy this (Joan Swanson, @j.cusumanohomesltd)

Wow! I can't seem to put this book down. Very inspirational!

This book is beautifully written and it warms my heart.  (Jessica Meleski, @blue.hydrangea.home)

A wonderful job writing the book … great photography and the walk down memory lane brings certain smells back to mind and sights long forgotten. I wasn’t expecting it … so thank you! (Kelly Costanza, @renegade_mom_original)

"The book was a gift to myself … what a treasure. The introduction … BEAUTIFULLY written … it recreated so many sweet memories of my grandmother in her tiny home, simply decorated with salvages materials … creating my love for the same relaxing style. To try to describe how the book captures and delights is impossible. I can only share a copy with my friends and watch their eyes light up and see their smile. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents." (Jackie, @farmhouse_in_the_city_1890)

I finally got my book today. With much anticipation I've waited patiently for the release of City Farmhouse Style by Kim Leggett. As I walked into Barnes And Noble I walked straight up to the home decor books and there it was. I was like a kid in a candy store as I grabbed it off the shelf and clutched it tight. Making sure not to look through it at all. Only because I wanted to be able to come home this evening - bathe, pour me a glass of wine, wrap up in a linen blanket on a nice cozy chair and indulge in it from cover to cover. Here we go... I've waited all day. (Candace Jarreau, @thedistressednestinteriors)

I absolutely love this book! I have many decor books and rarely "read" them, finding most not very interesting (dry) or insightful, and usually just study the pictures for design ideas. But this one! This one I devoured in a day and read it front to back! It has no less than 50 post-it notes where I've tabbed not only pictures but Kim's helpful design information, along with her list of places to seek out your own treasures. Her writing is knowledgeable and fun, making this book the best I've read on farmhouse style as well as many other design books. The pictures are amazing though and absolute frosting on the cake, but again, it's Kim's friendly style that embraces you and makes you want to run out and get your first farm table if you don't already have one, and helps lead you in making your house a home you love to come home to. Not only a must read for anyone interested in this warm and relaxed style but for anyone interested in decor. (Marian L, Amazon)

This book is just amazing. The photography is beautiful, with each shot meticulously styled. I love, love, love [Kim’s] style!  But my favorite part is the text...this book is full of useful, interesting information presented in a witty, down-to-earth way. I have so enjoyed reading it! Congratulations on a truly excellent book!
