“What happens when homeowners throw out the design rule book? Genius decorating ideas pop up everywhere. A flip through Leggett’s book reveals dozens.” ―Architectural Digest
Author Kim Leggett is the creator of City Farmhouse, an interior design business, pop-up antiquing fair, and vintage store. She is also a legendary “picker” and favorite designer to celebrity clients (and country-style mavens) including Meg Ryan, Ralph Lauren, Sheryl Crow, and Phillip Sweet and Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town.
In City Farmhouse Style, Leggett offers great style advice, breaking down the design vocabulary that makes for fresh country style (no matter the setting). The popularity of farmhouse style has designers, homeowners, and fans in search of inspiration to create this look in all its rural glory. Topics include: Farmhouse PaintsFarmhouse WallpapersFarmhouse TextilesThe French FarmhouseSalvaged StyleMade from ScratchAnd more! Leggett writes in her introduction, “The real beauty of farmhouse style—unlike more fleeting design trends—is that it’s rooted in roll-up-your-sleeves practicality. Farmhouses have been around for hundreds of years, after all, and they were designed to work hard—to accommodate multigenerational families, feed a crowd, and, yes, handle a little dirt. . . . I also suspect farmhouse style has such widespread appeal because it’s inherently inviting. It’s warm, welcoming, and thanks to its adaptability, all inclusive.”
City Farmhouse Style focuses entirely on transforming urban interiors with unfussy, welcoming, country-style decor. It’s a unique resource whether you have a small apartment or a large townhouse.
“Leggett celebrates the ageless appeal of farmhouse staples—and explains why the look isn’t going anywhere.” —Country Living
