"With Leggett's guidance, these visits into farmhouse decorated homes provide the do-it-yourselfer with ideas for decorating their own abodes." -- Library Journal
Come along on the hunt to coveted country sources and the best secret antiquing spots, and learn how to create country farmhouse style in your city dwelling. Author Kim Leggett is the creator of City Farmhouse, an interior design business, pop-up antiquing fairs, 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. City Farmhouse Style is the first design book of its kind to focus entirely on transforming urban interiors with unfussy, welcoming, country-style decor.
"With Kim's tips and style inspiration anyone can bring country to the city with ease." --Sheryl Crow, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter
"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." -- Architectural Digest
"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
"Forget your old definition of farmhouse style and learn about the diversity of the look." -- American Farmhouse Style

Library Journal Review
Growing up in a home that eschewed popular styles for well-worn furniture and whitewashed walls, interior designer Leggett developed an affection for this country look. Here, she visits a baker's dozen of houses, including those of singer Sheryl Crow and country music band Little Big Town's Phillip Sweet. The styles range from cozy traditional to sleek modern, all with "shabby chic" touches. Leggett identifies the decorative accessories, furniture, and finishings that define the farmhouse style with choices for color, textiles, and wallpaper highlighted and shown in 200 color photographs. She concludes with a list of flea markets and vintage stores as well as online resources. VERDICT With Leggett's guidance, these visits into farmhouse decorated homes provide the do-it-yourselfer with ideas for decorating their own abodes. © Copyright 2017.
