Author Kim Leggett is a legendary “picker” and a favorite designer of 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 Leggett’s farmhouse style has designers, homeowners, and fans in search of inspiration to create this look in all its rural glory. Two of the party’s hosts, Rebecca Sweet and Theodore Leaf, have homes featured in the book.
Below are a few photos that appear in the book of local celebrity homes of Sheryl Crow, and Little Big Town’s Phillip Sweet and his wife, Rebecca Sweet creator of Sweet Ladi Jane.
The first three pictures are of Phillip and Rebecca Sweet’s home. Leggett says the Sweets prefer to be surrounded by things they love, comfortable furnishings, family-pass downs and quirky little treasures. One of those treasures pictured is the piano that Phillip is playing, there’s a great story as to how they acquired it but you have to buy the book to learn more.
The last three pictures showcase Sheryl Crow’s writer’s loft. This converted garage attic space became a guest retreat for fellow songwriters. In keeping the 500 square foot loft open and airy, the wall is covered with white shiplap. The white walls are a perfect backdrop for Crow’s sign collection. In the book, Leggett shares what makes these signs stand-out among others while giving you tips on how to spot a true vintage sign.
