Places in Nashville That Inspire Me

Inspiration rarely shows up in a furniture showroom. More often it's a building, a meal, a quality of light I want to bottle and bring home.

I keep returning to a few places — an old warehouse with original brick and enormous steel windows, a café where the patina on everything feels earned, a stretch of the river where the greens and clays of the landscape sort themselves into a palette I'll borrow later.

Nashville is growing fast, and a lot of what's new feels the same. The places that stick with me are the ones that held onto their character — the imperfect, specific, slightly worn ones. That's the quality I'm always chasing in a home.
