Kathy is designing the Storage Studio which is an 11' x 14' found space in the attic. She adds," the colors are citron, celadon and blue. I'm mixing chrome and glass with vintage leather and rich woods. The rug is a custom piece from Nashville Rug Gallery and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams lent me two chairs, a floor mirror and a large piece of contemporary art. I'm also adding in a touch of BlogTour in the art."
Besides seeing the amazing O'More Designer Showhouse, Franklin looks like a great city to visit!! It is in the county seat of Williamson County, Tennessee and filled with interesting architecture, fun shops, stylish boutiques and cool looking restaurants. Kathy drove around and snapped some great pics:
