In Home Stories, learn how to create rooms filled with warmth, meaning, and your own unique story of home from an award-winning interior designer.
Kim Leggett’s first book, City Farmhouse Style, was a big hit. Now Kim is back with the welcoming interiors her fans crave and a no-rules approach that is all about using what you love to create rooms that tell your personal story.
Everyone has a story worth telling, and every room can become part of that story—whether you decorate it with heirlooms, flea market finds, simple mementos, or a mix. In Home Stories, Leggett shows readers how to use all these treasures to design very special rooms filled with interest and meaning.
She begins by asking readers what it is that attracts them to a certain piece: “Thinking hard about what really speaks to you, and then using it as the basis for design, is the secret behind all of the best, most interesting rooms.”
Each chapter presents fascinating spaces and the stories behind the accessories, furnishings, and mementos that fill them. There are plenty of projects, too, plus practical design guidance and design inspiration for refreshing decor as the seasons change.
“I believe that stories are the sentimental and essential foundation of our lives. I believe that we each decorate and redecorate our homes as our stories are created. And no one tells—or helps each of us tell through her decorating acumen—more beautiful and cherished stories than Kim. She is a master storyteller, not only in words, but in all that surrounds her—and because of her, all that surrounds each of us.” —Where Women Create, Jo Packham

Beautifully written and photographed decor book!
Love this book! Iâve been a big fan of author, designer and collector Kim Leggett since her first book City Farmhouse Style. Her new book Home Stories is beautifully written and photographed, and I love the thickness and rich feel of the paper. More than beautiful pictures, I also loved reading the heartfelt stories behind the pieces Kim collects in her own home, and the stories behind the photos of other peopleâs homes. A beautiful gift for yourself or others; you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful stories!
I love the stories in this book – so different from just looking at interiors, this book offers the story behind the photo or items in the photos, which makes it so much more meaningful and a pleasure to read. Beautiful book!
