Storybook Cottage in Leiper’s Fork, TN: Home Tour

Today’s Storybook Cottage in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee: Home Tour shares glimpses of our stay in the 800 square foot fairytale cottage with interiors designed by Dave and Kim Leggett of City Farmhouse. I’m crazy about Kim’s style and shared a review of her book, City Farmhouse Style in a story here.

Hello Lovely Studio – Storybook Cottage in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee: Rustic Farmhouse Style Home Tour With Photos as well as Decorating Ideas.

I loved our road trip to the Southeast last summer, and after motoring through Charlotte, Charleston, Savannah, and Chattanooga for brief stays, we arrived in Leipers Fork.

Leiper’s Fork

This sleepy unincorporated village (eight miles west of Franklin and 30 miles south of Nashville) is where we booked the sweetest little home away from home for relaxing…Storybook Cottage.

Storybook Cottage in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee: Home Tour With Photos & Decorating Ideas

What to do in Leiper’s Fork? We relaxed in the cottage and took long scenic drives as well as explored the Natchez Trace Trail.

We also stalked houses for sale, ate delicious bbq at Puckett’s (karaoke night is an experience, y’all!). And of course, we enjoyed shopping in nearby Franklin, too which boasts a fabulous downtown. While we didn’t make any trips to Nashville, it’s an easy drive.

    Yes please…. Forget staying here I want to STAY here! As in move in. That little gem is a 6 hour drive from our house in GA. I’m emailing today to find out if our little havanese Phoebe would be able (allowed) to join us there . Loving it and eating up your post on Franklin….. I’m thinking a holiday trip is in our future .

      Hahaha – that’s the spirit. I bet you’ll be able to bring your sweet pup, and since there’s no carpet or anything precious, the secluded 8 acres should make her happy. 🙂 I still have to post about our little excursion to Savannah. I’m always too swamped to post my own life stuff. 🙂

      What a precious cottage!! I’d love to stay there. The area looks so beautiful too. Thanks for sharing this Michele!

    Wow, what an amazing cottage! My husband and I have wanted to take a trip to Tennesse for some time, and this looks like the perfect spot for some rest and relaxation. Thank you for all of the wonderful pictures that are a virtual visit in themselves. I’ve featured it today at Thursday Favorite Things. Thanks for taking us there!

      I appreciate the feature so much, Pam. Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage tour. You’ll love it if you go. It is a rare privilege to be able to live for a time in professionally designed interiors by creatives who are so well respected (Kim Leggett is a genius!!!!) so I didn’t take it lightly. Of course you are from Missouri – those folks are the BEST, and we loved our years there so much. Peace to you, friend.

    Michele,
    I hope you are doing better and the rest of your family. I know you have been going through some really difficult times – health wise. Her dog is doing better. Thanks for asking. I love that cottage and all of the little things that make it special.
    Take care my friend. I keep you in my prayers.
