White Bluff Residence
Styling Support, Curated Sourcing, On-Site Installation
Nashville, TN
2025
This project involved fast-turn sourcing and on-site styling support for a newly completed primary residence outside Nashville. The home required a full round of objects to populate display cases and surfaces throughout, with a highly compressed timeline.
From initial outreach to installation, the project unfolded over the course of a single week, relying on strong aesthetic instinct, rapid decision making, and the ability to translate limited client input into a cohesive, place-specific result.
Project Details
-
Responded to an extremely compressed timeline, moving from brief to sourcing to installation within days
Worked from minimal client direction, relying on interpretation rather than detailed guidance
Supported a new build that needed layering, warmth, and lived-in character to feel complete
Balanced speed with discernment, making confident choices without sacrificing cohesion
-
Translate limited cues such as masculinity, regional identity, and a passion for music into a clear object narrative
Build groupings that felt layered, textural, and lived-in, avoiding over-styling or symmetry
Reflect place and personality through a mix of regional artifacts, handmade objects, and sculptural forms
Allow moments of playfulness and quiet to coexist across different rooms and surfaces
-
Curated objects with variation in scale, material, and tone, emphasizing contrast over uniformity
Prioritized regional and secondhand finds, including indigenous art, western and southern references, and utilitarian objects
Worked in clusters rather than single accents, using grouping to create rhythm and visual weight
Adjusted sourcing strategy after seeing the home in person, making a second, more targeted shopping pass
Achieved a high sell-through rate on the final round of sourced pieces through in-context observation and refinement
Styled across a range of spaces, including bathrooms and secondary rooms, treating each as an opportunity for impact
