Meet Keegan, the designer behind Manor Designs! Based in Nashville, TN, she renovates and designs the most beautiful spaces. We love her fresh, yet traditional style and watching these small spaces come to life! Read on to learn all about Keegan and how she styled her Coley Home piece.
After working in the corporate world for 6 years and trying out a few different jobs here and there, I decided to jump into the design world when we moved to Nashville. It all started with one investment property to build a portfolio and quickly turned into a business model of remodeling high end homes in the area to preserve and build a Nashville full of character.
Influenced by my love for the English countryside and antiques, I strive for a timeless philosophy that will stand the test of time while also feeling like home. I love a blend of rustic and luxury to create an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable space full of character and depth; dark woods, ethereal patterns, worn in leathers and neutrals.
After relocating my desk space I knew that the next iteration of it would be one that I needed and wanted to take with me for years to come. I wanted a desk chair that was comfortable but also looked like it could anchor a space and bring a pop of luxury to my vintage dining table desk. I loved the slope arm of the Camden Dining Chair immediately and knew it would bring a soft luxury to my work space.
*Casual, Dune has been discontinued from our line.
The most recent project I did was a smaller home where we didn’t add any square footage, but instead were able to relocate the kitchen and open up the old living room to create a completely open concept living+kitchen area. I love using existing footprints to their absolute potential and this was the perfect example of why small old houses like The Manor Cottage don’t have to be torn down, but instead can be given a completely new updated life to fit the needs of the modern family.
I always splurge on lighting and countertops. I think that unique and high end lighting can make an entire room feel nicer and give it style while less interesting or cheaper light fixtures can give the opposite effect. And countertops are something many people look past, but you’ll never find a plain white quartz countertop in any of my projects. There are too many good ones out there these days that give the look of a stone and that can give a guest room a touch of luxury that will last for years to come.
I immediately knew I wanted a staple piece for the changing table, so after months and months of searching I found the perfect vintage dresser that, for now, will have the changing table kit adorned with some brass sconces and vintage equestrian artwork. My goal is for this piece to stay in our son’s room for years to come, acting as a side table between twin beds and beyond!
I am absolutely loving Sherwin Williams Ethereal Mood right now! It’s a beautiful soft dark(ish) green that is a lovely natural color complimentary to the ever popular Farrow & Ball Pigeon. I’m actually including it as custom cabinet colors in our newest project in the scullery and mudroom that I cannot wait to see come to life.
My husband just finished the newest season of Slow Horses and per usual, it was amazing. Unfortunately most of the books that I’ve read lately are pregnancy or newborn related so not as entertaining as usual, but one of my favorite books from earlier this year was The Women by Kristin Hannah. I have read all of her books and every single one of them has made an impact, whether leaving me in tears, or leaving me wishing the book didn’t end!
