Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — lizandwalt, March 2014** > Kippie Leland has been extremely helpful as we updated our 1980s built home - coordinating colors, giving design tips, and overall getting us started with easy and cost effective ideas. I had been procrastinating because I did not know where to start. I knew I needed help and Kippie came well recommended. I'm delighted with how easy she made the process and with the service personnel she recommended. > > Liz Martin **★★★★★ — Bella Tucker Decorative Finishes, Jan. 2013** > I worked with Kippie on the Southern Living Idea House in Nashville. Not only did she have great style and amazing eye for space planning, she was also the first designer in the house to deliver a complete and polished room. She is very organized and has it together. She brought in an antique wall sized clock that was the hit of the space. It was amazing, unique and one of a kind. I also follow Kippie on Houzz and she always posts amazing rooms. Make sure you follow her. **★★★★★ — donnakomisar, Oct. 2012** > As the daughter of the deceased Eloise O’More founder of the O’More College of Design in Franklin Tennessee, I have seen the work of many interior designers. Kippie served on the Board of Trust of the Tennessee Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers at which time I was administrator of the Chapter. Kippie is professional, knowledgeable and experienced. As important, she is very conscientious about keeping within her client’s budget and giving them an environment in which they will long enjoy. Kippie’s projects range from very small to huge spaces, some of which have been published in magazines and newspapers. She is highly respected among her peers and I consider her as one of the best interior designers I have known. **★★★★★ — lbdietz, Oct. 2012** > Kippie Leland of Leland Interiors has provided ongoing consultation through numerous remodeling projects on our home of 20+ years. During our most recent project, which included gutting and expanding our kitchen, den and dining room, her counsel was invaluable. She worked well with our contractor and our family to make sure that each decision was well thought out and contributed to the overall design and livability of the project. > > From paint colors, finishes, fixtures, materials, fabrics and furniture placement, Kippie's touch is visible throughout our lovely home. And because Kippie listens to the client and incorporates their style and preferences in her design, I feel like our touch is visible as well. We could not be more pleased. **★★★★★ — suechilton, Oct. 2012** > I have worked with Kippie Leland of Leland Interiors for the last fifteen years. She has always over delivered on my expectations with a creative spirit that is unparalleled. Of her talents, which are many, is the ability to listen to a client and interpret their wants, needs and desires, bringing a clear focus to an often fog of wishes. She is excellent in communicating with contractors and subs and keeps a clear head in sticky situations. Her contracts are clear; budgets are prepared and agreed upon before execution. **★★★★★ — maggietroutman, Oct. 2012** > I have worked with Kippie Leland on many projects over the past 25 years.

I recommend her highly. She is a > real professional! **★★★★★ — bmoss10, Oct. 2012** > Kippie Leland is an awesome designer. When my husband and I married 5 years ago, we combined 4 bedroom and 5 bedroom houses into our new home. Kippie measured and photographed all our furniture, told us what to sell/give away, and developed a furniture plan for our new home. Then she helped us make all the other choices--paint colors, fabrics, and any new pieces we needed to add. One of the best things about working with Kippie is that each decision is a collaboration. We never feel we are living with Kippie's choices but with our own. I make all my decisions now after consulting with Kippie. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kippie to all my friends. > Barbara Moss **★★★★★ — jtumey, Oct. 2012** > I have engaged Leland Interiors several times over the last 15 years. Kippie did a fabulous job on the interior finishes, paint colors and window treatments for the home of the Director of University School of Nashville. As there were numerous stakeholders and a limited budget this was quite an achievement. I also had Kippie help me when I renovated my upstairs master suite and bathroom. She helped me select fabulous bathroom tile and designed a shower that is the envy of all our visitors. I solely relied on her excellent understanding of colors for my walls and for the carpet. Kippie listens to her clients, takes into account budget constraints and is patient during the entire process. Her outcomes are always superb. > > JoAnn Tumey **★★★★★ — dotty1comcast, Oct. 2012** > Kippie is great to work with and very able too incorporate client ideas wilth her own.

She was flexible re letting me do some of the leg work, scaling back ideas to keep within my budget.She also worked well with my contractor whom I had known for over 20 years She was very helpful in navigating disagreements that were hard for me because of ;og historty.

A: Thanks for your question yes they are 10 feet **Q: Sofa** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand is the denim sofa? A: Sorry Marsha I just saw your question from January. The sofa is covered in a blue chenile fabric and was ordered from Charles Stewart. They are a company open only to the trade. Hope this helps. Kippie **Q: Mirror questions- how to hang + brand** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello! I was wondering if you got the mirror custom cut and how you hung it onto the wall! A: Yes, the mirror was custom cut and the mirror company glued it to the wall with mastic. Hope this helps+ **Q: Refrigerator** *(in Photo Questions)* Is that a cabinet depth size refrigerator? Who makes it? A: Yes, the refrigerator is a stainless GE cabinet depth model although technically it is a little deeper than cabinet depth. **Q: I am looking for Etageres...could you please advice on the above.thnks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Yes, thank you for asking, these etageres were purchased from the Ernest Gaspard Showroom in Atlanta and are custom fabricated in solid iron from a Canadian Company to your needed size and finish. **Q: Farm Home** *(in Photo Questions)* What type of wood was used for trim around doors and windows to go with hickory cabinets? A: We used stained pine for the trim. Since this is a log cabin, using a variety of woods and stains seemed natural. Else where in the home there is unstained pine v-groove panelling and it all works together. The kitchen and dining room are open to each other and there is a loft room right above the kitchen that can be seen from the dining room. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
