A Place Where Everything Has a Story: a visit to Herron Home in Nashville, and a reminder why thoughtful places still matter.

Apr 17

Tucked inside a black warehouse in Nashville is one of those places that reminds you how good a home can feel when everything in it has a story.

When my family and I were in Nashville last week, we created one of those trips that blended business with pleasure. I had delivered some artwork to Herron Home back in January, but I hadn’t seen the space in person yet. I knew it was special, but seeing it firsthand proved that, like most things, it’s even better in real life.

We rolled up to the funky black warehouse and spotted their place among the others by the cars out front. Knowing the owner, Mason Herron, has a keen eye for collecting, the Land Rover was a dead giveaway.

Every once in a while you meet someone who is a whole vibe, and Mason is definitely that. He and his wife, Emily, are true creatives at heart, with a rare ability to thoughtfully curate not just their home, but their clothing and entire environment.

I enjoyed walking through the space, listening to Mason share the stories behind several pieces of vintage furniture and what makes them unique. With the smell of incense wafting through the air, he explained why a Danish side table was so rare, why he sources the way he does, and why he admires the artists he brings in.

His passion for homes and interiors is obvious, but it doesn’t stop there. It didn’t take long before he was telling us about the koi pond he recently built at his home, along with other projects he’s been working on.

Back in January, he had put the word out on Instagram that he was looking for new artists, so I sent him some of my work. I’m grateful we connected, and that my art now lives in a space where homeowners and designers can discover something truly unique.

There’s something especially meaningful about imagining my work living alongside a well-crafted, mid-century piece. That’s always been the goal: to create art that enhances the environments people live and work in.

In a world full of Target and HomeGoods, a place like Herron Home feels like a real discovery. And while I shop at IKEA and Amazon too, there’s something different about investing in pieces with intention, objects that carry story, craftsmanship, and a sense of permanence.

Between the cowboy lamps, Italian credenzas, and abstract art, you’re bound to find something you didn’t know you needed—and that feeling is pretty hard to beat.
