CASS Contemporary
CASS Contemporary, which began as a gallery in Tampa, has transformed into a full-service art consulting and management company that specializes in large-scale activations and acquisitions of works by iconic artists like Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Now the high-end art curation, consulting and management service, owned by husband-and-wife team Jake and Cassie Greatens, is coming to Nashville. Opening is planned for Wedgewood-Houston in September.
The Lanes
The Lanes, a first-of-its-kind wellness-centered residential community, is coming to North Nashville in September. The health-conscious development will offer amenities like pools, saunas and cold plunges, community lawns and green spaces — all programmed with health-forward events and classes like yoga and pickleball. Four home design packages are available, created by Leslie Murphy of Murphy Maude Interiors. Murphy is a local designer known more for custom luxury homes than multi-home developments. The site also features 1,000 feet of Metro Greenway, which promotes active living and pedestrian connectivity throughout the city.
The Gilmore
European elegance meets Nashville charm at The Gilmore, a new boutique hotel in 12 South that’s turning heads for its architectural character and style. Designed in collaboration with Nashville-based interiors studio Design Object and architecture firm Humphreys & Partners, the property features sun-drenched courtyards, rooftop terraces and immersive art moments by local artisans, including custom lobby millwork from Mesa, hand-painted signs from Red Rocks Tileworks and botanical installations throughout the property from Zion Botanical. (Mesa, Red Rocks and Zion have all been featured in past issues of Nashville Interiors.)
‘Interiors of a Storyteller’ by Stephanie Sabbe
Through nine beautifully photographed projects, local designer Stephanie Sabbe shares deeply intimate essays about her life that give a glimpse into the motivation behind her work in this 2025 book published by Gibbs Smith. For example, in one essay she related being raised by a single mother with very limited resources with a project in Leiper’s Fork with a lesson she learned in childhood: “The way you start does not have to dictate how you finish.” Another is about raising four kids with her husband in their 100-year-old home, which her mother moved into after a terminal cancer diagnosis. She designs gorgeous homes, yes, but Sabbe really hammers home that “content is not found in a well-appointed home… it’s the people living inside that make a home.”
Ann Sacks x Shea McGee
The iconic tile brand Ann Sacks has collaborated with multi-disciplined designer Shea McGee on a fifth collaboration, Ashton Meadows. Combining four complementing patterns in five inspired-by-nature colorways — Swan, Grey Heron, Evergreen, Fawn and Oxblood — McGee surprises with her latest collection by incorporating a decorative edge detail that lends complexity to the designs. The line also utilizes 60% recyclable content, making it an ecologically thoughtful choice. Available now at the Ann Sacks Nashville showroom.
