This summer we took you on a tour of Kate Morrison’s storied Concord, North Carolina garden. She’s the owner of Eastover Collection, where she designs custom planters, garden accents and window boxes. Lucky for us, her timeless taste is just as present inside her home as it is throughout her garden designs.
Let us show you around her thoughtful, classic home.
Moving through Kate’s home, you feel a sense of ease and delight. I think that has a lot to do with the gentle blue and green color pallet and the emphases on floral textiles and botanicals throughout.
The foyer welcomes you with Benjamin Moore’s Woodlawn Blue. Farrow and Ball Chappell Green, used in the small hallway, is a beautiful blend of blue and green.
She balances the soft colors and patterns with strong moldings, clean lines and detailed millwork. No room shows this balance better than the kitchen. It’s incredibly charming, and I love the use of Sherwin Williams’ Downy on the cabinets and Calacatta Borghini Extra countertops. These elements bring so much warmth to this inviting space.
One of my favorite rooms in the house is the scullery. I love the utility of a workspace, sequestered from your entertaining spaces. Kate’s is filled with ample storage and style. The cabinets are painted in Mizzle, a soft gray-green by Farrow and Ball.
In our first tour with Kate this summer, she told us she always wants her guests to feel relaxed and happy. That’s apparent in each room of her home. The artwork, paneling and rolled-arm silhouettes make this living space feel sophisticated, while the conversational setup and soft layers feel inviting.
Kate’s garden is one of our favorite spaces to date, and her planters and obelisks are part of what makes it so special.
