City Farmhouse is inviting shoppers to its new Franklin warehouse showroom for the Shop the Collection Fall Celebration on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24, 2026. The two-day event will feature newly arrived French antiques, European furnishings, original artwork, and vintage finds sourced from Round Top, Texas.
Owned by Kim and David Leggett, City Farmhouse has built a national following through its antique collections, interior design work, books, and popular pop-up fairs.
The event takes place Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 105 Southeast Parkway, Suite 115. Friday evening’s celebration will include drinks and light bites while guests shop, followed by daytime shopping on Saturday. Because many of the antiques are one-of-a-kind pieces, the available selection will change as items are purchased.
Inside the New City Farmhouse Antique Showroom in Franklin, TN
Before establishing City Farmhouse in Franklin, Kim and David operated an antiques business in the Memphis area, where they transformed a former grocery store into an antiques market featuring more than 100 vendors.
The couple later began selling at the Franklin Antique Mall before opening their own shop in a house next to what is now Gallery 202. City Farmhouse has since operated from several locations in Franklin, growing beyond retail into interior design and antique fairs that attract shoppers from across the country.
Kim has also written two design books, City Farmhouse Style and Home Stories, which explore ways to incorporate antiques and meaningful objects into interior spaces.
The new City Farmhouse warehouse showroom is the latest evolution of the business. Rather than maintaining regular retail hours, the Leggetts now open the space for monthly shopping events, generally held on Fridays and Saturdays, with a changing collection of antiques sourced from Europe and the United States.
Kim describes the showroom experience as a “French warehouse discovery,” with antique tables, cupboards, benches, chandeliers, original artwork, and decorative pieces arranged throughout the space. Layered displays bring together furnishings from different countries and time periods, highlighting their craftsmanship, aged surfaces, and individual histories.
The new format allows the couple to spend time sourcing merchandise, preparing the collection, and creating new displays for each opening. Their inventory comes from buying trips to Round Top, Texas, as well as antique dealers and buyers who source furnishings and decorative objects from France and other European countries.
According to Kim, City Farmhouse sold approximately 80% of its inventory during both its July and August showroom openings. The couple did not hold a September opening while they worked to replenish the collection for October.
“We can’t keep the stock,” Kim explained during a conversation ahead of the Fall Celebration.
The monthly openings give returning shoppers an opportunity to discover different pieces with each visit. Outside scheduled events, private shopping appointments can be arranged for customers interested in viewing specific items.
A Sneak Peek at City Farmhouse’s French Antiques and Vintage Finds
FranklinIs visited the new warehouse showroom ahead of the Fall Celebration for a sneak peek at the collection and a conversation with Kim about some of the unusual antiques shoppers will find during the October 23–24 event.
The collection reflects a shift in City Farmhouse’s offerings over the years. “We sold 100% American antiques made prior to the Civil War. That’s what we sold,” Kim recalled. As customer preferences shifted toward French and other European furnishings, the Leggetts adjusted their collections to reflect that interest.
Among the standout pieces Kim shared during our visit was a Spanish antique table dating to approximately 1820. Measuring more than nine feet long, the table features a single-plank top, an unusually large example of this type of furniture. Kim explained that similar tables are typically around six feet long.
“It’s extremely rare to find that. It’s gorgeous,” she said.
The showroom also features large French monastery tables, antique cupboards, and other furnishings selected for their craftsmanship, character, and history.
Another interesting part of the collection is a group of decorative French iron crosses. Kim explained that these crosses were traditionally placed in fields or near homes for religious purposes rather than used as cemetery markers. Several feature elaborate floral details, and Kim noted that some are particularly rare.
Lighting is another highlight of the October collection, including antique European chandeliers and decorative candlesticks dating to the 1700s that were later adapted for electricity. Kim pointed out examples of French and Italian lighting, including a beaded Italian chandelier and an ornate French bronze chandelier.
Shoppers will also find original European artwork, including a collection of Italian art studies that Kim said were created by a young artist seeking admission to an art school. Kim was preparing written descriptions of the artwork ahead of the celebration to help shoppers learn more about the pieces.
In addition to larger antique furnishings, visitors will find smaller decorative pieces, including French pottery and accessories that can be incorporated into their homes.
Kim takes a personal approach to selecting pieces for the showroom, choosing antiques that appeal to her own sense of style.
“I don’t buy it if I don’t love it,” she said.
