10 Nashville Instagram Accounts You Should Be Following

I don’t know about your Instagram feed, but mine is not chocked full of selfies and babies covered in spaghetti. I use Instagram as a design magazine, an endless source of daily inspiration. Designers, home décor products, fashion, travel, prop-styling, photography – everything I want and need in one place.

I won’t lie, I have an addiction to my IG feed. Its design porn. Yes, porn. A feast of beautifully curated photos that are downright sexy. As of late, the Nashville feeds have been at the top of my list. This city never ceases to amaze me with its incredible talent and creativity.

If you are looking for a new designer, photographer, maker or you are simply in need of new inspiration, check out these fantastic Nashville IG accounts I featured last week on 12th & Broad.

1. Pencil and Paper Co : The signature style of the Nashville couple, Benjamin and Gen Sohr, is bright whites with an unexpected kick of vibrant color. This feed is full of contrast and dazzling designs. They post design inspirations, favorite home décor products and sneak peaks of their latest projects. The dynamic duo has been featured in many design publications, like Domino Magazine and Matchbook.

2. Camellia Fiber Company : Rebekka’s feed is full of light and airy photo’s in shades of whites, grays and blush. Featuring her hand-spun yarns, gatherings with friends, baked goods and darling photo-shoots.

3 . Bleubird : Miss James is a mother of four, writer, blogger, co-founder of Mother Magazine and fantastic photographer. Her Instagram feed is all about the beauty of being a wife and mother. Gorgeous photos of giggling children, home décor, family outings and James favorite things.

4. Local Milk : Moody neutrals and delicious photos of decadent food. Beth Kirby is a talented photographer, prop-stylist and recipe developer. She is all about perfecting the art of slow living. Her feed is dark with heavy grays and always the right amount of natural light. Food prop-styling at its finest.

5. Elizabeth Suzann : Thoughtfully designed, timeless essentials created by the talented Elizabeth Suzann. White, black and tan color scheme photos in minimal high style. Elizabeth’s photos take you to the most peaceful of places. Each photo is curated to perfection, just like her stunning collections.

6. Pennyweight : Elise Joseph knows style, marketing and branding. “Curate” seems to be her middle name. She has an incredible knack to edit and know how much is just enough. A plethora of ideas and inspiration in fashion and home décor.

7. Chelsea Petaja : Hand-lettering, paper goods and a keen eye for beautiful designs. Chelsea’s Instagram feed is a breath of fresh air. Photos in shades of white with a strong point of view. She and her husband, Tec, are always traveling and every photo has you coveting their lives.

Holiday Card? Gift Tag? Photo Book? Create them all with Artifact Uprising

Artifact Uprising has me really excited about making my own gifts this year. If you haven’t heard about them, they are best known for their Instagram friendly book. Last year, I had so many friends shouting from the rooftops about this company and the Instagram book. I fell in love the second I landed on their homepage. So many fun ways to gift your memories! From books to calendars to works of art, your options are limitless.

This year they launched new holiday cards. When I saw their 3-in-1 Photo Cards on Instagram, my heart skipped a beat. The design is perfection! 

3-in-1 Photo Cards “Reinvent your holiday photo card. The 3-in-1 card is a greeting card, a photo print and a gift tag – all in one. With perforated seams, this card can be re-purposed by recipients.” That tag is what did it for me! I love a good graphic on a package, especially if it involves typography.

Hardcover Book “The signature line in our product suite, this premium quality photo book is custom bound in fabric with your choice of a full-sized or partial dust jacket.” Forget the old photo albums, and create something that will last a lifetime.

Instagram Friendly Book  “Built for the square image, these premium quality softcover photo books feature layouts designed with Instagram in mind. Off your device, into your life.™” I could have a hundred of these. In fact, with such a great price, you could have a hundred. One for each year of your life would be an adorable collection.

Wood Block + Prints “Make it a well-dressed desk! This gift item is a simple way to create a rotating art display with 12 of your photos that sit as textured paper prints in a wood block.” Minimal, modern and warm…my favorite kind of design.

Wooden Box “The perfect home for your photo books or prints. Our wooden box features a customizable printed lid with your choice of text or an image. Best part? The box is handcrafted with reclaimed mountain beetle pine.”
Postcard Pack “Upload your favorite images to build a pack of 20 unique postcards on high quality 100% recycled paper.”

I hope you like this company as much as I do. Not only do they make beautiful things, they are a beautiful company with a big heart. For more information about Artifact Uprising, read their story HERE.
