Interiors of a Storyteller

Through stories of triumph, missteps, and everything in between, Sabbe invites readers into the personal journey that shaped her—not only as a designer, but as a person. Told through intimate (and often hilarious) essays, she shares the experiences and motivations behind her work, from building a new-old home to restoring forgotten historic spaces with fresh purpose.

Grounded in a deep respect for the past, Sabbe reflects on how history informs her design process while she watches the architectural character of her Nashville hometown disappear day by day. Honest, heartfelt, and sharply written, her stories move between the hope of preservation and the reality of letting go.

Featuring nine beautifully photographed projects, this book is ultimately about comfort, belonging, and the art of creating a home.
