Art director and set designer Colson Horton welcomed us into her Nashville home - a space where sculptural objects hold court, dance breaks are routine, and nature occasionally knocks at the door. Jerome, a green-painted Greek bust, watches it all from his marble perch. The white couch? Don’t ask.

We lit Bow Baby and Bound, and heard stories of baby deer, soft silk scents, and the little things that make a space feel truly lived in.

What’s the most unexpected thing that’s happened in this space?

Our sunroom overlooks the woods and my small garden, and we back up to a state park - so there’s always wildlife nearby. Last year, we briefly housed a baby fawn until it was adopted by a doe. It was magical! Fitz, now a young buck, still visits from time to time. I try not to interfere, but I feel lucky to share space with nature.

What object in this room holds a secret about you?

I spilled chocolate on our white couch and couldn’t get it out… so I blamed it on my elderly parents. Do we have time to unpack that? We’re having it reupholstered (and no, not in white this time).

When you’re alone in this space, what’s the thing you do that no one else knows about?

Oh, I dance - I mean, everyone probably knows that by now. I love it. I get weird with it. I throw on whatever music I’m feeling and have a full-on Flashdance/Footloose moment around the house.

If you could live as one of your objects. Which one and why?

I have a green-painted Greek bust named Jerome. He wears a tribal necklace gifted to me by a friend in Tanzania and sits on a vintage marble plinth. He’s always there — quietly observing, yet very much part of the party. I like to think he has the best view in the house.

How would you describe the Bow Baby scent?

There’s something polished about Bow Baby, but it still feels deeply personal. It opens with soft, almost translucent florals, then settles into something warm and quiet — like silk that’s been lived in. It’s not loud, just… thoughtful. Like anything in a well-designed space, it fades beautifully into the mood.
