Built in 1971, Boxwood Cottage was a closed and choppy ranch until designer Ashley Hardison, founder of FIG Design, gave it new life. The Tennessee home was in need of renovation and expansion when she and her husband Mark purchased it 14 years ago. Ashley completely reconfigured the living space, which included the addition of a 1,200 square-foot enclosed porch. They also planted over 200 boxwoods to help cozy up the landscape.

Raised in a home of a general contractor, Ashley loved the excitement that floor plans, design and site visits brought to everyday life. Her childhood home was constantly being tweaked, renovated, and added to in order to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. For Ashley’s family, home was a place to make memories, to rest and to entertain friends and family. In each stage of life, Ashley enjoyed her mother and father’s commitment to love and serve their friends and family by cultivating a loving environment filled with meaningful details. All of the visits to auctions, flea markets, and antique shops with her family developed her love for all things home and she began dreaming of one day starting her own company based on the foundation her parents gave. Today, Ashley draws on the inspiration her upbringing provided to create similar meaningful experiences to her clients through designing excellent spaces for her clients to thrive.
