MEET THE DUO
Two creative hearts.
One shared vision.
We’re Leif and Jaimee Shires.
Musicians. Design collaborators. The people behind Southern Accent.
OUR STORY
Good things start
with a little inspiration.
We’ve been part of Nashville’s music scene since the early 2000s. In February 2021, our creative work took a new direction: designing and building accent walls.
What began as a side project grew through word of mouth. In July 2022, Southern Accent, LLC was formed. The work may look different from a night on stage, but the things we care about feel familiar: listening, working together, and getting the details right.
We love discovering what makes a space—and the people in it—unique. Whether you’re drawn to a modern geometric pattern, something rustic, or a more traditional detail, we want the result to reflect your personality.
A PERSONAL APPROACH
Your ideas.
Our full attention.
We start by listening.
The first conversation is about your room, your taste, and what you hope to change.
We design with you.
Bring a favorite image, a clear vision, or simply a feeling. We’ll explore the direction together.
We care for your space.
During installation, we strive to keep our footprint small and treat your home with care.
LET’S CREATE SOMETHING PERSONAL
Your wall. Your style.
Our kind of project.
Have a vision? Still finding it?
Either way, we’d love to hear about your space.
