SOUTHERN CHARM[ER]
when a repeat client purchases ten acres outside of nashville with plans to build their dream home high on a bluff, overlooking rolling hills + magenta sunsets, you gather your girlies + giddy up — and look to the queen for the right attitude:
“it’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world.” [so true, Dolly]. no country clichés here, tho — that’s not how we do.
this hilltop house is a total gemini: two personalities, one rocksteady vibe. one part earth goddess [tree stumps and stools, hair-on hides, crystal slabs] + one part rock ‘n’ roll [lacquered accents, stark contrasts, disco balls and fringe for days].
the magic is in the details: passthrough shelves to frame a doorway, a built-in bar wrapped with vintage belts.
but there’s more. gold studs for the stairway runner, a snake wallcovering on the ceiling, some subtle sparkle to the tile to catch the sunlight… look closely or you might miss it. chakra-cleansing selenite sconces, saved horseshoes framed in lucite boxes [love you, Laru] — she’s sentimental, too.
and because your girl loves an encore, we ran a silky shag rug across the floor and up over the primary headboard for the mic drop.
