nytime we get to explore Nashville’s stunning homes, whether for an event or an assignment, it’s always a treat. That’s one of the reasons our annual Design Issue is a staff favorite. From an angular “treehouse” to an eclectic Victorian, we’re taking you inside four of the most breathtaking and unique residences in the area on page 61. Narrowing down the list is never an easy task, but we feel confident our selections offer something that will appeal to everyone, regardless of your design sensibilities. This year’s crop of enviable interiors showcases the unparalleled style and hard work of some of our city’s brightest designers, architects and homeowners. You may recognize one such star on our cover: the adorable

(and 7 months pregnant!) Rachel Halvorson, whose renovations of a Franklin farmhouse have garnered national attention for her and the home. The photo shoot was so much fun that even Howie, the family dog, tried to sneak into a few of the shots. Private homes aren’t the only places these local talents are displaying their great taste; they’re spreading the love to commercial spaces, as well. On page 79, Abby White gives you a sneak peek at four new restaurants helping Nashville’s culinary scene look better than ever. From a hip coffee shop to a re-imagined saloon, there are plenty of places to spend the cooler autumn days ahead. Order a drink for us and we’ll meet you there! NaNcy Floyd, Editor

ave you ever wondered what that silver tea set from your grandmother’s house is worth? Do you have a family estate that will need to be dealt with in the future? Or maybe you’ve secretly never liked that tea set and would love to sell it, if it’s worth anything after all. In these situations, you need John C. Jones, Nashville-based appraiser and broker of fine art. Growing up in Mountainbrook, Ala., John often attended auctions with his grandparents, who were collectors. By the age of 10, he had a walking cane collection. “I’ve always been curious about where things came from,” John says. “I can always see the beauty in stuff.” John majored in public relations at the University of Alabama with a minor in art history, and after school he went to work for CNN. Before long, he realized that early mornings in windowless newsrooms were not for him, so he moved to New York and entered a graduate program for art history and appraisal studies. Upon graduation he became the Southeastern Representative for

Freeman’s in Philadelphia, the oldest auction house in America. A couple of years back, John decided to venture out on his own so he could work with all of the major auction houses instead of just one. He is now a contracted appraiser and broker with Pall Mall Art Advisors, the second largest international appraisal firm in the United States, so his services are backed by a huge team of specialists. If there is a bottle of wine, he sends the information to a spirits specialist, and if there’s a piece of folk art, he sends it to the folk art specialist. “There is no way one person can know everything about everything,” says John, “so it is in my best interest and my clients’ best interests to be connected with a firm.” The majority of John’s business comes through wealth managers and estate planning companies, but he works with insurance companies, businesses (like Belle Meade Country Club) and individuals, as well. He will take a piece from appraisal to sale and everything in between. If you need appraisal, consulting or brokering services on any scale, contact John at jcjones.appraiser@gmail.com.

alking into the Frist on the night of the Art Deco Affair was a veritable trip back in time. This, of course, was due to the attendees’ diligent adherence to the invitation’s suggestion that period attire was strongly encouraged. The beautiful halls of the Frist were filled with even more beautifully clothed ladies and gentlemen, nodding to an era in which we put a little more thought— and a lot more time—into the way we presented ourselves for an evening on the town. While some guests wandered through the Frist’s current exhibits, including Watch Me Move and Real/Surreal, most attendees stayed in the Grand Lobby, enjoying the impressive spread by Sharon Johnson Catering, featuring passed hors d’œuvres of petite grit fingers, margarita flatbread pizza bites and cayenne cheese bites. The former postal stations served as food stations, offering a massive artisan cheese board with antipasti, vegetables and gorgeous dried fruits, egg salad caviar, poached salmon with accoutre-

Guests arrived at Anthem, which was decked out to resemble a cruise ship, down to the artificial port windows on the booth walls. Upstairs, VIPs enjoyed specialty cocktails—the Coral Sea Breeze and the Ruby Love Pop—while they noshed on blue corn fritters, veggie falafel, wings and shrimp cocktail. There was also plenty of champagne to go around. Meanwhile, downstairs, the lively crowd hit the dance floor—showing off some choreographed skills during “Happy”—and celebrated Jennifer with a delicious cake.

upporters of Humanities Tennessee and the Southern Festival of Books gathered for a Kick-off Party for the seventh annual Authors in the Round Dinner. Hosted by co-

espite impending storms, no one delayed driving to Mary and Mike Spalding’s home for the Mad Hatter Patrons Party. The event preceded the perennially popular Mad Hatter party benefiting the Sexual Assault Center. Co-hosts Laura and John Chadwick and Elizabeth and Bob Dennis were thrilled with the turnout. A steady stream of supporters began walking through the doors right at 6 p.m. sharp, and it never slowed down. Mad Hatter co-chairs Allison DeMarcus and Jennie Garth Lowe looked calm even though the big

chairs Neil Krugman and Lee Pratt, the event brought the planning committee together for a cocktail party. While a late summer storm brewed outside, guests relaxed inside Neil and Lee’s house, refreshed by wine and light bites by Emily Frith, including prosciutto and melon, mini BLTs, grilled shrimp skewers and the most delicious chocolate cookies. The group was excited to talk about Authors in the Round, which gives bibliophiles the opportunity to dine with a nationally recognized writer for the evening. This year, more than 40 authors will attend the dinner at War Memorial, which is always a highlight of the festival. The dinner’s signature art will be provided by Herb Williams; several of his

ginger beer combo was just right for the steamy evening. The passed hors d’œuvres from T Party were the perfect accompaniment. Guests snacked on bacon and tomato sandwiches, cheese dreams, Brie and fig canapés and beef tenderloin crostini. The only thing that stopped the buzzy chatter about the stunning home, the Mules and the upcoming party were words from Lisa Campbell and Tim Tohill, president of SAC. Lisa welcomed the large crowd, acknowledging, “some of these people have been here since the very first one.” And she should know: she’s a founder of the event. Once Lisa and Tim were done with their heartfelt thanks, the boisterous group quickly resumed the laughter and chatter. Spotted in the crowd were Sandra Lipman, Ellen Martin and Gerry Nadeau, Lisa Cole, Lourdes Garrido, Chris Coates and Barbe Barker, Lee Ann and George Anderson, Nancy and John Cheadle, David Brown, Karen Moore, Melody Telfer, Elizabeth James and Frank and Allison Bass.

Guests mixed and mingled beneath towering hardwoods on the lawn where tables dressed in tangerine plaid silk cloths were centered with divine arrangements of roses and sunflowers by Steve McLellan of Garden Delights. The home, Jasmine Grove, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was used as a field hospital during the Battle of Franklin and was open for touring all evening. Capping the evening was a champagne toast at sunset on the scenic back lawn. It was indeed an evening to remember, not only because of the event itself, but for the 10,000 lives that were lost in the tragic Civil War battle of 1864. Among those mixing and mingling were Ronald and Marty Ligon. Marty, who chaired the first Heritage Ball 41 years ago, will serve as honorary chair this year.

recently held its 15th annual Royal Gala at the Loveless Barn. The event’s name refers to Queen Victoria, who carried the genetic disorder. As her children and grandchildren married into royal families of Europe, this disease of princes earned the name “The Royal Disease.” The event provides funds for educational programs and resources for families affected by hemophilia, including Camp Freedom, a week-long camp for hemophiliacs and carriers. Event chair Shelley Moore welcomed guests and directed them to the main room where John Jarrett, who has hemoChris philia and is active in THBDF, played piano favorites while guests considered silent auctions items and bought tickets for the Royal Jewels drawing. Likita LyonsMurry went home that night with a diamond necklace! It isn’t hard to get people seated for dinner at the Loveless. This night’s meal began with Blue Ribbon salad, ended with red velvet cheesecake, and provided plenty of famous biscuits in between. As always, the program was moving. Board president Suzie Harlan shared her family’s story—her twins Jesse and Joey have the disease. Mavis Harrop received the Victoria’s Cup Award for her work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Vanderbilt’s Hemostasis Clinic at VUMC from 1989 to 2013. Following the hearty dinner and live auction led by Joey Seals, big band jazz brought people to the dance floor, thanks to The Jazz Alliance. Lifetime board member Jan van Eys and Judith Hodges, Jamie Harlan, Chad and Amy Hill, Peter and Patti van Eys, Jim and Tari Hughes, Derek and Jill Vance, Mike and Barbara Ward and Jim and Louise Hardaway were among those celebrating the successful evening.

All the shopping was for a good cause, of course, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Conservancy for the Parthenon and Centennial Park. For four years, Cindy Carlson and Karin Wilkinson, good friends of Ellen’s, have commandeered a couple of rooms and filled them with fine jewelry, drop earrings and leather and pearl necklaces. “We’ve had a lot of supportive shoppers,” remarked Cindy. Prices ranged from $79 for a Buddha pendant necklace to several thousand dollars for a multi-stone bracelet. A

On the day we dropped by, Susan Edwards, Autumn Parrott and Angela Butler left the Frist Center for a bit and wisely spent their lunch hour trying on link necklaces and pendant earrings. Other goddesses checking out gold, pearls and semi-precious stones were Hilda McGregor, Holly Wilds, Clare Armistead, Marcia Echols, Anne Russell, Dara Russell, Carol Rochford, Ann Dobson, Janice Lovvorn and Sally Henderson.

Tour for a Cause Everyone loves a good house tour, especially if it offers a peek at one of Nashville’s large, unique and historic homes. On Oct. 30, Family and Children’s Service and interior design firm Smythe & Cortlandt will showcase the newly renovated and redesigned residence at 109 Westhampton Place. The 8,000-square-foot home was built in the 1960s by healthcare pioneer Dr. Herbert Schulman and his wife (their son Tom wrote Dead Poets Society). The house drew attention because of its modern design, which wasn’t popular at the time, at least not in Belle Meade. Anthony Tinghitella and John Fulcher of Smythe & Cortlandt recently purchased and renovated the home in preparation for the opening of their Nashville office. They kept some key original features, including Sherle Wagner fixtures, a Russian crystal chandelier and several works of art, but the list of renovations runs much longer. The house has been completely opened up, and every room has a view of the newly expanded and designed gardens. They’ve installed state-of-the-art appliances, including a Lutron lighting system, geo-thermal system with 13 wells and decked out spa bathroom. New works of art include pieces from the Wooster Projects in New York, and antiques from Anthony and John’s extensive travels fill the home. As for the rest, well, you’ll just have to come have a cocktail and see for yourself. The event is sponsored by CapStar Bank and benefits FCS’s Connecting Kids program, which prepares children in state custody for adoption. It is by invitation only with a minimum donation of $100, but you can contact Beth Raebeck Hall at beth.hall@fcsnashville.org to receive an invite.

A beautiful History If you’re searching for the perfect combination of rich tradition and timeless beauty in an event space, look no further than one of the newest available venues: the historic Ravenswood Mansion. In 1825, millionaire James Hazard Wilson II and his blushing bride Emeline fell in love and said, “I do.” As a gift for his new wife, James built an exquisite mansion and chris-

Home Goods in the Gulch

courtesy of Two Old Hippies

If you haven’t been to the Gulch recently, it’s time for an outing, because the area is ablaze with growth and change. One of the most exciting new businesses comes from the owners of another popular Gulch store, Two Old Hippies. Customers were always asking owners Molly and Tom Bedell if they could purchase the furniture and fixtures in the store, so when space opened up down the street, they decided to open a home goods store. The store, called 2OH Next, has the same philosophy as Two Old Hippies: to find sources that are unknown in the area and bring in products that no one else in Nashville offers. The style of 2OH Next is more modern and contemporary than its sister store while maintaining the same eclectic feel. One of the furniture lines, Lee Industries, boasts custom chairs and couches with volumes of fabric to choose from, including leather, shearling and mohair. There is a large selection of fine art and prints and a huge bookcase full of beautiful pottery pieces. They sell barware, dishware, cookware and bakeware (pretty much all your wares are covered), wedding gifts, cookbooks and design books. They also have a beautiful assortment of pillows and throws from South Africa, accent tables, lamps and an amazing collection of vintage rugs. You can even tell them the size, style and color of the rug you want and they will have it delivered to the store from their supplier in New York. So what are you waiting for? Get on down to the Gulch and see what’s new.

Construction is nothing new in Nashville. Just take a stroll around Belmont’s campus, and you’ll see more hard hats than backpacks. So, when a large project began in the center of the thriving Gulch neighborhood, no one was really surprised. Another series of offices or an apartment building? Not exactly. What started out as such turned into a luxury condominium tower unlike anything else on the market right now. Located at 1212 Laurel Street, Twelve Twelve houses 286 residences—ranging from 703 to 1,867 square feet—within its glass-encased 23 stories. All of the high-rise’s seven penthouses have already been reserved, and many of the oneand two-bedroom units are quickly being snatched up. Not only does Twelve Twelve offer the space and ownership opportunity that apartments lack, the amenities do not disappoint. The building is meant to serve as a community, not just a structure. A heated saline pool with an accompanying lounge and an inviting terrace create spaces to escape from the confines of the building and socialize with fellow residents. Translucent decks reveal breathtaking views of the city, and a 3,800-square-foot wellness center offers inhabitants the chance to stay fit without ever having to leave the building (though there are dozens of businesses and restaurants within walking distance if fresh air is your thing). With condominiums of its kind at least two to three years from development, Twelve Twelve is without competition. To inquire about availability, visit twelvetwelve.com or call 615-307-1212.

tened it “Ravenswood” after his best man Sam Houston, a man the Cherokees affectionately called “the Raven.” In 1961, Reese and Marcella Vivrette Smith Jr. purchased the historic home and 500 acres surrounding it, recreating a portion of the original plantation. With love and attention to detail, the couple restored Ravenswood to its former glory, a painstakingly preserved remnant of the vibrant history of the area. In January 2009, their three sons approached the City of Brentwood to discuss selling the plantation and preserving it for generations to come. Nearly two years later, the City of Brentwood purchased the property for a cool $10 million. Now, as a testament to the love with which it was originally built, the Ravenswood Mansion has been made available to the public for weddings, receptions and corporate events. The property can accommodate 75-100 people for a formal seated dinner and 200 people for a standing reception. The mansion itself includes an intimate interior wedding space as well as changing rooms for the bride and groom. Couples also have the option of a wedding ceremony on the lawn, surrounded by the beautiful pastoral scenery that makes the property so special. The Ravenswood Mansion is currently accepting reservations. To inquire about this historic gem for your event, please contact Amanda Bledsoe at 615-371-0060 or visit brentwood-tn.org.

Let freedom sing Night of Freedom brings hope and change

A Justin and Carolanne King

Ben Cooley, Natalie Grant

s the old saying goes, change is a good thing. Abolition International knows that change is a life-altering, nonpareil force for victims of human trafficking, but for the organization’s Night of Freedom event, why change a good thing? Held at Debbie and Michael W. Smith’s Deer Valley Farm for the fourth consecutive year, the fête resembled its earlier incarnations with staples such as twinkle lights glowing in the rafters of the rustic barn, down-home grub from Martin’s Bar-B-Que and plans for hope. After a lively cocktail hour on the lawn accented with tunes from Old Towne Project, guests sat down to circular white-draped tables with black chairs in the interior of the glistening barn. Wildflowers stuffed in mason jars and stacked on top of old books acted as centerpieces along with one-of-a-kind birdhouses painted by girls living in a safe house in Cambodia. As attendees noshed on the Southern fare, they were treated to a lovely acoustic set by Sugar + The Hi Lows while band members Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup expressed their combined passion for the fight against human trafficking. The silent auction outside was open for bids all evening with items ranging from an Ultimate Date Night with tickets to the Nashville Symphony and dinner at Sopapilla’s to A Grand Ole Opry package. Breaking in during the bevy of talented entertainment, President and Executive Director of Abolition International Stacia Freeman remembered herself and cofounder Natalie Grant as “two chicks at Starbucks with a dream for freedom” as she shared their sweet success story. After Stacia detailed the organization’s progress on the aftercare home for minors announced at last year’s event, Natalie reiterated the core of Abolition International’s mission of hope—“the thing that never dies no matter how hard it gets”—and shared news about even more change coming to the organization: a merger with Hope for Justice and Transitions Global. Moving forward, the organization will be known as Hope for Justice, but one thing won’t be changing: their commitment to fight human trafficking. Erin Crabtree photographs by Michael W. Bunch continued on page 36

Running wild The Nashville Zoo breaks records at Sunset Safari

t was a record-breaking night at the Nashville Zoo as Sunset Safari welcomed their largest crowd in history. And with warm weather, a bevy of food and beverage options from Nashville’s finest restaurants and a chance for some face time with a host of wild animals, it’s no surprise. Who could resist the fun-filled grown-up night at the zoo? Co-chairs Cynthia Arnholt, Kerrie Johnson and Nora Kirby were thrilled to be at the helm of this year’s fundraiser as they welcomed guests to the lively Patrons Party in the Croft Center. Partygoers noshed on bites from Chef David Miller—a welcome appetizer to the culinary delights from more than 40 restaurants that awaited—and enjoyed entertainment from illusionist Kevin King. The guests garnering the most attention, however, were the adorable furry and feathered friends from Jungle Jack Hanna’s collection at the Columbus Zoo. There was a lengthy line of folks eager to take a photo alongside Trout, the charming penguin who visited Nashville earlier this year and took a dip in the Smallwoods’ pool at the Claws, Paws and Jaws Donor Society party. While patrons waited to meet Trout, they also visited with PJ the two-toed sloth who was, well, “hanging out” on a pole near the line. Out in the zoo, things were getting wild as Music City Burlesque dancers entertained the crowd with some safari-themed performances. Plenty of the park’s popular residents—including hawks, tortoises and anteaters, oh my!—kept busy posing for photos with new friends. And, of course, there was the food! More than 40 vendors dished out goodies ranging from shrimp ceviche to berry sorbet. New faces from Nashville’s growing epicurean scene, including Pinewood Social, Moto and 312 Pizza Company, were a welcome addition to the party’s food purveyors. As the animals returned to their habitats for the night, it was time for the humans to return to theirs, but everyone left with full bellies and full hearts, a sign of another successful year of Sunset Safari.

In full swing Spectators flaunt their style at Chukkers for Charity

ome humidity or high water, nothing could dampen the spirits of the crowd at this year’s Nissan Chukkers for Charity. Hosted once again by Lee Ann and Orrin Ingram, the 18th annual Chukkers made polo fans out of everyone, especially the ladies, who were seen craning their necks to get a good look at Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, otherwise known as the face of Ralph Lauren’s Black Label. Also out on the field joining players from around the world were Orrin, Zulu Scott-Barnes—who had quite the cheering section in his wife, Susannah, and their three beautiful children—and the lone lady on the field, Cathy Brown, who did double duty as an event chair along with Mary Kate Brown, Jennifer Parker, Tarah Webber and Lexie Armstrong. Spectators gathered on both sides of the field for the match, filling the sold-out tent on one end, or scattered throughout festively decorated cabanas on the other. While Lisa Harrington’s Alice in Wonderland-themed cabana took the coveted top prize, we were also blown away by the My Fair Lady-inspired décor that Julie Long and her fashionable friends created right next door. At halftime, everybody scrambled out for the ritual divot stomping, concurrent with Autoweek’s Classic Car Show, featuring 20 vehicles with some pretty fancy history (one of Carl Haley’s showstoppers was a Rolls-Royce that was once owned by Bing Crosby). After the kids took over the field with cuteness for the stick horse race, everyone filed back to their respective viewing areas to watch the rest of the match and enjoy delicious fare by Sargent’s and a potent signature cocktail, the Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire-fueled Apple Jack. When summer’s last swing drew to a close, Team Autoweek/Nissan won with a final score of 10 to 7, and $160,000 was raised to benefit the Rochelle Center and Saddle Up!

Passing the torch Sexual Assault Center’s Mad Hatter celebrates 20 years

onprofits in Nashville know the way to continue raising funds for their organizations is to tap into new markets and, most certainly, younger ones. As Baby Boomers hand over the reins to the Millennials, they know they can advance their causes well into the future. With that thought in mind, the Sexual Assault Center was spot-on with their selection of Allison DeMarcus and Jennie Garth Lowe as chairs of this year’s Mad Hatter. Sexual assault is not an easy subject to discuss, as Advisory Board member Lisa Campbell so freely shared with the crowd of 450-plus in the ballroom of The Hutton Hotel, but one that is most certainly important, especially to the two mothers of young daughters who enthusiastically said yes to the SAC’s request. The theme of the event was, well, pink—a lovely whisper pink that covered everything inside the Hutton, including the two beautiful chairmen, who were both a vision to behold in their pale pink diaphanous dresses and beautiful blonde coifs. But don’t let these pretty-in-pink ladies fool you, they are tough go-getters when it comes to supporting their families, friends and causes close to their hearts, and this sold-out soirée was no exception. If there was a flaw, it was that patrons were having so much fun at the silent auction/cocktail reception that it took a while to corral everyone into their seats for dinner! Most would call that a compliment to the event planners, and indeed it was. After being welcomed and thanked for their support by President Tim Tohill and Lisa, guests resumed their socializing while enjoying the scrumptious meal of watermelon and feta salad, Coulotte steak with dauphinoise potatoes, mushroom and leek confit with 1808 Sauce, and a difficult choice of dulce de leche dome and Florentine tuile or red velvet cake. The tables were covered in baby pink satin with matching napkins and centerpieces of white hydrangeas and pink roses in mirrored vases with matching votives. They were low enough that everyone at the

table could see and chat with those across from them. Always the sign of a well planned party! Sharon Sandahl, customarily a showstopper in her extensive collection of vintage clothes, wore a salmon silk coat with rhinestone buttons for this gathering. Explaining how she knew about the pink theme in advance, she advised, “I always look at the invitation. It will generally show you the thrust of the party.” Good tip to remember! This successful benefit is the premiere fundraiser for the SAC. Over the past 20 years, it has become one of Nashville’s leading charitable events, and with its multi-generational approach, it’s sure to carry forth the passion, fun and energy for another 20!

Getting kinky The TPAC Gala draws inspiration from Broadway’s Kinky Boots

he TPAC Gala has the unique advantage, as far as fundraising events go, to flirt with a new theme every year, as inspired by one of the Broadway shows to grace the theater’s stage in the coming season. This year was certainly no exception, with everyone getting wild and kinky for the Kinky Boots-inspired fête. Everyone was seeing red as they arrived, walking down a red carpet under the glow of a red light while a fun and upbeat playlist of ’80s hits created a lively mood. If anyone thought for a moment this black-tie shindig would be stuffy, the line of fabulous drag queens greeting guests in the lobby quickly quelled those fears. Co-chairs Anita Cash and Marci Houff were also on hand to welcome partygoers, the latter in an edgy lace-up red corset with fringed skirt and thigh-high boots. Kinky, indeed. After nibbling on passed hors d’œuvres—the potato fritters stuffed with squash and porcini mushrooms and topped with herb pesto aioli were particularly delicious—and perusing an ample silent auction, guests made their way to the stage of Andrew Jackson Hall for dinner. The crimson craze continued with tablecloths, water glasses and flowers in the same hue. Even the silverware was appropriately dressed for the occasion, wrapped in black napkins and then sheathed with handcut, hand-wrapped and hand-tied corsets, also in red. As guests noshed on grilled romaine salads, Board Chair Dale Allen and TPAC President and CEO Kathleen O’Brien welcomed the crowd and handed out the corporate and individual Applause Awards to Bank of America and Eddie George, respectively. Eddie, who’s not afraid to “tackle” any role as Kathleen put it, was genuinely moved by the honor stating that after his illustrious football career, “the arts were my saving grace.” Following dinner and dessert, partygoers gave their kinky footwear a spin on the dance floor, fueled by the nostalgic ’80s cover tunes of Guilty Pleasures.

“

Focusing on clean lines without any fuss was the goal of the project.

The modern makeover

5353 Hillsboro Pike

hen the time came for Collie and Greg Daily to renovate the main level of their Hillsboro Road home, designer Chad James had his work cut out for him. The 18,000-squarefoot manse was a statement in Old Worldmeets-Southern opulence, originally decorated 17 years ago when the Dailys purchased it. “The house is massive,” Chad says. “And it was extremely dated.” The task was two-fold: streamline the space and cozy it up. “We wanted to update and get a fresh look... focusing on clean lines without any fuss,” Collie says. While the couple wanted a more contemporary living space, it was important that the new aesthetic welcomed some of their old furnishings. Taking a nod from the home’s French architecture, they reworked the best of their collection of antiques and seamlessly

incorporated them into the refreshed space. Custom-designed furniture and light fixtures now find a home next to more ornate pieces and family heirlooms that have been restyled to mesh with the updated design. The end result is a thoughtful, cohesive blend of new and old. In an effort to modernize the home, Collie chose sleek furnishings, finishes and materials in a neutral palette and a variety of textures. One of the chief considerations was the Dailys' contemporary art collection. “The background needed to be much quieter so the art could take center stage,” Chad says. Walls were painted a soothing white dove color and creamy drapes were used to divide the cavernous spaces to create more intimate, cozy living areas. The renovations took 18 months, with the most significant changes made in the kitchen and master bath. As someone who cooks din-

ner every night, Collie wanted a functional and beautiful kitchen where everyone could congregate. The former galley kitchen was gutted and expanded to create a wide gathering space with ample seating, usable work areas and a spectacular view. The master bath, which formerly housed a sunken bathtub in the center of the room, now boasts separate water closets, a lavish soaking tub and a fully enclosed glass shower overlooking lush greenery to bring the outdoors in. After nearly two decades of warm memories that include giant Christmas trees in the foyer and four kids rollerblading down the 86-foot gallery hallway, Collie and Greg will pass the home onto another lucky owner to make memories of their own: chic, elegant memories in calming neutral hues, no doubt.

1704 Old Hillsboro Road This home is currently on the market with Worth Properties, LLC. For more information, please contact Laura Baugh at 615-330-3051 or laurabaugh3@gmail.com.

The comfortable farmhouse 1704 Old Hillsboro Road

riving out Old Hillsboro Road is a treat. Green pastures lie past stacked stone walls, long driveways wind beyond imposing gates. One wonders about the homes beyond. Past the gate at 1704 Old Hillsboro Road sits a 7,500-square-foot home surrounded by 31 rolling acres. Jennifer and Johnny Reid bought the house in November 2011. The combination farmhouse/“contemporary dentist’s office” needed considerable work to accommodate the family of six. With only rough plans for the job, Jen knew she needed help. A friend recommended Rachel Halvorson. Rachel earned her interior design degree at The University of Georgia and worked under a few designers before branching out on her own in 2009. By 2010, she landed the cover of Garden & Gun’s September issue for her work on Ronnie Dunn’s guesthouse. Praise has been pouring in since. The Reids’ home is a beautiful example of Rachel’s unpretentious style and ability to work with clients, rather than for them. In this case, it was easy. “We see eye to eye on everything,” says Rachel. At their

first meeting, Jen and Rachel bonded over Pinterest, each having pinned many similar items. The collaboration resulted in a perfect balance of rustic, feminine and simple. The interiors are as calm and serene as the surrounding countryside. The pair did not want to distract from the views, so they chose a neutral palette of whites, creams and grays. Not one to go overboard on “farmhouse,” Rachel was very selective with rustic touches such as pecky cypress ceilings in the dining room and hallway, and a rolling barn door to Jen’s office. Vintage elements like the pantry door from Preservation Station and light fixtures add character. When the two could not find exactly what they were looking for, Rachel turned to her team of craftsmen to create items of her own design, including two porch swings. These elements tie the house back to the land and add character to the home. After a little more than year of renovations, the Reids moved in. Jen’s mother said, “This home captures your personality.” For Rachel and Jen, that’s the best compliment either could receive.

The luxury treehouse

Five Saint James Place

he mission in the design (Tuck-Hinton Architects) and construction (Dean Davenport) of Five Saint James Place was to suit a couple’s distinct aesthetics, marrying the contemporary, angular look he favored with her affinity for a rustic, organic style. When driving up the long, winding asphalt driveway that encircles the five-plus acre lot in Forest Hills, you’ll find a 7,000-square-foot structure that clearly exceeded this mission. Five Saint James Place, enveloped by a heavily wooded lot that provides the ultimate refuge for a couple seeking privacy, offers a luxurious living space that welcomes the warmth of the outdoors into this contemporary steel construction filled with amenities including skylights, custom cabinetry and built-ins, limestone and repurposed hardwood flooring. Under the watchful eye of Seab Tuck, the home was fashioned to include ample open

space on the main level, accessible from a striking two-story entry, where you’ll see a design feature that is beautifully repeated throughout the house: stacked stone. Another unique element that is replicated throughout the five levels is a 15-degree angle, which reflects the triangular design and shape of the house. A picture of the draft shows this angle and once you start looking for it, you’ll notice it’s used in countertops, railings, doors, hearths (the home has three fireplaces) and in myriad other inventive ways. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the expansive living and dining rooms allow the heavily wooded area to serve as the backdrop. Interior designer William Peace (Peace Design) accented the reclaimed wood floors and neutral walls with sharp, modern furniture. In the winter, you can see directly into downtown Nashville, but in the summer, the dense, wooded lot makes you

feel as if you’re hours, and not minutes, away from the city. This view is perfectly captured in the formerly screened-in, two-story porch (converted to a year-round sunroom), an upscale yet comfortable seating area complete with a swing and hot tub off the entry of the master suite. If there’s anything that can compete with the view this home offers, it’s the sight of the entrance to the master bedroom, flanked with bookcases in the sitting area and at the headboard of the master bed. Neutrals drench the space, and the books’ bindings provide a colorful flair. The kitchen, laundry room and gym areas are carefully concealed from the main living and entertaining space, and two living suites (each with a kitchen and full bathroom) provide a quiet space for guests, exemplifying the spirit of a house built on the principles of convenience, comfort, privacy and elegance.

The Bohemian Victorian

2012 25th Avenue

ntering the front door of Robin and Karin Eaton’s stunning 1850s home, you’re immediately hit with the feeling that you’re about to experience something spectacular. Known as “Glen Oak,” the structure is the lone survivor of its era in the Hillsboro West End neighborhood and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Though Glen Oak suffered cannon damage from the Civil War, a hazard from being on the battle line of the Battle of Nashville, it stands strong and stately over a century and a half later. The front entry’s Gothic arch, a design element rare in historic Southern architecture, leads the way into the grand foyer, covered in the most glorious wallpaper you’ve ever seen and adorned with a beautiful piece by Karin’s company, Ironware, which sourced many of the light fixtures throughout the house. A welcoming and intriguing space, the foyer hints at the many treasures that await your discovery as you enter each room. If houses could tell stories, this one would surely have many to share, and the Eatons have spent the past 20 years filling it with items that boast equally rich tales. Karin, who describes the house as “magical,” admits that “something clicked” when they moved in with their then 3-year-old daughter in 1994. While she appreciates a clean, modern design aesthetic, Karin jokes that “minimalist” doesn’t really work in this space, and she clearly has an affinity for objects with integrity and soul.

The paint colors have changed at least four times, and the current incarnation has several shades of white throughout the house, a complementary canvas for the paintings, photographs, prints, family heirlooms and other treasures from around the world that adorn the walls, built-in bookshelves and marble mantels (the home has eight functioning fireplaces). Paintings and drawings by Robin’s artist grandmother mirror anarchy posters from the 1960s, and colorful rugs drape the original wood floors, anchored by antique furniture and flea market gems. If there’s a repeating theme weaving throughout the rooms, it could be described as upscale Bohemian. The dining room, adjacent to a light-filled kitchen that was added on to the original structure, offers ample seating for guests. A library, which Robin is also using as a recording studio, sits off the dining room, and a large guest bedroom lies between two “family” or “living” room spaces, one with a large couch and TV, and the other with a pool table. A beautiful master bedroom (over a century ago, it served as the nursery for five children), and a simply marvelous renovated bathroom, complete with restored stained-glass windows that were original to the house, can be found upstairs. The Eatons have lovingly restored this house—in all, it has four bedrooms, two half and two full bathrooms—keeping the integrity of the historic building while allowing for modern amenities.

Dining Meets Design Four new restaurants keep Nashville’s culinary scene looking good by Abby White

With Josephine, owner Miranda Whitcomb Pontes wanted to create an environment that would make you wonder if you’re still in Nashville. Architect Nick Dryden played a major role in the design of the Brooklyn-inspired 12South hotspot, which is filled with a charming assortment of furnishings sourced from Boston flea markets, Amsterdam Modern in Los Angeles, counters from Francois and Co. and antiqued mirrors by local artist Amy Smith. One of Miranda’s favorite spots in the space is the community table—the perfect place to make new friends while enjoying a great view of the open kitchen—composed of wood from a bowling alley.

Acme Feed and Seed, which anchors the corner of First and Broadway, features four distinct levels offering a variety of options including a sushi bar, a rooftop patio, live music and pinball games. According to proprietor Tom Morales, the inviting décor is intended to make customers feel as relaxed as if they were entertaining at home. To achieve this, Tom consulted with a team—including his set decorator sister Leslie, who boasts over 30 years in the movie industry, and American Pickers’ Mike Wolfe—to search high and low for the vintage signs, historical photos and unique furnishings that fill the massive building.

For the revamped Sutler, Austin Ray—with the assistance of consultants Nick Dryden and Kim Martin—combined elements of the beloved original with a theatrical flair to create a modern-day saloon filled with energy and soul. Tufted leather banquette seating provides a comfortable view of the stage, accented with curtains and a cowboy boot-covered wall. (The staircase that descends to the basement speakeasy is also covered in boots—look up while you walk down!) While you’re admiring the wormy maple tabletops, see if you can find the one sporting a lodged bullet of unknown origin. Photos by michael w. Bunch

Barista Parlor’s Andy Mumma recently expanded into the Gulch with the opening of Barista Parlor {Golden Sound}, inspired by his passion for modern design with a touch of 1960s NASA flair. Like the East Nashville location, {Golden Sound} is heavy on reclaimed products from old buildings, including orange beams, terrazzo flooring and signage from the old recording studio that used to inhabit the space. Andy, who strives to support true craftsmanship and innovative design, worked with Holler Design for the tables, trays and chairs, and the bar stations were built by Aaron Rosburg.

taking vows

Photos by Lindsey Johnson Photography

right W e n a J Bradley marries rarini r e F d i v Da Adam

radley Wright of Nashville first met Adam Ferrarini from Wilbraham, Mass., through mutual friends at a New York Yankees baseball game. Two years later, he proposed in the Hudson River Valley, which was romantically blanketed by a recent snowstorm. Upon returning to Manhattan, he surprised her with a gathering of close friends and family at the West Village restaurant where they had their first date. They married in November at First Baptist Church, where the bride’s parents married more than 30 years ago. The bride processed to “Highland Cathedral,” and the couple recessed to “Simple Gifts.” Bagpiper Jay Dawson played both pieces.

The reception at historic War Memorial Auditorium began with drinks in the courtyard. Their signature cocktails were a “Southern Belle-ini” and a “Yankee Doodle Brandy.” The seated dinner by Monica Holmes of The Clean Plate Club featured an arugula and goat cheese salad with pomegranate and pumpkin seeds followed by Yazoo-braised short ribs, caramelized Brussels sprouts and wild mushroom bread pudding. Dulce Desserts designed the bride’s cake adorned with white orchids and the groom’s cake bearing the logo of the New York Yankees. Guests danced to the tunes of Shake Shake Shake. Jim Knestrick of Knestrick By Design created the table settings of branches, white orchids, float-

ing candles and white hydrangeas. As a special nod to Bradley’s love of the arts, a live event artist (Nashville’s Karen Matkosky) captured the evening on a canvas which now hangs in the couple’s TriBeCa apartment. The newlyweds honeymooned in Thailand and Cambodia before returning home to New York where Bradley works at The Museum of Modern Art as Senior Development Officer. She attended Harpeth Hall School, The University of Richmond and New York University where she earned a Master’s degree. Adam, a graduate of The University of Massachusetts Amherst, is a Vice President at Ares Capital Corporation. Sandy Nelson

ur October Cheater Chef Indian Chex Mix (“chiwda”) recipe honors UT football fans everywhere who struggled through biochemistry with the late Dr. Jayant Joshi. Dr. Joshi was a renowned researcher and beloved UT biochemistry professor for more than 40 years. We recently visited with his wife, Nima, who now lives in Nashville with their daughter’s family, and she made her version of the famous chiwda for us. The traditional blend of Indian seasonings melded with snacks from her adopted country is a fantastic tailgate option, whatever team you root for. And it’s far more delicious and sophisticated than the unbalanced, dumbed down processed stuff in a bag. The mix of American and Indian ingredients was born out of necessity. When the family moved to Knoxville in 1970, there were few Indian families and even fewer Indian markets. Today in Nashville, Nima finds everything Indian at Patel’s market on Nolensville Road. No more waiting at the Greyhound station for that shipment of chapati flour from California! Like any Chex mix recipe, the blend of cereals, nuts and snacks is up to you. Adjust any ingredient as you like, but keep to total volume. The key to chiwda is to toast the spices in oil to allow their flavors to emerge before coating the cereal. After baking, you’ll have an addictive, crunchy, spicy snack that’s perfect with cocktails or cold beer. Most of the seasonings are available in traditional supermarkets, but a trip to Patel’s is economical, educational and fun. Make it as spicy as you like by tweaking the garam masala and red pepper.

ne of the great things about the publishing process is that it takes so long to get a book through the pipeline—the publishing obstacle course—that you’re allowed to set the book aside for a year, literally not read a page and come at it with fresh eyes after some 20-something English major gives it a once over. (Then you smile at the phone when she says something to the effect that no one will know who you’re talking about if you just use Wynonna’s first name. Sigh.) Meanwhile that year away from the book gives you a new perspective as an editor and, in my case, meant throwing out a couple hundred pages over three books in the name of brevity or something. One of the horrible things about the publishing process is that it takes so long to get a book through the publishing obstacle course that timeliness goes out the window. This means news of the riot that happened yesterday will not reach your reader’s eyes until a couple of years after the ashes are cold. For a journalist used to spending a day on a story, this is pure agony. Before I entered the publishing world, I naïvely thought this delay was the fault of fact checkers, more English majors, going through a manuscript word by word. The New Yorker is famous for it. When I was working on my first book, the one about basketball coach Bobby Knight at West Point (Same Knight, Different Channel), I even made footnotes, expecting that someone at some point would be holding me accountable. And there was some vetting. Before an excerpt from the book appeared in Indianapolis Monthly, an Indiana Bobby Knight expert read the article and then took me to lunch. I passed muster. I don’t remember who paid. As for the book itself, an editor suggested some structural changes—

more Knight, less West Point—and we went about our business. Apparently they didn’t check spelling or facts. Did you know that ex-NFL football coach “Bill Parsels” actually spells his name “Parcells” and that, unlike Knight, Parcells did not satisfy his mandatory two-year military commitment to coach cadets at West Point? Me neither. Who caught the errors? Don’t remember, but it was after the book was in print. So why not correct the error in the paperback? The paperbacks were manufactured out of unsold copies of the hardback. How, I don’t know. What passes for fact checking in my publishing experience is to farm the book out to someone who knows the subject matter, a fellow author perhaps, and ask them to pass judgment. That happened with my George Jones book (He Stopped Loving Her Today: George Jones, Billy Sherrill, and the Pretty-Much Totally True Story of the Making of the Greatest Country Record of All Time). A few years later, I was called on to return the favor when my publisher asked me to look over a memoir by a rock ‘n’ roll legend. My take? The book was not a work of scholarship, but hey, forget accuracy, whatever a legend is willing to say should make it to print. The most fact checking I’ve endured after publishing three books and countless articles came after I wrote a letter to the editor of New York Times Magazine. In an otherwise excellent article on what our neighbors at BMI and ASCAP actually do— the mystery revealed!—a writer in the magazine mistakenly had musicians getting paid performance royalties. (Then, only songwriters and publishers received performance royalties.) The fact checker was especially concerned about the accuracy of a quote from Time. After a series of emails and at least one phone call, the letter was cleared for publication. Whew.

the Discerning reader

Thrills and chills Two great reads for the month of October

uthor Scott Turow, master of the legal thriller, will be honored this year with the Nashville Public Library’s Literary Award, and he’ll be in town the weekend of Nov. 7 for all of the festivities. If you find yourself enjoying a cocktail with him, you might want to ask him a few questions about his latest, Identical, another New York Times bestseller. Identical tells the story of twin brothers Paul and Cass, one of whom has likely committed murder. Cass serves 25 years in prison while Paul goes to law school, becomes a successful plaintiff ’s attorney, and is running for State Senate when his brother’s term finally ends. All is not, of course, as it seems—but neither is it what you might think. Identical is a legal and police procedural; that much we know Scott Turow can do well. It also subtly echoes the Greek myth of twins Castor and Pollux, born to Leda after her rape by Zeus (the Swan). In the book’s afterward, Turow reveals that his sister Vicki was born, along with her stillborn twin, when he was 3 years old. “That event loomed over my childhood, and thus what it meant to be and have—and lose—a twin, and the inevitable contrast to other love relationships, has been a preoccupation of mine at some level ever since,” he writes. The book takes on an even greater emotional resonance knowing this personal history.

Hampton Sides beautifully interlaces the personal and the historical in his new work of nonfiction headed towards blockbuster status, In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette. The voyage of the USS Jeannette is the most harrowing and awe-inspiring journey you’ve never heard of. In 1879, Captain George DeLong and a crew of 32 set off to reach the North Pole, America’s dreams, pride and ambition along with them. The leading cartographers and scientists of the day believed they would find a warm polar sea there, formed by the convergence of the Gulf Stream and another warm and powerful current flowing through the Pacific. The scientists and cartographers were wrong, and the men found themselves in a terrifying (and very cold) struggle for their lives. By Providence and human will, records of the journey survived. In addition, copies of the many letters Emma DeLong wrote to her husband remained safely in an attic for over a century; Hampton Sides is the first author to have access to them. He has written In the Kingdom of Ice as a love story as well as a tale of grand exploration, and the result is as poignant, brilliant and chilling as anything I’ve read.

id-century modern furniture—the post-WWII style Dwell has sacralized—is not something for which my life had prepared me. I grew up during the period, but in a 1920s bungalow my parents had equipped with American Colonial reproductions. Spouse and I have favored the 19th century for our home purchases. Houses of this vintage are forgiving of furnishings. They absorb Antebellum and Eastlake, Craftsman oak and the occasional contemporary piece with the nonchalance of an elderly lady who’s seen it all. Modern architecture isn’t so tolerant, as I discovered after we bought a midcentury cottage for summer use. In a house of open plan with lots of glass, no baseboards—merely thin toe strips— windows and doors devoid of moldings, every cabinet hinge concealed and not a paneled surface to be seen, anything older than 1950 looks as fusty as an antimacassar. Thus when we began to shed the pieces that came with the house— most immediately the IKEA cabinet whose legs had started to wobble—I felt compelled to hew to the period of home construction for replacements, which necessitated my becoming something of a mid-mod autodidact. I studied entries on Wikicollecting, pored over images on Pinterest and recoiled at the prices on 1stdibs. I read bios of the design deities: Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Florence Knoll, Grete Jalk, Hans Wegner. I wondered if Ib Kofod-Larsen’s mother really called him Ib. I practiced pro-

nouncing the Scandinavian names to avoid disgracing myself during face-to-face with dealers. I did OK approximations for Peter Hvidt, Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen and even Jørgen Gammelgaard. But my tongue came a cropper with Poul Kjærholm and Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist. Along the way I learned many things of questionable value to all but the design-obsessed. —Mid-mod literates call the storage cabinet for china and flatware a “credenza,” not a “sideboard.” —The recessed legs of mid-mod sofas and chests create a floating effect, making more contemporary squared-off profiles look decidedly earthbound by comparison. —Mid-mod veneers take grain matching to high art. Those who sand the stuff to remove scratches do so at their peril. —The stars among mid-mod chairs have names, with many evoking the organic impulse of the design. To wit: the Ant, Coconut, Egg, Grasshopper, Ox, Oyster, Swan, Tulip, Womb. And, for the fairy tale inclined, there’s Papa Bear and Mama Bear. —The low seat height and unyielding cushions of much mid-mod seating is a cruel reminder to those with bad knees and backs that they can’t sing “Live Young” forever. The word “easy” attached to “chair” often means on the eye, not the body. At least that’s the case with the 1963 chair by Yngve Ekstrom that we recently acquired. The professor has made it clear that the Lamino will be my reading chair. He’s keeping his La-Z-Boy.
