Studio 54 set the stage for Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall\u2019s glamorous courtship. Axl Rose and Stephanie Seymour\u2019s volatile romance played out in a series of music videos that ended with her in a coffin (not surprisingly, their unscripted relationship fizzled in almost as dramatic a fashion). But for Aldridge and Followill, who rarely make public appearances \u00e0 deux, the theatrics appear to be reserved for their charming abode, composed of grand archways, Persian carpets, and a gloriously tiled kitchen. \u201cHome is everything,\u201d says the California native, who relocated to Nashville after meeting her Tennessee-born husband more than a decade ago. <\/p>\n<p>Dixie\u2019s birth sparked the couple\u2019s move from a kicky condo located near the city\u2019s nightlife scene and sports arena to \u201ca home near a great school,\u201d Aldridge says of how their priorities shifted upon becoming parents. She immediately fell in love with this one: \u201cIt was beautiful, comfy, cozy.\u201d She pauses. \u201cMy husband, on the other hand, wanted to move into a different house.\u201d To help persuade him that the Tudor Revival, though a bit old-fashioned in appearance, was the perfect address, she called on designers and close friends Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward of Pierce &#038; Ward. The duo count Karen Elson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Dakota Johnson among their starry clientele, and Pierce had previously decorated Aldridge and Followill\u2019s condo.<\/p>\n<p>We both travel a lot for work, but we do everything in our power to have a normal life here.<\/p>\n<p>A recognition of the 1930 house\u2019s good bones helped seal the deal: wood floors, beamed ceilings, expansive windows. \u201cI love those details, and they\u2019re hard to re-create,\u201d Aldridge explains. Her husband gave in, and in the span of just four months, during much of which Followill was on tour and Aldridge out of town on modeling assignments, Pierce and Ward renovated and decorated every square inch of the place. <\/p>\n<p>For the decor, Aldridge presented the designers with a Pinterest board of inspirations ranging from romantic English country houses to exotic Moroccan riads. \u201cWe were all on the same page,\u201d says Ward, who, with Pierce, cheerfully scavenged antiques stores and eBay for eclectica such as leather club chairs, poufs, chandeliers, and a m\u00e9lange of midcentury-modern pieces. <\/p>\n<p>Each room is imbued with a relaxed, family-friendly elegance. The kitchen features open cabinetry with a decorative retro tile backsplash, and it\u2019s where Followill holds court.<\/p>\n<p>The living room is framed in arched bookshelves with a fireplace she keeps crackling \u201cuntil it\u2019s unbearably hot outside\u201d and a pair of club chairs that remind her of the ones her artist father had in his studio during her youth. \u201cThe leather was literally peeling off the seats,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n<p>Read more here: https:\/\/www.architecturaldigest.com\/story\/lily-aldridge-takes-ad-inside-her-bohemian-1930s-tudor-revival<\/p>\n<p>Still haven\u2019t subscribed to Architectural Digest on YouTube? \u25ba\u25ba http:\/\/bit.ly\/2zl7s34<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST<br \/>\nThe leading international design authority, Architectural Digest features articles and videos of the best in architecture, style, culture, travel, and shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Inside Lily Aldridge&#8217;s Nashville Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode of &#8216;Open Door&#8217;, Victoria&#8217;s Secret and Sports Illustrated swimsuit supermodel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2541208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[627838],"tags":[764758,1350483,1611892,1611893,1611884,1350490,1611895,21046,1149268,666422,1611888,1611887,1611886,1611885,779292,1611889,1611891,1611890,1611896,1611894,630232,1611897,627860,634300],"class_list":{"0":"post-2541207","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-model","8":"tag-architectural-digest","9":"tag-caleb-followill","10":"tag-caleb-followill-home","11":"tag-caleb-followill-house","12":"tag-caleb-followill-lily-aldridge","13":"tag-caleb-followill-wife","14":"tag-celeb-home-nashville","15":"tag-celebrity","16":"tag-house-tour","17":"tag-lily-aldridge","18":"tag-lily-aldridge-home","19":"tag-lily-aldridge-home-nashville","20":"tag-lily-aldridge-house","21":"tag-lily-aldridge-house-tour","22":"tag-lily-aldridge-interview","23":"tag-lily-aldridge-interview-2018","24":"tag-lily-aldridge-nashville","25":"tag-lily-aldridge-nashville-home","26":"tag-luxe-nashville-home","27":"tag-nashville-celeb-home","28":"tag-open-door","29":"tag-open-door-2018","30":"tag-supermodel","31":"tag-634300"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2541207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2541207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2541207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2541208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2541207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2541207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2541207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
