THE SOUNDTRACK OF SUMMER
If this issue has any sort of theme, it’s not “The Music Issue” or
“The Country Issue,” but best summarized (not so succinctly!)
as “The Driving-Along-a-Dirt-Road-on-a-Summer-Day-With-the-
Windows-Down-and-Suddenly-Hearing-Your-Favorite-Song-on-
the-Radio Issue.” That sentiment—that easy-breezy, sunlight-
dappled, not-a-care-in-the-world feeling—is what summer in the
country is all about. And music—whether it’s old-school country,
modern-day country, or not-at-all country—helps set that mood.
So we asked a few of our friends in the music industry to ride
shotgun this month and help us turn up the dial on all things
summer. Darius Rucker and his “Good for a Good Time” tour
mates share a few of their seasonal must-haves in “Country Living
Presents: Summer’s Greatest Hits,” a spirited Top 40 roundup
of finds (including that cute little orange grill below) to make
your days that much brighter. Sheryl Crow (a CL subscriber and
self-described junker!) opened the doors to her stunning 50-acre

ANTIQUES, COLLECTIBLES, AND OTHER ONE-OF-A-KIND FINDS
FISHING LURES
These collectibles can reel in anywhere from
$5 to as much as $100,000 for a rare find,
such as the metal Giant Haskell Minnow (not
shown). Heddon invented the first wooden
lure in the late 1890s, and this circa 1906
Heddon find (1), dubbed the Slopenose due
to its angled head, commands $500. The
Little Wonder, a wooden bait (2) made by
Clinton Wilt Mfg. Co. in 1913, goes for $800
thanks to still-intact barbershop-style stripes
and working spinner. Arthur J. Kumm 2
created the Fish Spotter (3) in 1933, and
the wooden version is now valued at $100.

FISHING REELS
In 1917, Heddon developed a line of high-end fishing
reels to compete with gear made by Meek. The No.
30, seen at top right (1), was the most costly, priced
at up to $60 at the time. Complete with leather case
and original box (not pictured), this reel fetches
around $500 today. Often mistaken for a fly-fishing
reel due to its large diameter, this 1930s find (2) by
Go-Ite of Kokomo, Indiana, is worth $300. The petite
brass reel (3) made for trout fishing by Hendryx of
New Haven, Connecticut, dates back to the 1890s—
before the company was acquired by Winchester.
Still functioning, it’s valued at $150.

When it comes to tran-

’50s and early ’60s, hues
like orange-red and
powder blue really strike
a chord with collectors.
TRANSISTOR RADIOS
In 1954, music became mobile
with the invention of the
portable radio. Early examples
like the Regency TR-1 (not
pictured)—the world’s first
pocket radio—can sell to the
tune of $1,000. Later versions
like this late ’60s pocket-size
player made by Omegas (1)
go for around $50 if still in

Crow’s Nest
Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow filled every nook and cranny of her
Nashville property—which includes a house, a church, and a barn—with
unexpected finds from a lifetime of junking. (Hey, if it makes her happy.)
After 20 years of living in Los Angeles, Sheryl Crow was ready to put down roots in a place
that “felt normal.” The Missouri native originally bought a place in rural Tennessee, but as
her two sons, Wyatt and Levi, got closer to school age, she moved to a house on a hill on 50
acres in Nashville. “It’s very private, and that really spoke to me,” she says. The extra land
afforded her plenty of space to build a multi-use barn (part recording studio, part saloon, part
real-deal horse barn) as well as a church (she was inspired to build the latter after seeing one
for sale on eBay). The sprawling property offers lots of opportunity to display her numerous
collections. “I’ve always loved old stuff. I got my love of antiquing—we called it junking—
from my mom,” Sheryl says. These days, her treasure hunts mainly happen online—her
assistant refers to her as “the Queen of eBay.” Her only rule: “I just buy what I love.”

In the House
WHAT SHE COLLECTS: Antique books, equestrian-inspired pieces,
vintage boxes, not to mention Grammys (nine of ’em)
After a few years of living in the country, Sheryl packed up
her sons and moved to Nashville in 2012. “We brought all of
our country animals into the city like The Beverly Hillbillies,”
she says. The centerpiece of the property, an English manor-
like home, built in 2005, boasts rich wood paneling, multiple
fireplaces, and beautiful beams that make it the perfect
backdrop for her antique finds both large and small.
nCADDY CORNER
Sheryl first discovered
vintage tea caddies
at a flea market in
Franklin, Tennessee,
and was inspired.
“I like the idea of
people congregating
around old objects
and having conversa-
tions through the
years,” she says.
A riding boot
makes for
a well-heeled
lamp base.
n
HORSE PLAY
Sheryl has always had a
penchant for horses and
riding boots. (Note the
horse lamp and boot lamp
in the cozy, wood-beamed
living room.) “I asked
Santa for a horse every year,
and I was always mildly
disappointed when I didn’t
get one,” she says.

Sheryl has collected
cowboy boots since
childhood. “At one
time, I owned almost
200 pairs, but I’ve
auctioned some off
for charity.”
n GOING TO
THE CHAPEL
After attempting to
buy an old Zion
church in rural
Tennessee, and then
another one she
found on eBay (“The
guy said he’d sell the
whole thing for
$5,000, but it was full
of dry rot”), Sheryl
built this one from
the ground up.
In the Church
WHAT SHE COLLECTS: Religious statues and figurines, glass
cloches, vintage suitcases, oil portraits
“When I bought this property, I thought it would be nice
to have a space that has nothing to do with work—just
a quiet and sacred place to gather,” Sheryl says. She
enlisted the help of Jim Mullowney of Mullowney General
Contractors to construct the chapel from a mix of reclaimed
and new materials. Now, it’s the ideal place to sit and
read or just enjoy the silence—well, some silence. “The kids
do like to go in and ring the bell,” she says.
n DOME
SWEET DOME
Sheryl’s love for
glass cloches began
when she visited
Antiques on Holiday
in Destin, Florida.
“They had a table
filled with them, and
that’s where I got
quite a few. They look
so beautiful, and
you can put anything
n
in there.”
SOUL SEARCHING
Sheryl lived in a
Spanish-style house
in Los Angeles for
many years that she
“filled to the gills”
with religious
collectibles. So she
had plenty of items
to furnish her
sanctuary from the
get-go. Sheryl has
since supplemented
the serene retreat
with tons of religious
items from—you
guessed it—eBay,
including the stained
glass window and
stately front doors.

In the Barn
WHAT SHE COLLECTS: Antique advertising signage, vintage
records, dress forms, paperweights, guitars
When the barn was in the design stage, Sheryl planned
to have a simple writing room upstairs, but once the room
was soundproofed, it became a full-blown studio. “It’s
ideal because I’m a single mom—I can go to work just down
the driveway,” she says. Downstairs, Sheryl created a
saloon and filled the walls with her impressive collection
of antique signs. “It’s a great gathering place. We’ve had
a lot of really good fund-raising events here,” she says.
n WEIGHTS OF
THE WORLD
“When I was growing
up, my grandma
had a paperweight
on her desk that had
a picture of my dad
when he was a baby
in the 1930s. I imagine
that was pretty
spiffy and a new idea
at the time. So when
I saw one, I thought,
I have to get it.” From
there, the glass
n
domes multiplied.
PICKIN’ PARTY
Sheryl has recorded
her last two albums,
Feels Like Home
and 100 Miles from
Memphis, in her home
studio, and all the
guitars are playable,
including a very spe-
cial one—the “money
maker”—that she’s
used to write every
hit of her career.
(She’s had 31 of them,
but who’s counting?)
SIGN O’ THE TIMES

Sheryl’s always on the
hunt for old signage.
“We’ve gotten away
from using our hands
and expressing
ourselves through
art,” she says. “I love
that people at one
time made their own
advertising.”

n PLAY ROOM
Sheryl also uses
the barn to listen to
records. “Two
Christmases ago, my
band gave me a
great turntable and
selected three
records apiece to
curate a collection
for me. It really
meant a lot,” she
says.

IT WAS A WRONG TURN that initially led Cooper Boone to the

right spot. “When I happened upon this place, I thought, ‘I have been
dreaming about this property since I was a child!’ ” says Cooper. While
he loved the picturesque white farmhouse, it was the Pennsylvania
Dutch bank barn out back that got his attention. There was only one
problem: It wasn’t on the market. But after years of drive-bys, he got a
(literal) sign, and it said “For Sale.” He snapped up the place and
immediately went to work on the barn, which needed more than a little
TLC. “She was a hot mess,” Cooper laughs. “There was a hole in the
roof, the floor was all rotted, and it had faded to a dingy brown.” After
17 years, endless coats of red paint, new electrical and plumbing,
and load after load of reclaimed materials, the structure went from
a disaster to the perfect party place, bar(n) none.

Cooper divided the wide-open, 1,100-square-foot barn into “rooms” for functions
like cooking, dining, and gathering. The goal: to create a comfortable, inviting party
setting layered with vintage charm. “I’m a big believer that a space should allow
people to let their hair down and be themselves,” says Cooper. “I like to have areas
for people to gather as a group but also to sneak away for quieter conversation.”
LI VI NG ROOM
The “more-the-merrier”
philosophy of the barn is
reinforced by built-in
benches designed to seat a
crowd. As a rule, Cooper
is drawn to things that
are both beautiful and
functional, like the blue pie
safe he found dumped at the
curb. “I literally draped my
body over it while Mark got
the truck!” he says. An eclec-
tic mix of vintage finds—
from county fair ribbons to
bowling pins—come
together for a fun vignette.

“The barn is all about friends gathering and enjoying delicious food together, and
the table is the center of it all,” says Cooper. In order to accommodate a large
dinner party, he pushes two 10-foot tables together. There’s room for plenty of
guests, but the narrow width keeps the conversation flowing. From there,
he employs his top eight no-fail tabletop tricks that work for every occasion.

Tea Party
Raise those pinkies, y’all! The Grammy-
winning artist invites you behind the
scenes of her whimsical birthday bash—a fun
and fanciful twist on a ladies’ luncheon.
(Psst: There’s vodka in those teacups.)
FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARY BRITTON SENSENEY
PART Y PHOTOGRAPHY BY KELLY CHRISTINE SUTTON

Kacey Musgraves loves a good theme party,
so when the singer-songwriter’s friend suggested a “par-tea” to celebrate
Kacey’s 27th birthday, she was ready to break out the china. And that she did.
The vintage dishware even inspired the party’s prim-but-not-precious palette
of soft pinks tempered with edgier metallics. A tea-infused invitation suite
(page 99) set a good-times-are-a-brewin’ tone and encouraged guests to “dress
to impress” in their Sunday best. (Hats encouraged!) “We were serious about the
dress code because it’s much more fun when everyone participates—and there
aren’t two people who show up in gym clothes,” says Kacey. Her Nashville
backyard was transformed into what Kacey describes as an “Alice in Wonderland-
esque garden party” thanks to twinkling lights, festive garlands and balloons,
and a dance floor. Guests nibbled on macarons and sipped cherry limeade
(provided by Nashville caterer Crumb de la Crumb) when they weren’t hamming
it up in a photo booth. “The night had the most fun atmosphere,” Kacey says.
“It truly felt magical.” Here’s a look at the midsummer merriment, along
with party-ready recipes inspired by the traditional-with-a-twist theme.

HAZEL VILLAGE
PORTRAIT BY HEATHER MOORE. BACKGROUND, TAKKI2529/THINKSTOCK.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
When Jane Van Cleef says she started sewing early in life, she’s not
kidding. Her mother punched holes in manila folders to create sewing
cards for her when she was only 3. She moved on to making doll clothes
inspired by the American Girl books and, later, clothes for “all the cool
kids” in high school. After college, she made her living from sewing gigs.
And then one weekend, she had the idea for Hazel Village, a line of
organic dolls. “Everything I had ever read as a child or done or liked or
learned about all converged. As soon as I thought of it, it was all pretty
clear to me,” she says. Six years later, she hasn’t looked back. The
charming dolls—each with his or her own backstory—have found a
loving audience. “It’s delightful,” she says. “I’m so glad it worked out.”

“Two things
revolutionalized my
life: moving to
the countryside and
falling in love.”
—NICK LOVE
