And The Winner Is?
Make A Rustic Sawhorse Table For Under $40
Paul Costello, ELLE
How many times have you looked at gallery from a celebrity's home and sighed at the perfectly put-together vignettes? Yes, we'll drool over the ironed sheets, the perfect white upholstery and the furniture that looks so brand new it may still have a price tag stuck on the back. But do we think we could live in it? Not a chance.
That's why we're extra smitten over the loft Sheryl Crow shares with her darling son Wyatt: It's so cozy and eclectic, we're wishing Sheryl would invite us over for a snack -- and like Mariska Hargitay's son August, we might feel at home enough to stand up on the dining bench!
What's her secret? Not one you hear a lot from celebs: Junking. "It's a totally therapeutic pastime for me. I can spend hours going through flea markets," she says. "I've got some real weird stuff." You mean like that big rustically gorgeous freestanding tub?

"I wanted [it] because I thought it would be cool and romantic. But I never really use it," she told ELLE. What?! Memo to Sheryl: We appreciate your honesty, but you're nuts for not taking advantage of that baby.
We love the understated elegance in here -- the oversized bulb hanging fixture, the simple pedestal sink -- and even though there's a sea of white towels, the antique tub makes it seem more relaxed.
And see the bottom right corner of the hallway? That's a 19th-centure prosthetic leg. And those gallery aren't just family snaps -- there are shots by Diane Arbus and David Bailey on that brick wall. But she doesn't take even the most precious pieces too seriously. "One thing I've learned about children and antiques is that you just have to let go," she told ELLE. Good words for design-savvy moms to live by.
To see the rest of the home, check out the full story -- and slideshow! -- at ELLE's site, or pick up the magazine. (We highly recommend ripping out the photo of Wyatt's room for some amazing color inspiration.)

These rich Democrats like Sheryl preach to the people to conserve and use one piece of toilet paper etc... while this place probably costs a fortune to heat and cool. It looks like it would require a lot of electricity to show off all those dark spaces that need extra lights. So here they rattle their jewelery and tell you to tighten your belt.
ReplyAll I Wanna do is have some fun....with Sheryl!
ReplyJust another Rock & Roller that helped dry up Rock now starting to do the same to help finish off Country, which not that far off.
ReplyGo where the money is. Nashville Producers really amaze me. Instead of finding and promoting all the great falents, they must get phone calls from these Rockers and evidently say "wow that was Sheryl Crow, I'll never wash this ear again". Or do they feel like they are converting Catholic to Baptist, meaning with sarcasm, converting a Rocker to Country.
I am in shock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What a wreck.............
ReplyI see Mel Kadel's artwork above the bathtub, and I think It's above the stove too. So cool to see her work in Sheryl's home!
ReplyI am a huge Sheryl Crow fan! I am also a huge Mel Kadel fan! I am lucky enough to have several pieces of this talent artist's work. Sheryl... love your place and your taste in art... you Rock!
