While working on Star-Crossed, in the midst of a personal crossroads, Kacey Musgraves found peace and serenity in her 3,500-square-foot Nashville home, well after it was fully renovated and redecorated to her liking.

In search of “a place that felt like me,” Musgraves purchased the Nashville property in 2020 during a time of significant change in her life. Wanting a place “where I could express myself without having to think about another person and what they might want. This felt like a new beginning.”
Opening her doors to Architectural Digest, Kacey shared she was instantly drawn to the home, though not much about it has remained the same.
When the singing starlet first moved in to the house, it was decorated in a bold, colorful, wallpaper-heavy, more-is-more style. However, together with interior designer Lindsay Rhodes, they were able to create a sun-drenched neutral mid-century modern oasis, filled with orbs, memories and monochromatic moments. Finding the perfect spots for her collectables, crystals, estate sale finds, plants, and a framed joint from Willie Nelson.
“There’s a lot of craziness in my life," Kacey shared as she showed AD her house. “So I wanted a serene space to come home too, the felt kinda honestly, like a spa. And a place where I could find room for my thoughts.”
When separately asked, Rhodes said, “Kacey needed to start from white to see where she wanted to go.” Adding, “The house had a lot of subway tiles and Craftsman-style details, so we wanted to make everything feel clean. We basically blanketed the entire kitchen with plaster, even the island, to create smooth lines and give it a stone-like texture. Then we used a pale mineral paint throughout the house. It almost feels like a watercolor; instead of being flat, it gives a little dimension.”
One room Kacey has left untouched is a powder room papered with nude charcoal sketches by the late, locally prominent artist Hazel King, which coincidentally was a decorative idea Musgraves already had.
“I’d started collecting nude sketches because I had this vision of hanging them floor to ceiling in a bathroom, but I hadn’t done it. And then it was somehow here, already manifested, almost exactly how I’d pictured it. It’s one of my favorite things about the house.”
After touring her kitchen, sunken living room, dining room, bedroom and bathrooms, and more Kacey proudly noted, “this is the first house I’ve ever put my creative kind of mind into, and it’s the first time I’ve ever been able to express myself in a home sense.”
