Kristin Cavallariknew that she belonged in her Tennessee home from the moment she walked in.
InMyDomaine’s latest digital issue, the Uncommon James founder, 35, described her 28-acre property in the city of Franklin as her forever home.
“To have bees and honey and a chicken coop makes me so happy,” she said.
She credits the three-story, five-bedroom farmhouse for allowing her to teach their three children — sons Camden, 10, and Jaxon, 8, and daughter Saylor, 7 — new life skills.
“For my kids to be able to go out to our coop and get eggs is a really cool way to grow up—and very different than how I grew up,” she said. “To be able to come home to this environment is so nice for me. I can’t say enough good things about Tennessee.”

The property also has apple trees; blackberry, blueberry and strawberry bushes; and a garden filled with carrots, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.
The podcast host also collaborated with Nashville-based designer April Tomlin to renovate the interior of her home that now includes a kitchen with a new quartzite island and a handmade mosaic tile backsplash.

Cavallari was all about neutrals during the renovation process and accented her living room with wool rugs and sheer linen curtains. She also chose kid-friendly furniture like upholstered ottomans as new additions to the room.
According to Cavallari, the entire 18-month renovation included her basement, bathrooms, closet, pool, and the installation of a new greenhouse.
“To this day, I thank my lucky stars that it all worked out. Honestly, it was like everything just aligned for me,” she said.
