how the other half live: sheryl crow // 5 Sep 2011

Prepare to be just a teensy bit jealous. Not only is Sheryl Crow best friends with Jennifer Aniston, she also owns the most beautiful home in the Hollywood Hills that she decorated herself (I know, unheard of for a s’leb), and I’m going to hazard a guess that you’ll like it. Crow shares this Spanish Colonial hacienda with her two sons, three-year-old Wyatt and baby Levi, and without rushing she filled the rooms, piece by piece, often with items that she gathered whilst touring. The finished article shows the heart and soul that Crow put into the project, and it has an incredibly cosy (if such a mansion can be described as “cosy”) and personal feel. In particular I love the 19th-century iron and wood bicycle above the fireplace, the intricate tiled floors and, of course, that outdoor canvas pavilion. So if Crow and Jen-An invited me for margaritas round that pool, I’d be more than happy to oblige. I won’t hold my breath though.
