This rustic log cabin in Tennessee is a vacation and personal haven for Victoria's Secret supermodel Taylor Hill.
▲ Taylor Hill
This old house from 1936, although relatively simple, exudes a unique charm that blends the past and the present to become her living place.

The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the chalet is the living room, a cozy space with a retro vibe. The original bare wood of the walls is retained, as if telling the story of the years.
▲ Living room
The wooden load-bearing beams at the top are not hidden, but are naturally integrated into the design of the room, emphasizing the raw, rugged aesthetic.
▲ Living room
The décor of the living room is full of character and history. A brown leather sofa sits in the center of the room, accompanied by two shearling armchairs.
▲ Living room
The furnishings have been carefully selected to not only be comfortable but also to complement the overall style of the room. The sofa is oversized by four meters by three meters, which is large enough to accommodate multiple people, while the shearling leather armchairs add a touch of warmth.
▲ Living room outdoors
In the corner of the living room, there is an old fireplace, surrounded by stone piles, creating a homely atmosphere. This fireplace may have accompanied the chalet for years, witnessing the warmth of countless winter nights.
▲ Living room outdoors
Above the windows is a row of shutters that once accompanied Taylor Hill's growth and witnessed her every season. These details make this living room not just a place to rest, but also a space for contemplation and reminiscence.
▲ Living room
The décor of the large living room is a bit more modern, but still retains some retro elements. An oversized sofa sits on one side of the room, providing plenty of space to lounge.
▲ Living room
On the other side is a sky-high navy blue cabinet that not only stores books and decorations, but is also cleverly designed to be used as a bar. This cabinet is not only practical, but it also adds a lot of color to the room.
▲ Restaurant
Adjacent to the living room is the dining room, which is dominated by blue and white, simple and generous with a touch of distant. A large dark round table occupies most of the space, surrounded by different styles of chairs, creating an intimate place to eat.
▲ Restaurant
Taylor Hill loves the feeling of having dinner together, and this large vintage round table is a treasure she found after a long search.
▲ Restaurant
In the corner of the dining room there are two open cabinets with Chinese blue and white porcelain displays. Once her grandmother's treasure, these porcelains are now displayed in the dining room, not only as a decoration, but also as a continuation of the family's affection.
▲ Restaurant
In addition, there is a special painting hanging on the wall, which is not the work of a famous artist, but a drawing drawn by the architect during the construction of this wooden house, which after being framed became part of the restaurant, adding a unique historical atmosphere to this space.
▲ Bedroom
Taylor Hill's bedroom is a space full of character, with walls that retain the texture of exposed wood, which is completely different from the design of a traditional hotel room.
She wanted the bedroom to be a comfortable place to rest, and to wake up every morning with the peace and warmth of a country chalet holiday.
▲ Bedroom
The furnishings and decorations in the bedrooms are equally full of character. A metal bed frame sits in the center of the room, bedside tables and rugs come from a nearby auction house, and two armchairs are brought back with the purchase of a large living room sofa. The furnishings have been carefully selected by Taylor Hill to create a unique and comfortable sleeping space.
▲ Bedroom
The cloakroom is one of the liveliest spaces in the home, home to Taylor Hill's wide range of clothing and accessories. The cloakroom is designed to be very open, with no cabinets, but solid wood partitions and branches to organize and display clothes.
▲ Cloakroom
This design allows Taylor Hill to browse all her outfits as easily as she would a shopping mall, so she can choose the right outfit at any time.
▲ Cloakroom
There is a set of pink sofas in the cloakroom, which adds a touch of girly air to the whole space. This sofa from a second-hand furniture trading platform once again showcases Taylor Hill's money-saving and inexpensive shopping skills.
▲ Cloakroom
Her jeans are also displayed in the cloakroom in a special way, using an S-hook that hangs directly on the clothes pole to make it clearly visible and easy to choose.
The windows of the cloakroom are embedded with rose windows, which not only add to the aesthetic appeal, but also have a feature to prevent peeping. This careful consideration showcases her attention to detail and unique aesthetic.
▲ Cloakroom
It is worth mentioning the bathrooms, where Taylor Hill has created a pre-loved décor. The copper bathtub in the bathroom is the highlight, adding a lot of color to the whole space.
▲ Bathroom
She called bathing in this tub like a swim. The section of the sink features black and white striped walls, gold and silver water pipes and faucets, and vintage mirror borders to create a dramatic effect.

Epilogue:
The décor and design of the chalet is imbued with Taylor Hill's personality and sensibilities, with each area showcasing her unique quest for vintage and original beauty.
