Claire and George Kittle's Nashville home reinvents the archetypal log cabin for welcoming, chic modern living.

The San Francisco 49ers tight end and his wife transformed their humble Tennessee cottage, working closely with the Pottery Barn Design Crew to add layers of cozy textiles and neutral furnishings to the good wooden bones. Designed to feel personal, nostalgic, and lived-in, the interiors are a masterclass in understated yet elegant styling.

Starting with the entryway, the Kittles' patio features a proper outdoor living room, perfect for sitting out and sipping sweet tea late into those famous Nashville nights. It's replete with stylish Adirondack chairs, and elegant wrought iron lanterns from Pottery Barn.

Part of the clear charm of the home is that it is designed exactly to the Kittles' specification, for a beautiful design that perfectly fits the needs of their family. This choice to add character to the home comes through especially in the living room. Cozy blues and whites make the perfect complement to the natural wood beams of the ceiling.

George explains, 'My favorite thing about the cabin is just the natural light that's everywhere, and then the big comfy couch that I get to sit on while drinking a cup of coffee and looking out into the trees and into the nature because it makes me feel like I'm in a tree house.'

Claire concurs, adding, 'It's total tree house vibes.'

Claire quips: 'I am a huge fan of the two chairs in the sunroom because you have those huge open windows and you fit in the chairs,' referencing her extremely tall husband.
