How can we not love Kelly Clarkson? She was our very first American Idol, beating out Justin "I can't sing, but I'm cute" Guarini for the title. She also tore it up in her duet with Melissa Ethridge at last week's VH1 awards.
Last year, Kelly reportedly bought this 5,470 sq. ft. home in Nashville for nearly $1.5 million:
At first blush, the house seems pretty unremarkable--just like Kelly's forest green dress at the VH1 show. But upon closer inspection, we find it to be quite tasteful, understated, and elegant--just like her dress!This is a classic stone cottage that's large enough to feel comfortable. Yet it's cozy enough to feel like you have a REAL home. What's not to like?
Okay, so we don't like the kitchen:
And, yes, the house has a couple of generic rooms like these:
But, please remember, these photos are from the realtor's listing and she's not responsible for the bland traditional decor of the previous owners.

We love it!
