Interior designer Jordan Long welcomed us into her ever-evolving Nashville home - a place where old souls linger, furniture migrates without warning, and mornings begin in a scatter of light from a spinning disco ball. Books pile up, nothing stays where you last saw it, and a White Rabbit tattoo hums quietly beneath it all. We lit Bound, Fuzzed, and Crystal Fetish and talked vintage finds, permanent obsessions, and the beauty of spaces that refuse to sit still.

What’s the most unexpected thing that’s happened in this space?

During the renovation, the house kept revealing little surprises. We found a large seashell and a coconut buried in the woods. I uncovered incredible vintage pendant lights tucked away in a box in the attic. I tried to reuse as much as possible - anything with a story or soul - right down to my kid’s square yellow bathtub. If it was worth saving, it stayed.

What object in this room holds a secret about you?

I’m a book girl - no secret there - but I have a very specific obsession with Alice in Wonderland. I collect editions by illustrator. It became such a part of me that I eventually had one of the White Rabbits tattooed on my body… at a party.

When you’re alone in this space, what’s the thing you do that no one else knows about?

I’m a chronic re-arranger. If I sit and stare long enough, something will move. Nothing is in the same place it was when these photos were taken. There is no piece of furniture I won’t move by myself because my toxic trait is never asking for help. Ever.

If you could live as one of your objects. Which one and why?

My disco ball in the kitchen. I won it at an auction, hung it, and had it wired to spin. It isn’t perfect - there are broken bits - but old disco balls have a patina you can’t fake. In the morning, sunlight pours through the skylights and turns the room into an early-morning nature disco. It feels alive.

How would you describe the scents of Circus?

Bound feels like a vintage car - leathery, masculine, and nostalgic. It’s a dream. I burn it constantly, and people always ask what it is.

Fuzzed is gorgeous. Soft, light, just a touch sweet. It’s the candle I light right after the house has been cleaned. Heavenly. Truly an all-year scent for me.

Crystal Fetish is a mood. Sexy, confident, with citrus notes that hit exactly where they should.
