Darius Ruckeris getting into the Christmas spirit — and sharing an inside look at the cozy holiday wonderland he created in his new Nashville home.
“I walk in every day and it feels like Christmas,” the “Wagon Wheel” crooner, 54, toldarchdigest.comof the space, which he outfitted with help from the Christmas tree and home decor brandBalsam Hill. The brand dubbed the style “Nordic farmhouse.”
“That sounded so cool to me,” Rucker said. “Nordic farmhouse is perfect—that’s where the elves work, right?”

“The red cranberry color works perfectly in the house and worked well with the natural light,” Schmidt told the outlet. “It’s more of a traditional, country-style, masculine theme—it was perfectly woven through to give that feeling of a Nordic Christmas.”

“My son and I came here for the golf course; we stayed for everything else,” Rucker said. “I love the house, I love where we live, I love the neighbors.”
Among those neighbors are fellow country music starsBrett Young,Chase Rice,Cole Swindell,Luke BryanandJason Aldean, according to archdigest.com.
Rucker said that he hopes to have his daughters join him and Jack for the holidays. “I’m sure we’ll figure out a way — as a parent you always hope for that,” he said.
Despite being new to the Nashville area after spending many years in his homestate of South Carolina, he feels like he was always meant to be there.
“I think most of the people I meet and hang with are surprised I didn’t have a place all this time—I’ve made all my records here,” Rucker said. “After over a decade of being here and working hard and trying to be a nice guy, I like to feel I was already part of the community before I moved in.”
