Rachel Hardage Barrett Is the Editor-in-Chief of Country Living. A Tennessee native, she takes her tea half-sweet, collects Kentucky Derby glassware, and someday hopes to retire to a Lowcountry farmhouse with a big live oak out front. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with her family, but still makes it to Neyland Stadium at least once a year. 

Jeanne Lyons Davis grew up in Louisiana where she cultivated her weakness for wicker furniture, penchant for estate sales and palate for plate lunches. She has been an editor at Southern Living and Country Living magazine and contributor for Architectural Digest, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Brides, Coastal Living and Houstonia. She lives in Lousiana with her tenacious kids and dog of dubious origins.
