Haute Off The Rack

3 Things You Need to Know Before Finding the Perfect Rug for Your Home:

1) Measurements!
Measure the dimensions of the room as well as the furniture. I don’t have dining room furniture yet so we brought chairs into the room to get a better visual of the furniture layout over the rug.

2) Design Inspo!
Gather & save some inspiration for your overall room design. You don’t need to know exactly what you want. Just have an idea of the of vibe you’re going for and how you want the room to feel.

3) Know your budget!
The rug is the foundation for your furniture and sets the tone for the room so think of it as an investment.

4) Shop wisely!
There are so many places you can shop for rugs, but I chose @parvizanfinerugsnola because they specialize in rugs and offer a variety of different sizes, styles and prices to accommodate all of my needs. If you watch this video, you’ll see that owner will come to your house and measure the room himself and then help you hand select rugs from his store. Then he delivers your top 3 rugs to your house and his team moves your furniture and lays out all 3 rugs so you can choose the best one for your home! This was truly top notch service and made me feel very confident in my rug decisions for both the living room and the dining room.

We went with an authentic hand tied Turkish Oushak rug & they also offer microseal treatments to protect the life of the rug.

Last, but not least, hire a professional! I’m so fortunate that my BFF since the first grade has an eye for design and we’ve always shared a love for decor together. It’s funny thinking back to all of the room she’s helped me together over the years. And fortunately for you all, she co-founded @eleve.designcollective with 2 partners so you can hire them to help you with all of your designs needs! I’m the worst type of client because I like to be super hands on and be a part of all the decision making, but thankfully they offer design consulting appointments too so they accompanied me on my rug shopping trip to help me select the best rugs for each space! Most times I know exactly what I like and they’re able to steer me the right direction when it comes to size and scale.

@thegloriette in Downtown Covington will always be one of my go-to places when comes to aesthetic brunches with the girls! This restaurant is stunning down to every little detail making it the perfect backdrop for special occasions like baby showers, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners or in this case a fancy girl brunch. I’ve actually hosted quite a few events here myself.

Oh and best part— you can always keep the party going in the Cypress Bar or courtyard afterwards. Don’t forget to snap some cute pics underneath the gorgeous ivy arches too!

When it comes to the menu, do yourself a favor and order my two favorite cocktails the “Sage Advice” & the “Spa Day.”
As for food, we ordered everything on the brunch menu to split family style and our faves were the cinnamon roll, the shrimp and grits and actually the salad was so refreshing and delicious!

What’s your favorite part of the @southernhotel?

Not shown: me struggling to help him tie up and carry the gigantic loaner rug we had in its place to his car. Then we shoved it in the trunk and couldn’t stuff it in there completely, but I convinced him it was fine to leave his trunk open for a bit… Let’s just say don’t hire me to dispose of a dead body!☠️☠️
But!!! How about this hand tied oushak rug!! I got it from @parvizanfinerugsnola in Downtown Covington! More details to come!

If you always feel too busy to workout, this mom hack is for you!

Comment “VEST” & I’ll DM you the link! I’m wearing the 12 lb here!

Before you do your Sunday reset or unpack from a summer vacation, throw on your weighted vest and ankle weights and bam! You’re getting an even better workout than a hot-girl walk outside! And bonus points if you clean the playroom knowing how many squats you’ll get in picking up toys off the ground. Also, getting to wear this weighted vest in the AC is a plus too! Both my vest & ankle weights are on sale today!

P.S. yes, Blake still had to help me bc we all know I’m too ADD to finish one whole task at a time. So he usually follows behind me to finish my incomplete chores before I’m already on to something else!☠️
