Today is the day! The official Haute Off The Rack home tour! I’m so excited to finally share my new home with you. We actually moved in this past July, but as most of you know it takes quite a while to turn your house into a home! I live in a small old cottage house in Downtown Covington, LA and when I say old, I mean that it was built in 1927! So needless to say, it’s quite the southern charmer with all its little corner nooks, chipped paint, original hardwood floors and even the original cabinets. In fact, that’s why I immediately fell in love with the place! The minute I saw the sweet front porch, closed in fireplace, all white walls and windows everywhere, I knew it was the one! Not to mention the fact that it sits on one of the most beautiful streets in Downtown Covington covered by large mossy oak trees.

I’m actually in the middle of redoing my front porch furniture and pillows for fall, but right now I’ve got lots bright colors and prints going on. Stay tuned to see how I switch it up for fall.

Clearly, I love a pop of color hence my bright fuchsia accent chairs and printed napkins. However, I do like to balance out the amount of color with some basic neutral pieces and gold accessories.

Since Blake works for a wine company, our house is always fully stocked with boxes of wine. Eventually, I got tired of seeing all the boxes stacked up in the dining room so I decided to put together a wine rack that would beautifully display all of the wine bottles. I found these three wooden wine racks at World Market, and the two hanging glass holders and Target. I brightened up all of the wood pieces with some fresh flowers and when you’re entertaining guests you can put snacks out on the two-tiered stand that I have shown above. You can also place food on the wood bark pedestal stand too.

I like to keep my dessert seperate from the rest of the food by displaying all the treats on the bar cart. I actually just purchased a second bar cart so that I can have one for coffee and dessert and the other for liquor and bar tools, which you’ll see on the blog soon. Oh and in case you’re wondering, no, the chocolate covered almonds do not last long in my house at all. I’m pretty sure Blake finished them off the first day I got them.

 One of my favorite traits of the house is that there are so many windows that you don’t even need to turn on the lights until the evening. In fact, I love the way the sun trickles into the dining and living room in the morning so much that I decided to go for sheer white curtains so that the morning light would still shine through. As for my living room color scheme, I purposely bought a white couch and neutral rug so that I could forever change the pillows and decor because that’s my favorite thing to do. In fact, I’ve already added more new pillows to the mix. Sometimes, I just have to avoid the pillow section all together while shopping. Don’t worry though! You’ll get to see the new pillows in my next home decor post.

In case you can’t tell from the photos, my house is very tiny with about 1,200 square feet of space. On top of that, there is a huge lack of storage space so we had to get creative with displaying different items that would normally be kept hidden in cabinets. I actually got this idea from one of my blogger besties, Kathleen of Carrie Bradshaw Lied. She has a small home as well so she also has to keep a lot of her kitchen appliances, cookware and dinnerware on display. We both purchased our wire kitchen racks from Target and decorated them with different accessories to dress up our kitchen supplies. Just a tip, it helps to purchase cookware and bakeware in fun colors if you have to keep in on display.

Make sure to follow along on snapchat: @HauteOffTheRack to keep up with all of my daily and seasonal changes to my home! I’m constantly changing things up! Also, keep an eye out for my next home decor post showing all of my new fall decor changes.

P.S. A HUGE thank you to my best friend Haley who helped me bring all of my decorative ideas to life. Not only does she come over and help hang every thing on the walls and rearrange my pillows, but she also does it all while putting up with me and a 1 and half year old running around the house. We’ll shop all over town in her little Toyota Corolla with the carseat in the back and shove as much stuff in there as we can. The store associates always look at us like we’re crazy when we try to fit a 5 ft bench or an 8 x 10 ft rug in there! We always find a way to make it happen though.
