We’re so excited to announce our latest collaboration, with the one and only Sara McDaniel of Simply Southern Cottage! As a former school teacher turned interior designer, real estate investor, and content creator, Sara has an amazing story. In 2016, she purchased and renovated a broken-down cottage in Minden, Louisiana and since starting her social accounts and blog, @simplysoutherncottage, her influence has exploded and continues to grow daily. We can’t wait to see what she does with our rugs!
Sara was recently featured on HGTV Hometown Kickstart. And her work and home have been noted in top-shelf publications, television programming, and prominent websites such as Better Homes and Gardens, The Today Show, Southern Lady, Forbes, The Spruce, Cottages and Bungalows, American Farmhouse Style, HGTV online, plus many, many others. We are excited to partner with Sara to launch her very first Simply Southern Cottage rug collection. We area thrilled to bring her warm, cozy cottage style to homes all across America.
Sara’s inspiration for the collection was inspired by the simplicity and beauty of southern life. She meticulously designed each rug to represent timeless charm, wit, and lifestyle. Simply Southern Cottage’s entire collection is filled with cozy, whimsical rugs, that are all made in the USA.
The Simply Southern Cottage Rug Collection will feature 13 different designs in multiple colorways, all of which were inspired by Sara’s own personal southern charm. The collection will be available in five different sizes (2×8,5×7,6×9,8×10,9×12) and will be made of 100% polypropylene for durability, easy maintenance, and at a great price point.
