It started with a bathroom redesign. In 2020, Anne was renovating her Dallas home when she fell hard for vintage Turkish rugs. What began as a personal obsession quickly became something more: sourcing rugs for friends, then friends of friends, then a full-fledged business.

In 2023, Anne moved to Nashville, where her sister Elle was already living. Elle came on board, and Lovely Vintage Rug Co. became a true family affair. Now they spend their days doing what they love most: hunting down one-of-a-kind pieces and helping clients find rugs that make a room feel finished.

They've built deep roots in Nashville's design community, partnering with local designers, builders, and homeowners who share their eye for character. You'll find their rugs showcased at Invision Design, and in 2025, their pieces were featured in the Parade of Homes showhouse with interiors by Kathryn Zelenik Designs and Julie Davis Interiors.

For Anne and Elle, this work is personal. Every rug they source is one they'd put in their own homes. And the best part? They get to do it together.
