We are so proud for our girl Lauren Alaina.  She came in like a ball of fire at Coyote Joe's last year and then we had an opportunity to hear her in a private concert in Las Vegas at the ACM Awards.  This girl can sing ya'll and she is finally a brand new home owner! Just one of the spoils for her efforts over the years after we were first introduced to her during American Idol.

25 year old Lauren's home is around 2200 square feet and is full of all kinds of very personal keepsakes.  One of the most unusual items is a rug made from the family's deceased cow.  Apparently the cow was a favorite of her beloved late stepdad's and when the cow passed her stepdad wanted to keep part of her close so he had a rug made out of her.  That rug is now in Lauren's new home.

She also has a pair of shoes she wore when she was on Dancing With The Stars, various awards and dresses she has worn over the years and cowboy boots she wore on American Idol. And a painting of Dolly.  A big beautiful tribute to one of her idols.

To get the virtual tour of her home just check out the article in People
