Former Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright know what it takes to have a party-worthy home.
Taylor, 41, and Cartwright, 32, ditched the apartment life once they got married in 2019 and purchased their $1.9 million Los Angeles home. Now, the couple is giving a personal look inside their house onOpen Houseand PEOPLE has an exclusive sneak peek of the episode, which airs on Sunday.
Taylor and Cartwright love hosting get-togethers and share that their open-concept living and kitchen area is their perfect hangout spot. “It’s like our favorite place to be—this whole open area with the living room and the kitchen together,” Cartwright said.
“[The island] is where we all congregate when everybody comes over before we go out to the backyard. Everybody just hangs out, makes drinks, catches up, and then we head of to the backyard to party,” Taylor added.
Although Cartwright said she’s obsessed with the kitchen for its two stoves, she’s most proud of the way she decorated their living room, from the abundance of throw pillows to the coordinating bookshelves.
In the clip, which was filmedbefore the arrival of their son, Cruz Michael, on April 12, the couple explained that they started keeping one of their bassinets in the living room in order to get their dog accustomed to the upcoming changes in the household. A second bassinet is set up in their bedroom.
“I love that we have the little shiplap-looking wall behind here and then this [plaque] that says ‘The Cauchis,'” Cartwright said, joking that most people don’t realize that’s their real last name. “It’s actually made from a bourbon barrel, bringing in my Kentucky roots.”
The stars said they love that they can make the most of the California climate thanks to the French doors and walk-out balcony off the bedroom.
In early December, both Taylor and Cartwright announced in coordinating Instagram posts that they would no longer appear onVanderpump Rulesin order to focus on their family.
“The last 8 years onVanderpump Ruleshave been some of the most challenging, rewarding and fulfilling years of my life,” Taylor wrote whilesharing several throwback photosfrom his time on the show. “Although this is difficult to share, Brittany and I will not be returning for another season ofVanderpump Rules. We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors.”
