A New Season Is Upon Us

Happy Summertime! I hope this letter finds you relaxing by the pool or lake and soaking in some much-needed Vitamin D.  I am thrilled to assume the helm of River Oaks Lifestyle as Owner and Publisher starting with this special Summer Fun issue. In gratitude to our departing publisher Alan Eixman and his wife and gifted editor Christa Eixman for setting the standard, I wish you endless fun in your next adventure!

And now, a little about me – I launched Memorial Lifestyle amidst the first year of the pandemic and it has been such a rewarding journey so far. I am at my best when I am ‘connecting the dots’ between local business owners and our readers and when sharing inspiring stories. I promise to bring the same heart and purpose to this magazine as well. You deserve it.

I pinch myself daily at my good fortune to lead a powerhouse team of gifted women who work their tails off to bring the magic each month – my extraordinary editor Gabi De la Rosa, my assistant Kayla Shutts, and my rockstar photographer Lauren Holub.  You will meet them in the coming issues!

In addition to wearing the entrepreneur and publisher hat, I am Mom to a beautiful twenty-something redhead and aspiring actress living her dream on the West Coast; I am the fiancé to my sweet soulmate Jeremy; and furbaby momma to my Cavapoo Penny Apricot and Ragdoll cat Coco Diva.  I am a native Houstonian, a self-professed foodie, and a passionate promoter of all things local.

That’s enough about me – time to dig into this juicy issue! Our cover feature showcases the meteoric rise of the Queen of Ranch Water, Katie Beal Brown.  We follow her footsteps from a small West Texas town girl, with an impactful detour in New York City, and finally to CEO of one of the hottest beverage brands on the market today. Choosing to partner with Miranda Lambert for the next level of success, this duo is shaking up the scene and you are invited along for the ride.

There’s much more inside so grab some lemonade (or Ranch Water!) and get comfy. Everyone is a friend, so feel free to drop me a line at suzanne. schakett@citylifestyle.com and follow us on IG.  There’s so much to look forward to, together.

A PIONEERING SPIRIT

Katie Beal Brown grew up on her family’s ranch in a small, far West Texas town where her family settled over 100 years ago.

It was here she developed her pioneering spirit. It’s a spirit dating back to her great-great-grandfather, who patented the wire fence tightener in 1894, and her great-grandfather, one of the early wildcatters (late 19th-century oil prospectors who drilled exploratory wells).

“Since I was a little girl, I was always very ambitious, and I’ve always had entrepreneurial ambitions,” she recalls. “But I was never sure how that would manifest itself in my life down the road.”

Fast forward to 2023. Katie is now the CEO of Lone River Beverage Company, which dominates the Texas market with its take on the classic cocktail of tequila, soda and lime. But what sparked the idea?

She wanted to share a piece of West Texas with her friends.

A TASTE OF HOME

When Katie got married, she and her husband moved to New York City.

While there, a common question she received at social gatherings was, “Where are you from?”

Rather than explain where her hometown is on the map, Katie showed them the spirit of West Texas by introducing them to the region’s signature ranch water.

“When I would tell people the name of the town that I grew up in, they didn’t have any real context or connection to it,” Katie recalls. “But doing it through the lens of ranch water kind of allowed me to share a little more about the culture of West Texas.”

Brown served the cocktail to her friends at parties, and what began as an icebreaker quickly spread beyond her social circle.

“Our friends introduced it to their friends, and I felt like there was a bigger interest in this cocktail,” she says.

Katie, who worked for an advertising agency then, had a lightbulb moment.

She thought, “What if we built a brand and packaged this drink in a way that we could share it with more people?”

Over the next two to three years, Katie went through the process of figuring out how to bring her idea to life, and in 2019, she founded Lone River. She notes the symbolism behind the name, mentioning how a river shapes a landscape and moves things out of its way to go down a path.

“In an area where there’s not a lot of water, there is this lone river charting its own path,” Katie explains. “It spoke to the pioneering spirit of my family and the pioneering spirit that built the brand.”

After receiving the funding to take the brand to the next level, she quit her job in January 2020 to focus on the business

Miranda Lambert

full-time. Later that year, she secured a major distribution deal with H-E-B, one of Texas’ largest grocery store chains, with a deadline to deliver the order by April 1, 2020.

But little did she know the brand she built while living in New York City would bring her back to the small town where she grew up.

WELCOME HOME

Katie and her husband were at her family’s ranch when COVID19 hit in March 2020, which led to them deciding to move from New York City to Fort Worth. For Katie, the move back to Texas was an opportunity to bring her business full circle and reconnect with the region that inspired her. With the distribution deadline looming, the pressure was on.

Thankfully, they met the deadline, and Ranch Water hit the shelves in April 2020. The product, made with agave nectar and a taste of lime, comes in four flavors — original, prickly pear, Rio red grapefruit and spicy.

During the spring and summer of 2021, Lone River expanded to a national audience and caught the attention of the global beverage leader Diageo, which acquired the company in August 2021.

In April 2022, Lone River launched its Ranch Rita Classic Margarita, followed by the release of a variety pack in February. The variety pack includes the classic, blood orange, mango and spicy flavors.

CELEBRATING COUNTRY CULTURE

In March, Lone River partnered with country music superstar Miranda Lambert to launch a new ad campaign that honors the grit and spirit of country culture.

The campaign also highlights the “do-it-your-own-way” ethos on which Katie and Miranda got their start as trailblazing Texan women.

“I don’t do a ton of partnerships, but I was drawn to Katie’s story, and found so many similarities with my own, so working with Lone River is really special for me,” Miranda says in a press release. “I’m a storyteller first and foremost, and that’s exactly what Katie set out to do with this brand.”

Lone River approached working with the country music powerhouse like a true partnership. They wanted more than a celebrity face to associate the brand with, and Miranda far exceeded their expectations.

“Coming out of our shoot with her, she sent me a note that said it felt really right and real,” Katie recalls. “We wanted somebody that represents the values of where we come from and would be invested in helping us build this brand.”

Katie and Miranda will also team up to host luncheons and

Miranda Lambert

networking events to empower entrepreneurial women. As Lone River continues to make its mark in the beverage industry nationwide, Katie wants to ensure that people remember where it all started.

“We wouldn’t be here without the support of our local consumers,” she says. “We had a dream of bringing this product to life and introducing it to as many people as possible. I never imagined we’d be a national brand, and a lot of that is because of the support Texans have given us along the way.” loneriverbevco.com

EASY ELEGANCE

With longtime River Oaks area rug resource London Grey marking a decade at its Upper Kirby location (3600 Kirby Drive at Richmond), we sat down at the go-to boutique for premium, one-of-a-kind and custom pieces to get the perspective on pile from three, top Houston area designers.

ARTICLE BY RIVER OAKS LIFESTYLE STAFF

PHOTOGRAPHY BY COURTESY OF LONDON GREY RUGS

THREE INTERIOR DESIGNERS SHARE THEIR EXPERT ADVICE ABOUT STYLING WITH RUGS AND CARPET.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT A RUG THAT MAKES IT A KEY ELEMENT OF DESIGN?

According to Leslie Strauss , an interiors pro in Ladco’s Resort Design Group a Houston-based team known for their dazzling work in vacation hotspots ranging from Cabo to Telluride, “A rug can help define different areas within a room, such as seating vignette in a living room or a dining area in an open-concept space. They can also help to break large areas to create a more intimate feel.

Erin Hicks, who has built a following both for her Houston-centric cookbook series and her hospitality designs for restaurants such as Bayou City Seafood & Pasta, Rainbow Lodge and soon-to-open PostScript HTX at Arrive River Oaks adds, “Rugs are a dynamic and unifying element that provide color, texture and beneficial acoustical properties.”

Sought-after for her sophisticated interiors in both primary and secondary homes, Carrie Evans says, “A rug is the anchor of the room. It ties everything together, creating a warm, inviting and individualized space.”

WHAT ARE THE DOS AND DON’TS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN CHOOSING A RUG FOR A SPACE?

Evans: It all depends on the lifestyle of the client and what they hope to achieve. Someone with pets or children should steer clear of silk, or any rugs with viscose. Natural fiber rugs are a good option for something less expensive and neutral, and they never really go out of style. I love when a client is willing to take a risk with a rug, because they can add an element of fun and unpredictability to a room.

Strauss: Do consider factors such as durability, ease of maintenance, comfort and suitability for the specific room. If the rug will be in a high-traffic area, choose a sturdy material such as wool, polypropylene, nylon or polyester. And always check the cleaning instructions. Do not use a vacuum with a rotating brush or beater bars, which can break the fibers and distort the pile; instead opt for a canister-style vacuum cleaner that primarily use suction to clean. Don’t skimp on rug pads – look for a felt or a felt and rubber mix that won’t stain or ruin your floors.

Hicks: Size definitely matters when it comes to rugs. In a dining room, make sure the rug is large enough to be able to comfortably pull out chairs. In a bedroom, king size beds need something at least 9 x 12 foot and queen beds shouldn’t be smaller than 8 x 10. And rugs should be at least 6 inches wider

Erin Hicks

on each side of a sofa. Go bold and don’t be afraid of color, pattern and texture. Rugs can typically be replaced or relocated more easily than fine furniture.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE RUGS AT THE MOMENT?

Hicks: I’m a huge fan of heirloom rugs, and lately I’m loving wool and silk textured and shaggy rugs. I’m also really drawn to the juxtaposition of a more traditional antique rug in a contemporary space.

Strauss: The clean lines, geometric patterns and a muted color palette of modern rugs are perfect for those who want to add a touch of contemporary style to their space. I love vintage Turkish Oushaks in muted hues in both traditional and contemporary homes. The “perfectly imperfect” pattern ads character without being overpowering.

Evans: I’m in love with the variety of modern rugs available now. I also love the opportunities that exist to customize a rug for particular spaces. I was over the ‘gray’ phase years ago, and it’s nice to see a trend back to fun, vibrant colors.

WHAT’S AN UNEXPECTED PLACE OR WAY TO USE A RUG IN A DESIGN?

Strauss: Using a rug as a wall hanging can create an eclectic, bohemian look. I’ve also used them to cover ottomans.

Evans: As much as I like to think outside the box, I don’t want to see a rug on a wall, or at an angle, etc. As they say, ‘everything in its place.’

Hicks: Rug-upholstered ottomans plus floor and throw pillows are a fun touch. They can also be interesting as a headboard or divider.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON CUSTOM WALLTO-WALL CARPETING?

Evans: While I prefer hardwoods with rugs, there are so many fun patterns and colors in wallto-wall now.

Hicks: I generally prefer modular carpet tiles if going wall-to-wall, but if you are a non-red-wine drinking person without pets or children (she laughs), I think custom wall-to-wall carpeting can be beautiful.

Strauss: I love wall to wall carpeting in bedrooms, closets, playrooms and home theaters. It acts as an insulator, keeping warm and cool air from escaping, absorbing sound and providing a soft surface to step on.
