Mardi Gras | NOLA

 

I don’t know about you but I have always been infatuated with Southern Style, the colors, architecture and the interiors! I have yet to visit the beautiful city of New Orleans, hopefully one day I will have a chance to see this wonderful city full of life. Today is a Mardi Gras, which is French for Fat Tuesday, referring to the events of Carnival. This is a celebration period just before fasting of the Lenten season, as tomorrow is Ash Wednesday marking the beginning of Lent. To my fascination with southern style I wanted to share a little of that with you. It’s an eclectic blend of tradition and whimsy that make this look absolutely dreamy!

My experience of traveling in the south visiting Charleston, South Carolina & Savannah Georgia. A Balcony is everything, a nice place to relax free of the sun with the cool breeze. This iron porch adorned with ferns and crawling flora makes this a classic southern style.

The vibrant purple grasscloth brings elegance to this dining room alongside the dark wooden table and chairs. The antique chandelier softens up the space along with the gorgeous pastel rug!

I had a lot of fun creating this blog, researching places and interiors to share that inspire. Let me know what places inspire you?
