Wednesday Nesting: Antiquing, NOLA-style

Apr 21, 2010


Continuing with our New Orleans visit, one of my favorite places we visited was Tara Shaw's showroom on Camp Street in the Garden District. I've long been a fan of Swedish/Gustavian antiques and Tara specializes in those, as well as French and Italian antiques ... It was such a treat to admire so many gems in one room!

The chairs shown above reminded me of hot air balloons and I started thinking how fabulous it would be to use those for a laidback wedding in a wheat field, followed by the bride and groom taking off in a balloon, waving goodbye to guests. :o)


Such endless inspiration ... Seriously, if you find yourself in the Big Easy, head over to Tara's shop, if only to dream. It was a delight.

And check back in tomorrow for a glimpse at some of our Alabama travels and finds!
