Cottages of New Orleans!

New Orleans post-houses
The tour begins with this two-story pink Victorian—notice the blue porch ceiling.

The French Quarter—yes, we are in New Orleans. Great food, amazing drinks, great jazz, warm people and beautiful architecture are all on my mind. Cottages are on the plan for the day and this city just keeps on giving with cottages in every size and color you can imagine. The rainbow is represented here in all of it’s glory. The arched doors, the full length shutters, the corbels, the windows—design details are everywhere you look. And don’t forget those blue porch ceilings to scare away the ‘Haints.’ Take a little tour with me and enjoy your New Orleans walking tour—then head back for oysters and cocktails.
