New Orleans, Mardi Gras Decor for Homes

By
Real Estate Agent with Gardner Realtors, Licensed in La.

Mardi Gras season is upon us in South Louisiana and people like to decorate their homes. This home is not too far from where i live and it caught my eye this morning. These guys are in the spirit. This River Ridge Acadian style home besides have some great Spring time plants already is getting ready for Fat Tuesday which is a week form tommorow. They more than likely will decorate for Easter. Not many other places decorate like people do down here. More than likey they are getting ready for a party since there hasnt been any since the Super Bowl, Saints NFC game, New Years, and Christmas. At least a couple per month. Will have more as the parades get going this week.

How cool is that! Indeed, in the spirit Eric Bouler ! The home is gorgeous, but the decorations and all the flowers in bloom really knock it over the top! Great post!

Eric - I also had no idea that people decorated their homes during Mardi Gras. I had some friends who made it down there this year during Mardi Gras, and I would like to eventually be there during that celebration. They actually got to ride on one of the floats during the parade, and had a fabulous time.
