Featured Home: Back in Time at Oak Alley Plantation

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Suzy Q

If you are visiting Louisiana you have got to make a stop at the beautiful Oak Alley plantation. This gorgeous mansion is located nearby the Mississippi River, and is famous for its driveway lined with enormous oak trees. Its gracious interiors are so romantic and charming, definitely a house I would love living in.

If you can’t get enough of this look, try hunting for antiques from the 18^th century or for look-a-likes made out of solid wood with ornate detailing. Then, give you’re finished look a twist by mixing in modern pieces and using vibrant prints to reupholster your finds.

Careful detailing throughout the home using moldings, finely carved wood furniture, and luxurious Persian carpets really brings the look together. This is without a doubt a Gone with The Wind dream home.

Southern Historic Home in Alabama

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Suzy Q

Welcome to a gorgeous historic home Eutaw, Alabama. This home was toured by Emily, a creative blogger who recently took a historical tour in Alabama of grand old mansions, cottages, and the beautiful countryside.

When I saw this home, I immediately fell in love with its elegant charm and sense of class which most homes lack today. I love the historic and antique furniture inside which all creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere that feels like home. What is interesting is that all the walls are kept white, while color is added through lots of Persian carpets, rare China, colorful throws, and bright upholstery.
