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.
