Laissez les bon temps rouler… On the Mantle {Mardi Gras 2014}

 

Sing it! It’s Mardi Gras time…..

I wanted to start my Mardi Gras posts with the facade but the weather will not cooperate. I am waiting for a sunny, not so windy day to take outdoor photos. I hope you will not mind.

On the parlor mantle, I used a ball garland in the signature colors of purple, green, and gold. Harlequin-designed bows are tied loosely to each corner.

On the bottom shelf, I filled my English biscuit barrel with plumes. Two of my Lorraine Gendron parade pieces fill the middle. A Japanese Quince Seda France candle in a crown holder completes the vignette.

Atop, I filled two more biscuit barrels with metallic shreds.

The parlor mantle is ready to greet all the Mardi Gras revelers who visit the house on Perrier.

I hope you will join me in my 2014 Mardi Gras decorated home tour.

  11. I think I must have the Mardi Gras fleur de lis flex cups. And I promise to use them for every holiday, including our St. Pat's open house. (Will you guys make it this year? We're only a few blocks from Gary!)
