Laissez les bon temps rouler… The Facade {Mardi Gras 2014}

 

The facade of our home is bedecked in the colors of Mardi Gras- purple, green, & gold.

The facade features several fan buntings on the balcony and on the roof of the front porch.

2 large comedy/tragedy masks fit perfectly atop each entrance. Metallic garlands surround the doorways.

On each door is a majestic crown by Melissa Henry of Show Me the Door.

On the oyster wreath, I added a large papier mache mask topped with plumes in purple, green, and gold.

In each urn, two crown candle holders add to the carnival spirit.

Purple petunias fill the front garden and an accent cast iron pot at the front door.

The balcony also features a grapevine wreath sprayed gold and filled with seasonal LED lights.

  18. Fabulous job Ron, I'm starting with your first MG post so I can take in all the decor, inside and out. We all love buntings whether it's 4th of July or the purple and gold for MG. Your southern home is gorgeous. Every touch from the buntings, the garland, the door crowns, the petunias, you have it decked. I'm going to visit more of your MG posts. Also perfect giveaway for MG, nothing beats a party and fun with friends. I am a viewer of your blog.
