Mardi Gras Mambo {House Floats: Muses @ Night ~ 4026 St. Charles Avenue}

J and I missed our usual Thursday night festivities with my favorite parade, Muses, so we trekked on down for a frozen French 75 at Superior Seafood and walked to the grand Muses-inspired home on the Avenue. If you though the house was amazing during the daytime, take a look at how stunning it is at night. The star lights are perfect.

I also wanted to share the amazing float by Rex's own Royal Artists at Superior Seafood on the corner of Napoleon and St. Charles Avenues. I love that customers of the restaurant can even dine on the inside of the float. The spirit of Mardi Gras is alive and well.

Here's a couple daytime pics outside Superior Seafood:

I will share more of our nighttime walk in future posts. Stay tuned!

From Our Home to Yours {Christmas Facade at Night}

There is nothing better than the sight of twinkling lights in the night sky. I love Christmas decorations and do my very best to keep it classy from year to year. This year was exciting due to the fact that J and I are in a new home. A new home means new decorations and new displays.

I will always keep the look of my decorations traditional and classic. I love reds and golds. Red velvet ribbons are perfect for the outdoors.

You witnessed the daytime facade yesterday, so today you can take in the loveliness at nightfall.

Oh My Gourd! {Halloween at Night: Video}

I always love the glow and flickering of the lights at night especially during the Halloween season. The flicker lights on the fence and the orangish fire lights cast a spooktacular glow upon the cottage.
And how about the sound effects? I could not have timed that out more perfectly.

Mardi Gras {Nighttime Facade}

I always love the look of the purple, green, and gold lights at night. The spirit of the night parades "shines" through the decorations on Perrier.

We are carnival-ready on Perrier. How about you?

A Spooktacular Halloween {Facade at Night}

One of the things I love most about Halloween is driving around at night to see the ghosts and goblins all lit up for the season. My home on Perrier Street comes alive at night too.

Check out the video from last night:

I love the glow that the fire and ice floodlights that I purchased through Grandin Road last year produce. Combined with orange string lights, flicker lights, and a couple strobe lights, the front facade is highlighted quite well for visitors and passers-by alike.
