I am back from my trip to Baton Rouge!

It was so much fun but I am completely exhausted!

Luckily my client and good friend Rachel has great taste, it sure made my job a lot easier.

She already had most of the furniture but needed help with the finishing touches.

In the living room we added the lamps, cowhide rug, ottoman tray, and bookshelf accessories.

We are able to find great deals shopping at Target, World Market, Z Gallerie, Hobby Lobby, and a few local shops.

It’s amazing how adding the cowhide rug really finished off the room.

The tray and bowl are from Z Gallerie.

The lamps are from Target and the candy dish is from World Market.

I love the branches on the top shelf, we found those at Z Gallerie.

My friend loves stripes, how great are these chairs?

The entryway was such a fun little project.

All she had was a console table from Pottery Barn and we added the rest.

The mirror is from World Market and was only $150.00.

I can’t get enough of it!

The rug was from Urban Outfitters for $69.00!

Love that chevron.

We also managed to give her master bedroom a quick overhaul.

We added the mirror, lamps, pillows, headboard, and accessories.

The front pillows are from Target, I adore them!

We made the headboard, more details on that this week.

The mirrors were a steal, $35.00 from Hobby Lobby!

I am so happy with how everything turned out.

Yay for speed shopping, now I need a long nap!

Also, the day before I left the painters arrived to start on the kitchen.

It is going to be amazing, I can’t wait to show you. Just think white!

Yesterday we took a little break from decorating and headed to the French Quarter in New Orleans.

What a cool place.

We were only there for a couple of hours but we still managed to…

Eat beignets at Cafe Du Monde,

ride the street car,

and gawk at the incredible architecture! 

I love this place.

We then rushed home with enough time to make a headboard and hang a few mirrors, no biggie.

Lets just say…I am tired!

Today I will be taking photos of all our hard work before I head home.

I can’t wait to show you, I am loving it.

Today was such a productive day.

We shopped for  8 hours straight and got so much great stuff.

Here are a few of our favorite purchases:

I love layering rugs and her living room was crying for a cowhide rug.

It adds great texture and interest to the space.

We bought this rug downtown Baton Rouge for $300.00.

We snagged this black and white print from an antique store downtown Baton Rouge for 20.00.

I love the personal touch it adds to her bookshelves.

We added a little chevron flair to her entry by picking up a rug from Urban Outfitters for $69.00

Yum.

We found these blue and white decorative balls from an amazing home decor shop for $3.49 each.

My friend is obsessed with stripes so we couldn’t pass these up!

Tomorrow we are getting all the supplies to make a DIY headboard and two pieces of art.

Yep, I love my job!

Yesterday I flew into Baton Rouge Louisiana to help a friend finish decorating a home she just bought.

The next four days will be packed full of shopping, decorating, DIY projects, and LOTS of eating southern food.

This is my first time visiting the good ole south, I can’t wait to experience it.

I will be popping back in to share our progress, it should be lots of fun.

Do you know of any good home decor shopping spots in New Orleans?

I would love to hear!
