Here's the editorial review: Debra Shriver tells the story of finding and restoring a house in the French Quarter of New Orleans in the wake of Katrina. Part love letter, part scrapbook; readers are given a rare tour of this enigmatic city. The book is a cultural guidebook and historical reference of America's most European city, featuring the work of more than 20 photographers and artists. Chapters highlight food and entertaining, decorating, gardens, landscapes, local traditions, interiors, and architecture. via Amazon
The gorgeous aforementioned cover
so chic
perfect
We had a huge magnolia tree on the farm where I grew up and just looking at this picture I can literally smell the blossoms.The book can be purchased here.

Oh I just found your blog and how lovely it is :) I would love to have the book for my design library. I am just new to blogging, but I am adding you to my blog list.
One question, How do you know what to blog? You see have many ideas in my head and then when I sit down to write it, it sounds dumb on paper. Is that ever a problem for anyone else?
The book looks wonderful. I love the pictures.
