A peek at perch.

I love New Orleans.  Prior to last week, my visits to that wonderful city have been for the same purpose: JazzFest.  JazzFest is a music lover's equivalent of the Boston Marathon.  It's a test.  There are lots of ways to complete the task, but those who get through it by sacrificing their health a little bit seem to get a lot out of it.  Going to New Orleans for work was a first.  Luckily, a colleague and I got into town a day earlier than most and we decided to head to Magazine Street for lunch and a little shopping.

When we stepped into perch., I couldn't help but pull out my iphone to snap a few pictures.  It's been a while since I did a shop tour and I'm really excited to bring you one from far away.

 

The animals painted onto this highboy combined with the birch logs made me smile. 

I loved the heft of that frame and the reflection of that gorgeous, turquoise chandelier in the mirror.  

The perch. folks blogged about that chandelier a few weeks ago.

 

This is the view to the left when you walk in.  Gorgeous!

 

To the right of the door is a room set as a dining room with this massive, black chandelier.  

 

Yet another huge light fixture.  This one seemed made for New Orleans.

I thought I was tired of beige, but these beige patterns felt fresh and interesting.

 Striking butterflies...they might have been 3D, not just prints.

 

 Per the perch. blog, there's a pumpkin shortage due to Hurricane Irene.  Their solution is pretty charming!

 The staff member in the shop said "pardon the mess."  I didn't even see it because of that amazing bed.

Anyone else not tired of acrylic? I like it.

I loved these paper butterflies. There's a DIY project here, for sure.
