Each weekend try to post a Show Me Yours. It can include a favorite food to something about you. Show me the deets and I will show you mine. Key word is show: So show us some snazzy pictures not just words.
I've been wanting to share pictures of the Main Library here in New Orleans. It's absolutely gorgeous inside. One of the reasons I love it is I can come here and visualize the fancy homes in those saucy historical novels. Look at how beautiful it is:
I think this is a meeting room:
This is my favorite room:
This is the ceiling in the green room you can glimpse on the left in the room above, and the sunroom is through the doorway on the right in the room above:
The kid's area:
This is my favorite room:
Look at the wallpaper - it's beautiful! I can just imagine ladies sitting, waiting on their gentlemen callers, having tea and chatting about the latest gossip.....
So, what do you like about your local library?
Wow. It's so elegant!
ReplyDeleteThis is my neighborhood library.
Wow Patti, absolutely beautiful. That ceiling is amazing. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful library.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love most about my library is the HUGE OVER STUFFED leather chairs with side lamps that swing around so you can read in any light you like.

Absolutely gorgeous, Patti. I'm not even gonna my wee, local library. LOL.
ReplyDeleteAww girl you brought Show Me Your's back *singing Sexy Back :), thanks a lot! I will bring it back in a month or so when the weather gets a bit warmer.
ReplyDeleteOne day in the near future I will so stop by New Orleans and visit your beautiful library. The libraries in the city are a bit smaller and too modern for my taste. I love the rustic feel in a library, gives more of a homey feel to it.
Thank You Patti! I certainly love love love this post.
