Miles Redd is coming to New Orleans!!!! Ta Da!!!! All you decor mavens put it on your calendar: Wednesday April 17, 5:30 PM at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. The event is called Southern Style: Miles Redd.

Get free tickets to see Miles Redd on Wednesday when he gives a chat and signs books at the Ogden - Just leave a comment

Hey You! Come and hang out with Miles Redd! This is Miles taking a ride in a planter being taken up to his rooftop garden by a crane! Amazing! You can ask him about it when you see him in New Orleans on Wednesday!

Miles is a nice guy, very friendly and forthcoming.  He even answered my email when I was painting my bedroom Miles Redd Green. You can listen to a great interview with him and the ladies of the Skirted Roundtable.  There is a great article on Miles with an interview and some great styling tips in the Wall Street Journal that I think you will also enjoy.

We all have folders and Pinterest boards stuffed with his images, and I think it would be great to meet him and thank him for sharing his talent and inspiring us.


Blue padded and nail head studded doors - just one of many inspiring ideas from Miles Redd

Miles Redd brought back the lambrequin and made it hip!

Miles Redd loves color

His front door launched thousands of blogger comments on the color blue he mixed himself

Pink walls and a red couch got us all going

Miles Red is the mix master of furnishings and color

Extraordinary repetition

Black and lacquer oh my!


So come on out to the Ogden when Miles gives a cozy talk and signs his book The Big Book of Chic. You can buy tickets in advance from the Ogden.

  3. Oh, I wish I could be there but I'm on the other side of the country. I love these rooms, drenched in color...saturated, sumptuous. Equally said for your bedroom.

    By the way, I enjoyed reading the article on you in the sidebar, when you were featured in the local NOLA publication about a tango parlor in your shotgun. I've been reading you here for awhile and I enjoy your love of color and quirk. I want to be daring like you with COLOR. (My husband isn't so sure...alas, he is medically color-blind! Green to him looks like babyPoop-brown. Sigh...)
