| The wreath on my front door |
To inspire you I give you a round up of images of houses in my neighborhood. No sooner do Christmas decorations go down, and Carnival decorations go up.

| My house decked out for Mardi Gras |
I did some Guest Picks at Houzz so you can shop on line. Here in New Orleans every grocery and drug store sells Mardi Gras decorations, as well as the local big box stores, and huge stores devoted entirely to Carnival merchandise.

What a great post...love it! The house on St. C that you posted with the two Rex flags and the Comus flag is the house that Rex actually stops at during the parade to toast b/c so many carnival royals live there and have owned the home for so long! Fun fact.
