Free Tickets To PRC Shotgun House Tour On Saturday

New Orleans is especially beautiful now. Spring sprung a couple of months ago The weather is perfect, and everything is blooming. What a perfect time for the Shotgun House Tour hosted by the Preservation Resource Center. And they have given me two tickets to give away to you. Just leave a comment, and one of you will be chosen at random.

Ashley Longshore did the art work for the 2013  PRC Shotgun House Tour posters

There are seven great houses on the tour this year, taking place in the posh Uptown section of New Orleans. The humble shotgun house never looked prettier or more grand. So all you looky-lous have a wonderful chance to see the inside of these homes. And anyone in the midst of renovating their home will get lots of great ideas from viewing these wonderful houses.

  5. I love the "shotgun" house tour because it's "real" houses-- not ginormous mansions. I am especially looking forward to Jonathan Ferrara's house. The art will be spectacular!!!
