Here is a valet desk painted for a CBD hotel... the idea was to take the shell emblem from the column behind the desk and enlarge the design. Personally, I think it's tres chic.... like it came straight from Paris, baby! Oui, Oui, no? Yet it is SOOO New Orleans- a little black, a little gold, a little like a feathered Mardi Gras mask AND a fleur de lis combined, not to mention that elegant decadence flair that "NO" is known for.
