We love this city for creole cuisine, beignets, jazz, Anne Rice novels, antiques and the storied elegance of the Garden District and the French Quarter.

Here are few EASY ideas we found in New Orleans for sumptuous Southern charm at home:

• Fill a vase with fresh flowers.
• Use the good china everyday.
• Mix in antique pieces with modern looks.
• Play a jazz CD, sit down, have a glass of wine and enjoy your surroundings.
