Laissez les bons temps rouler! People in Louisiana and throughout the country celebrate Mardi Gras, which culminates on Fat Tuesday, February 17th. The colors of tradition - vibrant purple, green, and gold. These colors are more than festive decoration—they carry meaning. In many ways, Mardi Gras is a masterclass in the power of color, something we understand deeply as architects and interior designers; color is never an afterthought. It is a strategic design tool, carefully selected to influence mood, behavior, and experience.

The popularity of pickleball is estimated to have grown nearly 40% between 2019 and 2021. More than 36.5 million people played the sport between August 2021 and 2022.
