The Ultimate New Orleans Resource Directory
August 7, 2007 12:27 PM

2007- second edition
August is the final month of summer and a time for new beginnings. The weather will hopefully reach its final peak of heat (one hopes), kids are are going back to school and there’s a little phenomenon called “Saints season” starting up. It’s a time for a clean slate and a fresh start.
This month is also a good time to begin thinking about shaping up your home. Maybe you’ve been waiting to redecorate, need a new paint job, or you’ve possibly been craving that perfect centerpiece for the kitchen table. Whatever your needs or wants are for the home, New Orleans Homes and Lifestyles has compiled an in-depth listing of businesses which are waiting to help, making your rebuilding, refurbishing or redecorating that much easier.
Note: While our goal is to make this resource directory as comprehensive as possible, we are by no means able to list every vendor. If you know of a retailer or service provider who you think should be added to this list, or have a correction, mail it to: New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles, 110 Veterans Blvd., Ste. 123, Metairie, La. 70005 or fax to 504/828-1395, Attn: Sarah Ravits; or email: sravits@renaissancepublishingllc.com.
