Big treasures in little Sunset


If you ever go to Sunset, Louisiana (if you can ever find Sunset, Louisiana) don't miss this place. It's called Melange and it's a wonderland in the middle of nowhere.

Row after row of antique European doors, huge weathered wrought-iron gates from France, and century-old furniture from eastern Europe. It's amazing.

We spent hours there and I could have spent hours more. We bought a French wrought-iron wall planter and a beautiful old hand-painted keyed chest from Hungary.

We coveted many, many other things. We'll be back.

  3. There is a place like that in Chicago someplace, danged if I can remember the name. But I think they get all the cool architectural detail stuff they can from any of the old buildings being refurbished or torn down. Awesome stuff, floor after floor. Actually it's pretty overwhelming - you could spend a day looking at all the stuff!
