Five Reasons You Should Attend the Colorful Cottages of Minden, Louisiana, Tour of Homes

Have you ever wanted to step into a world of vibrant colors and charming homes? The Colorful Cottages of Minden tour in Minden, Louisiana, is the perfect event for you! Presented by Cottages and Bungalows Magazine, Chair Whimsy, and me, this tour will take you through some of the most delightful and unique cottages you’ve ever seen. Here are the top five reasons you should attend our amazing event!

Support a Great Cause: Phillip’s Cottage

The number one reason to attend The Colorful Cottages of Minden tour is that a portion of the proceeds goes to support Phillip’s Cottage. Phillip’s Cottage (named after my late, amazing dad Phillip Carroll) will be a wonderful, cottage style property that provides a safe and nurturing home for women in transition along with their children. By purchasing a ticket to the tour, you’re not just getting a chance to see my cozy properties (including my personal home), you’re also helping to make a difference in the lives of women with children in transition! It’s a win-win situation!

Experience the Beauty of My Colorful Cottages

You will get to experience and tour my villas, the Fuller White house (as seen on Magnolia Network), Phillip’s Cottage, my personal home that started it all, and do a drive-by look-see of The Cottage on Fort. It is unlikely all of my properties will be open for tour on ONE DAY ever again! So, definitely take advantage of this opportunity. You’ll get to see a variety of styles, from cozy, cottage farmhouse to my whimsical villas to a stately Victorian, each with its own personality and flair. It’s like walking through a storybook village!

Visit the Cottage Markets (Curated and Vintage)

The tour isn’t just about looking at pretty houses. You can also visit two fantastic markets. At The Villas at Spanish Court, you’ll find the Curated Cottage Market, featuring a wonderful selection of handmade goods, home decor, and unique finds from local artisans. Additionally, the Vintage Cottage Market in Academy Park will offer an array of vintage treasures, antique furniture, and charming decor items. Both markets are perfect places to pick up special souvenirs or unique pieces for your home. These two markets are also open to the general public. Stay tuned to my social media accounts for listing these amazing artisans and shoppes!

Explore Minden, Louisiana

Minden itself is a charming and historic town with plenty to offer. While you’re here for the tour, take some time to explore the local shops, restaurants, and historic downtown and residential district. The town’s friendly atmosphere and Southern hospitality will make your visit even more enjoyable. Discover the beauty and charm of Minden as you wander through its streets and discover why we are called the friendliest city in th south.

Get Inspired for Your Own Home

One of the best things about The Colorful Cottages of Minden tour is the inspiration you’ll gain for your own home. As you walk through each cottage, you’ll see creative decorating ideas, clever use of space, and beautiful color schemes that you can incorporate into your own home. It’s like getting a personal tour of the best home decor magazine come to life! And a BIG bonus will be getting to meet and learn from the one and only Wendy Conklin of Chair Whimsy!
