The Setting
Poplar Grove
A family home — and the grounds where Perla quietly took shape.
Perla sits on the grounds of Poplar Grove, our family home — five acres of picturesque gardens on the bank of the Mississippi River, just across from Baton Rouge. Several buildings on the property — and the gardens themselves — became the world Perla grew up in.
The Showroom
Perla Fine Wallcoverings.
By-appointment, holding the largest selection of luxury wallpapers and brands in Louisiana.
The Carriage House
Open-air pavilion under the oaks.
A shaded gathering place on the grounds — where students catch their breath between sessions.
The School
Perla Wallpaper School.
A renovated cottage on the grounds — the schoolhouse where students learn the craft.
The Gardens
Quiet grounds, changing with the season.
Live oaks, azaleas in spring, and long shaded walks between the buildings.
