Welcome!

Welcome to the Southern Chateau, where my love of beautiful, classic design is showcased. A combination of old and new, high and low, simple and luxurious. If you see something here on my blog you are interested in, just contact me at carol@carolraley.com - I can most likely get it for you!

Thanks for stopping by - and be sure to visit my business Web site: http://www.carolraley.com/!
