This week, I got to visit Crawfish Haven/Mrs. Rose's Bed and Breakfast just outside of Kaplan, Louisiana, as an event guest. What makes the century-old home unique is the crawfish pond behind it, and more in the near vicinity, allowing guests to go on crawfishing excursions. Talk about eating local food when you can eat crawfish caught just feet away!
The home includes a newly built enclosed patio made with materials from a detached garage that had been torn down. I love that they salvaged so many materials to make the patio, and my favorite accents were these crawfish trap lights.
Reusing materials to make something else that's functional? Those materials are crawfish traps? That, my friends, is pretty much the epitome of the "eco cajun" spirit!
