It all started with a tree that we fell in love with.  My family and I moved to Baton Rouge after the big flood of 2016 and were in search of land to build on.  We stumbled across a beautiful piece of land filled with many mature trees and surrounded by wonderful neighbors.  At the center of the property was a beautiful oak.  As we walked closer to it, we noticed the ground was still saturated by the heavy Louisiana rains, causing our steps to sink into the mud.  We moved into our new home 8 months following that day with that old tree standing tall in our backyard.

I hope you enjoy the collection of art and special memories created at the Muddy Oak Manor.
