The

Architecture

Collection

Laurel, Mississippi is not your average small town where every house and building looks the same. Home to Mississippi's largest and most diverse collection of early twentieth-century architecture, our beautiful small town is a flavorful potpourri of American and European styles, each with unique character and assets - no two alike. To celebrate the outstanding architecture in Laurel, Erin and the team got to work dreaming up unique ways to pay homage to the designs that have inspired so many.

Cape Cod
Cape Cod-style homes are symmetrical and sturdy, originally built to withstand harsh New England winters. The boxy, rectangular design in this cherry board is our interpretation of the cedar shakes adorning the exterior of classic Cape Cod homes. The scent of the Cape Cod candle is inspired by the marine, saltwater fragrance that permeates coastal walks.

Craftsman
With exposed beams and rafters, front porches and quaint decorative features, Craftsman-style homes emerged in the early 1900s as a casual, more harmonious design option. Inspired by Stickley hardwood furniture, these inviting homes featured oak, custom built-ins and simple, handcrafted details.
These white oak boards with end-grain mimic mortise-and-tenon joinery common to furniture built for Craftsman houses. The fragrance is a soft, garden rose with citrus undertones paired with the floral and woodsy aroma of musk to create a refreshing and inviting experience.

Cottage
Even if you don’t know much about architectural design, you usually can’t go wrong calling a small house a cottage. It’s a broad category with many different stylistic interpretations. For theses boards, we implemented a Chippendale pattern common in the railings of cottages around our city. Because cottage homes are friendly and nostalgic, we paired the friendliest and most hospitable scents we could think of - lemon zest and vanilla cookies.

Four Square
Four-Square homes offer beautiful simplicity with their boxy shape, large windows, and signature front porches. These white oak and walnut boards reflect the standard four posts often found on the porches of these homes - and you know how much we value front porches around here. Described as “truly American” by home builders who were moving on from Victorian-era houses, what scent could be more American than Apple Pie and Cream?

Italianate
Inspired by the 16th Century Italian Renaissance, Italianate-style homes are grand and ever-so aesthetically pleasing. The narrow-arched windows, eaves, corbels and towering height are striking on afternoon walks. These white oak boards with end-grain details imitate the tall, arched windows typically seen in Italianate houses. These houses transport you to the rural Italian countryside even if you’ve never been there- which is exactly what happens when you pair Sicilian lemon with basil leaf. Bella Sera!

Tudor
As the elder statesman of the Architecture Collection, Tudor style homes were popular in England hundreds of years ago during the Tudor period. When the style re-appeared in the mid-19th century, homes with high-pitched roofs, front facing gables, and leaded, diamond patterned windows appeared in small towns across America. These walnut and white oak boards replicate the diamond-shaped patterns and are instantly recognizable. When it comes to the fragrance, one signature scent immediately comes to mind - a warm cup of earl grey tea with a squeeze of lemon.
