The Green Project 2831 Marais Street, New Orleans, LA 70117

"Some hard to find items can be found here... They also have great deals on doors and shutters and windows"

"Great place to scour for house and art projects. Never know what you'll find, and the staff is really helpful. Also, donate your stuff you no longer need for said house and art projects."

"This is a very important spot to know about if you own a historic home in the New Orleans area. There is a huge inventory of historic buildings in the New Orleans area which suffer due to the challenging environment of the region along with time that results in ongoing damage to different parts of these old buildings and it is hard to find replacement parts. The Green Project is essentially a graveyard of houses that have been sadly torn down and the remaining good parts salvaged which allows current homes to be repaired with the remains of destroyed ones. The biggest negative here is the sticker shock prices of many of the items as you are no longer getting good deals on many of the items which might have been much more possible right after Hurricane Katrina."

"I’ve been wanting to go to this location for at least 6 to 8 months, but due to auto immune issues and COVID, I waited. But as I walked in yesterday, I laughingly told the Customer Service rep that it was my first time, and she took the time (rare!) to explain the layout of the store & asked what I was hoping to find. As I walked around, you’ll see the treasures both architecture, creative and practical or for the DYI self-contractor because of a storm…this is your place!! There’s even a workroom available!! So…great cause, friendly customer service and a whole building for creative growth & inspiration?? What’s not to love?? Highly Recommend!!"

"This place is awesome! I feel like they really see the value in old stuff, like I do. They have buckets of nails/screws bolts that are a lil rusty b do the job for cents per pound! I left that store with a bag of nails and some painting tools for 2/3$ and was able to drop off some old lumber knowing it could be useful for somebody for a project!"
