Autumn is slowly settling in, as the days grow shorter and we all start to look forward to cooler air, fall festivities and (later in the calendar year) the holiday season nearly on the precipice. It’s a great time to relax before the cacophony of those celebrations; a time to enjoy throwing open your windows and sipping drinks on the porch with friends and family.
This issue we have two great examples of homes that embrace celebration — celebrations of design, color and thoughtful detail.
Our “New Build of the Year” was designed with a growing family in mind. A seamless collaboration between the homeowners, architect, contractor and interior designers sealed the deal on this striking home with plenty of detail and room to flourish for years to come.
A color-filled condo renovation that reflects the owners’ love of art, travel, family gatherings and celebrations explores what is possible when you keep an open mind to design. It’s a space right at home in a city that loves to gather and revel in brightness and boldness of flavor.
This issue we also pay tribute to five Design Masters whose work has helped to define New Orleans style. Each has dedicated years to crafting work that endures trends, embraces tradition and adorns interiors across the city with classic style. We are excited to highlight their work and are excited to see what’s next.
As always, we have plenty of ways to enjoy the season, from jewel-toned color palettes and cozy recipes to share with family and friends.
Breathe deep, readers, and take a moment to enjoy the quiet blessings of fall.
