Autumn is my favorite season. The temperatures start to dip. The light is softer. The air is fresher as humidity wanes. It’s a great time to plan outdoor get-togethers, enjoy some tailgating, dine al fresco, put away the swim gear and sweep out the sands of summer. It’s a transitional time between the scorching dog days to the coming rain and cold of winter.
This issue we celebrate some of those new beginnings with our annual New Build of the Year feature. This year’s light-filled home combines sleek sophistication with state-of-the-art, clean details for a winning combination that says, “Welcome home.”
We also highlight an elegant French Quarter apartment with plenty of touches of global style and luxurious design accents throughout. It’s truly a place anyone would be delighted to return to after a long journey.
Each year, we celebrate some of the city’s top Design Masters, each of whom are innovating design, décor, architecture and style in new way, as well as our Best of Home winners and finalists, voted on by you.
Plus, plenty of cozy chic design, a DIY backyard movie night, and fall style highlights to get you in the mood for autumn.
We invite you to take time to get cozy, relax and enjoy this respite before the big holiday season ahead.
