Spring is here and it’s time to freshen up our décor, sweep out the winter cobwebs and bring in the light just in time for the warmer weather. Many of us use this time to swap out our linens and pillows, opting for a brighter color palette and warmer weather fabrics.
For our Renovation of the Year, the homeowners of a Garden District house needed to do much more than a spring facelift. The project needed rethinking, reconfiguring and reconstructing it to its original glory. The reno also included loving details that would make it friendly and homey for modern living. It was a true labor of love, with classic design and attention to detail that made it an easy choice for our cover.
We also have a gorgeous, historic condo project located Uptown at St. Elizabeth’s that is both contemporary, but also classic. The four-story unit is now a gathering space for a family, with room for everyone’s needs. Details and design make this a truly cozy home for friends and family.
Our annual spring kitchen design feature highlights some of our favorite projects in a variety of styles, sizes and color. Each embodies both the ideas of form and function, with dreamy designs for cooking, gathering and entertaining.
Whether you are busy spring cleaning, planning ahead for get-togethers or getting ideas for gardens and outdoor spaces, we have resources to inspire and educate throughout this issue, from recipes to style, organizing and trend watching.
Happy spring! It’s the perfect time to fling open your doors and take advantage of your front porch, backyard, patio or balcony, invite a few friends or family members over to help in the kitchen and relax while the sun is shining, and the days aren’t too hot. Enjoy!
