Spring is one of the best seasons of the year in New Orleans. It’s a time when we can fling open our doors and windows, pull the outdoor furniture into the sun and enjoy the prolific riot color of our native plants and birds, on their way home from wintering south of the border. It’s a time for dining al fresco, freshening up the linens and enjoying the thermostat set at a gentle pace. Similarly, our spring issue is a celebration of new beginnings and fresh starts.
Our Renovation of the Year is a midcentury modern refresh with a focus on preserving the character of the home while making it function for today. It’s a refresher that goes beyond just paint and finishes, reworking the interior for a multigenerational family that loves to entertain throughout the year.
We also feature a townhouse-inspired home with bright design touches for a busy family with plenty of room to grow. Scandinavian design elements and careful planning bring this new build together for the perfect place for this family to call home.
Finally, we showcase the heart of many homes, the kitchen. In our house, no matter the occasion it seems we always end up gathering in the kitchen. Whether it is a glorious, quiet solo cup of coffee first thing on a Sunday morning, kids cooking up a new popular online cooking hack, or a group of friends gathering for wine and cheese, the kitchen is always the center of attention. In our annual spring kitchen design roundup, we have several innovative examples of style, form and function that will inspire your own renovation, décor mix-up or transformation to make it your home’s main attraction.
Plus, we have our usual suspects in the works (as well as a new one) to bring you the latest design news, color inspiration, art, décor and much more to usher in the brightest season of the year.
