Spring is a time of renewal, refreshing and doing all those tasks that have been put off during the dark days of winter. Sometimes that means adding in some fresh linens, some bright colors or changing out rugs or throw pillows. Sometimes, it’s not that simple.
For our “Renovation of the Year,” the homeowners of an apartment in a historic St. Charles Avenue building decided to start from scratch with the help of Leslie Newman of Space Interior Design to create a calm, reflective space to showcase their carefully curated art collection and to better reflect their own personalities. The results, we think, are stunning.
We also take a peek at a glorious condo located at the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences. Helmed by Penny D. Francis, principal designer and owner at Eclectic Home, the team worked to incorporate the joie de vivre of New Orleans into the home’s aesthetic. Color, pattern and play all work together to create a chic escape with lots of personal touches.
Spring is also our chance to highlight some of the best examples of innovation and design in the kitchen. Whether your focus is on entertaining, incorporating all the gourmet bells and whistles, or creating a family friendly space for weeknight dining (and perhaps doing homework), we have something to inspire you.
As always, we have the latest in décor, style, gardening, home organization and much more to get you ready for spring. As Dolly once said, “If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with a little rain.” It’s time to get to work, sweep out the old, bring in fresh linens and add pops of color to welcome the sun… and the rainbows.
