Orange Spice

Today is the first day of fall, so I am thinking about the color orange. Orange leaves. Orange pumpkins. Rooms with a bit of orange spice . ...

New Orleans Style

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of my favorite design photos depict homes in New Orleans, a unique city whose rich heritage has been shaped by both French and African cultures. The interiors I share today are beautiful, but the formal elements are balanced with comfort. The rooms are unabashedly feminine, but nothing is too precious. Silk draperies pool on the floor next to chipped antiques that celebrate their age. Contemporary chandeliers sparkle above faded tapestries. Art and fabrics subtly tell the story of a city that is full of spirit.   </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib3IZWJu-tdtChGzsGY58d3FEJ_PWfftfCMFVfTG8wVfI3wFgRL2UTldDn5BLtQaxum9e1GG4xCa7bHBBwmIE2PMbz7uQ279pwnmoEMCoZLvVP6nX_Igc4l5nqRQuzyTLQQN-1oOQD4wU/s1600/1-frenchlasts-diningroom-0108-xlg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib3IZWJu-tdtChGzsGY58d3FEJ_PWfftfCMFVfTG8wVfI3wFgRL2UTldDn5BLtQaxum9e1GG4xCa7bHBBwmIE2PMbz7uQ279pwnmoEMCoZLvVP6nX_Igc4l5nqRQuzyTLQQN-1oOQD4wU/s640/1-frenchlasts-diningroom-0108-xlg.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the dining room, "a French neoclassical-style dining table, circa 1800, wears its original paint. . . .
