Houzz Tour: New Orleans Glamour

newmouse This home is beautiful. It's easy for me to say, but I think it was worth Jason Nixon's 5 pounds.

lynnaep Love! I just came back from New Orleans and was dying for a peek behind the shutters of one of those old French Quarter homes. Thank you!

balmer Yes, this is beautifully done. But since the stated purpose of the move was to "make a difference in post-Katrina New Orleans", one might wonder exactly what the difference was and how much more of it they could have done if they were less concerned about their custom house.

luckiegrrl GORGEOUS. I just love it!

hcutie4 I love this house!! Well done.

bepsf Beautiful home - I love traditional interiors with a twist.
There's very little that I would change before moving right in...

kandy smith Lovely home.
I wish there had been a picture of the kitchen too.

eyeseepretty Gorgeous home! I love all of the architectural period details mixed with modern decor. Fabulous!

kristinaz Very nice, really beautiful. I lived in Louisiana for a few years, and love the Quarter. Seems like this couple would've made a bigger "difference" if they'd used a New Orleans design firm. . . New Orleans is different from New York, after all.

Amanda Robinson I don't usually comment but had to for this house.
Truly stunning - the decor is similar to many high-end homes I see in London, France & Italy.
Well done.

JOE WEBER Super job. great colors and decor. We have family in NAWLINS' and just love your city. Enjoy your home

amleman What a beautiful home!! I love those vintage blue chairs!!

near north interiors wow, this home is absolutely gorgeous. thanks for sharing!

lara_jane Wallpaper is TDF!

I agree that they should've used a NO-based firm, though.

Janice Brown As a native New Orleanian who is still displaced from New Orleans as a result of Katrina, I have to agree with Balmers' comment. While I love the architecture of my city, this remodel did not contribute anything to post-Katrina New Orleans!

kbumgar Beautiful home! Love the custom upholstered furniture. The peacock freaks me out though...

kerryevensong Wow. Now THAT is beautiful.

gigibang Beautiful! I love this designe.

Lorraine Lawson Fine Arts Beautiful! Do they have any memories of Manhattan?

Sondra Metzger done with impecible taste. their use of fabrics is perfect. gorgeous, easy to live in home.

lanasappa Inspirational from every nook and cranny. I'll be keeping this whole article as great use of color, niche collectibles and classic pieces.

storklady I'm a NOLA native and while this is truly a beautiful interior, it's a whole lot more New York than it is New Orleans. We all know it's in New Orleans, but it would have to be more eclectic and colorful to claim a real nod to the city. I also agree a New Orleans firm should have been used. Someone above said they wanted peak behind the shutters and see a New Orleans residence...but this one doesn't give you a real view of a typical New Orleans home.

Annie Thornton I absolutely love the pink front door. I think it's great that the exterior doesn't completely reveal the interior design. beauty!

sethson I agree with many of the comments above regarding the New York vs. New Orleans design firm; however, a review of the initial comments by Ms. Brunner clearly states that the owners wanted to fuse the two styles and not necessarily just reflect New Orleans style. I personally wish they would have chosen New Orleans style completely, however, because, while vernacular is not always the best choice in design, I think in this case where you have a unique design and architectural aesthetic in New Orleans, one would want to run with that. Also, since it's not clear in what way the owners of the house wanted to make a difference in New Orleans, perhaps we shouldn't assume that they're not doing something else to help. Perhaps they've begun a business or are helping others rebuild. In any event, a beautiful design.

nomadluxuries This home is utterly decadent and just fabulous!

Tiare Noelani Cowan, CKD, Allied ASID Nicely Done, i like everything about it.

chad68164 Definately not my taste that's for sure! The chandeliers and the original items like the fireplaces and woodwork were fine. I just don't like that type of furniture in a classic, traditional, historic type home. Seeing this home furnished like that just ruined the whole house for me.

einola yeh you right stethson!

Niki Papadopoulos Any idea on who some of the artwork is by--specifically the piece above the sofa in the formal living room?

Madcap Cottage I designed the house and spend 3 months each year in New Orleans in a garconniere on Chartres Street, so don't write us off. Jason Oliver Nixon

CAROLE MEYER The home is beautiful and so well done....I especially love the use of more contemporary artwork! Beautiful! Carole www.carolemeyerart.com

dilani the home is really nice................but the stuffed peacock is so horrible.why keep a dead animal in the house and encourage others to do so???????

Becky Harris "This is a home where you can kick back with dirty martinis over a spirited rubber of bridge, or couch out in PJs in the comfy master bedroom and watch a marathon of 'The Real Housewives of New York,'" I'll take the dirty martini, the PJs and the RH, and I can't think of a better place to do so. Jason sounds like the perfect person to do that with as well! Truly stunning.

I believe that living in a community and embracing it, becoming part of it, and of course, spending your money to support local artists, groceries, restaurants, shops, services, Tipitinas, contractors etc. and paying taxes is supporting that city.

Becky Harris OK, and this is the funniest thing I've ever read on Houzz:

"I just want to move into this living room, kick back Sazerac cocktails, and send drunken tweets while shopping Kenny Jane Lane on QVC," Note to self: Follow this person on Twitter immediately!

acorkery Beautifully done!

fredericklc Don't hate on the peacock. It's AWESOME!!!
