New Orleans Dream House
Continuing my obsession with all things New Orleans, (it never really subsides but has been kicked into high gear after my trip this weekend) I had to share a dreamy little shotgun that is so adorable.

Fabulously Feminine New Orleans Home
In honor of my trip to New Orleans this weekend (leaving tonight!) I thought I’d share this decadent, beautiful home of “a Southern-born media executive in New York who wears clothes with great silhouettes and really fun modern jewelry from Africa or France. She collects contemporary photographs and art. Her husband is a food and wine writer, and at the drop of a hat they’ll give a party for 60 to 70.” from House Beautiful. I’m drooling. That’s who I want to be.
The homeowner shares, “I think I dreamed the house. When you bump into something that’s in your mind’s eye, you recognize it. What’s the French term? Coup de foudre— love at first sight. The house is like a character in our lives. In New York, our home is a condo. It’s mostly where we retreat to plug in our batteries. But this is a real house, big enough to gather all our friends into, with a dining room table sturdy enough to hold a suckling pig. This is so Southern — in my walled courtyard, I have my late grandmother’s gardenias planted. We brought them over from Alabama, stem by stem, with the roots in little jars of water. To sit near them reading the newspaper in my pajamas while listening to the New Orleans soundtrack of crickets, steamboat whistles, children playing, cathedral bells, and the pie lady selling pies — it’s divine.” Divinity indeed.
Home (Dreams & Musings)
I’m house-hunting again. Robert and I are trying to find a place for June 1 and I’m getting antsy. I’m hoping for a big backyard, a front porch, a cozy kitchen and lots of closet space. We’ll see what we end up with. Here are some (dream) spaces I’m loving…I’m trying to keep in mind I’ll be living with a boy. It should be interesting. All images via decor supersite Lonny.

Our Future Home (if only in dreams)
This dreamy little site has infected me with all sorts of real estate envy, desire and full on coveting. You can see why…
Just a dreamy little villa in Siena, Tuscany. Will you be mine?

I would live here in a perfect world.
This family has managed to create my dream house, without ever having met me! Qualifier: I die for white interiors but I might tone down the crispity-crispness of the sitting room, especially. The outdoor shower sold me. Feast your eyes.

Dream House: New Orleans
One of the things I love most about New Orleans are the houses. All the homes, big or small, have their own unique flavor. I would pick up and move back in a heart beat for any of these beauties.
