House Proud: Unique Home Design, Louisiana
Valerie Hart
Experience the joy of decor and design, restoration and rebirth, colour and comfort within the enchanting locale of Louisiana. A New Orleans-based interior designer, Valorie Hart expertly leads a private tour of the most fashionable homes in the state. Sara Essex Bradley’s photographs document the personality of Louisiana’s homes, from the formal Greek revival house to the warm Creole cottage, the pre-Civil war beauty to the kitschy 50s-style ranch, the grand Victorian to the modern urban loft. This is not simply a design inspiration book, but rather a thoughtful compilation of homeowners’ personal stories of restoring and redesigning their dream houses - the stories of the house-proud.
In addition to Debra Shriver’s foreword, Hart gives her creative expertise on repurposing furniture, displaying art collections, creating extra rooms, and rethinking storage. Hart presents us with today’s Louisiana homes: the feel of southern hospitality married with a look of contemporary chic. AUTHOR: Valorie Hart is an experienced interior designer and decorator and writes for the popular design blog The Visual Vamp. Hart’s writings have also appeared in New Orleans Homes and Lifestyles, GO NOLA, and House of Fifty Ideas for Inspired Living. She considers herself a New New - a New Yorker transplanted in New Orleans - and lives in a restored antique shotgun house in New Orleans’ Irish Channel neighbourhood with her husband, Alberto.
