This Freret neighborhood home combined two buildings to blend indoor and outdoor living (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over 300 years, many a New Orleans house has been divided, subdivided, added onto and conjoined with others to create a constantly changing kaleidoscope of neighborhood blocks. Such is the case in the Freret areaâs hodgepodge of shotgun houses, Creole cottages and bungalows. The home that Matt and Virginia Candler bought there in 2019 was originally two homes built at two separate times, then joined together by a previous homeowner. The resulting space attracted the Candlers and their three ch
This midcentury modern home in New Orleans’ Lakeview honors original owners through transformation (opens the original)

I get these quick little recharge experiences before I walk downstairs to start my workday,â Landry said. The classically trained chef is also co-owner of QED Hospitality, a restaurant management group that specializes in food and beverage operations for boutique hot
Skip the grueling renovation. A Marrero company can refinish your bathroom or kitchen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I think it is safe to assume (and yes, I know the rules about assumptions) that no one likes a grimy bathroom. As one of the most frequented rooms in our homes â not just by the homeâs occupants but also guests â our bathrooms see a lot of action. After a while, it shows through chipped and discolored fixtures, grout that no amount of cleaning can fix and moldy, discolored sealant.
