See This Alluring Green and Pink Victorian Home in New Orleans

June 29, 2023
  • Share

Imagine fulfilling your dream of renovating a captivating Victorian Home in New Orleans. It’s a city renowned for its distinctive character. The style doesn’t have to be limited to Victorian. Any residence that exudes that unique NOLA charm is a canvas for transformation. The thrill of infusing modern elements while preserving historical allure was an irresistible challenge. I experienced this firsthand when reviving a 1930s Spanish Colonial home in Los Angeles.

Recently, my inspiration soared to new heights when I stumbled upon an Architectural Digest feature showcasing a remarkable Victorian home in New Orleans. It’s one of my favorite cities in the world. And it took me by surprise when I saw the exterior of the home was adorned in enchanting shades of pink and green. Samantha Wetton and Alexandra Neu of Lafayette Studio decided to lean into a vibrant color palette for the exterior. It’s not every day that we see a pink and green home! Join me as we embark on a virtual tour of this mesmerizing residence. The home has its own delightful carriage house—a true testament to the perfect blend of past and present.

The Vibrant Living Room Oasis

The centerpiece of this inviting space is a custom sofa, adorned in the vibrant Mali Orange Fabric by Jane Churchill, perfectly complemented by the exquisite Oberon Bullion Fringe from Samuel & Sons. Flanking the sofa, custom side tables stand as testaments to meticulous craftsmanship. Transporting you to a bygone era, the room boasts treasures steeped in antiquity. Carved Italian alabaster marble table lamps cast a soft, enchanting glow, while an alluring yellow overdyed vintage hand-knotted Oriental rug anchors the space with its timeless allure.

When History Meets Modern Charm: Restoring a Victorian Gem

Samantha Wetton and Alexandra Neu were determined to peel away the layers of unfortunate history and uncover the hidden architectural gems. The home was originally built in 1907. However, it was renovated in the ’80s and ’90s. The design duo was committed to preserving the home’s integrity.

The plumbing, wiring, and even a fire-damaged kitchen floor were among the challenges they tackled, in restoring the house’s foundations. Now the New Orleans property has a dynamic color story that represents the spirit of the historic city.

White Renovated Kitchen Design: The Heart of the NOLA Home Remodel

Finding the balance between old vs new is no easy task in a kitchen design. The most important room in any home remodel is the kitchen. This NOLA kitchen features a bespoke custom island with rattan and iron bar stools. It’s one of the few rooms in the home that has a neutral color palette. For a modern twist, the design team added oversized pendant glass lamps. The stove is part of the La Canche Classique Collection. Summerby Chintz by Colefax.

I’m always a fan of Toile walls. The room has so many intricate details and textures including Isabelle Floral Toile wallpaper by Thibaut. The drapes and headboard are by Pindler. The pendant light adds an ethereal elegance to the space.

The Enchanting Primary Bathroom

The renovated primary bathroom is a harmonious blend of old-world charm and refined sophistication. My eyes are immediately drawn to the two antique Louis XV–style dressers. They have been repurposed into vanities. Such a clever way to repurpose antique furniture. A vintage 1950s chandelier by J.T. Kalmar dangles gracefully from above, creating an atmosphere of refined luxury. in the bathroom.

The Charming Carriage House

The carriage house is just as charming as the main house. Chip Martinson created the bespoke island to create an elegant feel to the space. The matte black backless stools add a nice contrast.

The Victorian Exterior

For those wondering about the exterior, the pink and green charming color palette is Farrow & Ball Setting Plaster No.231 with trim in Benjamin Moore Galapagos Green. The shutters are painted Jade Romanesque 476 by Benjamine Moore.

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
