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.

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 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.

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.

A little peek at one of my favorite outdoor spaces, which I designed years ago. The patterned tile, navy seating, white stucco, and layers of greenery make this balcony feel like a little room all its own.
I love how much personality you can create in a small outdoor space without making it feel overcrowded.

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎
