A little Southern Charm to put you in good spirits. This is the New Orleans home of decorator Vesta Fort featured in May '06 Domino issue. A place so full of color, texture and life...if this is the Southern way then I'm packing my bags right now. An infatuation I couldn't hold in the vault of inspiration any longer...in hopes that only you feel the same way.
A sitting room that actually welcomes visitors to take a seat, mixed with period antiques and affordable pieces...
In my dreams this how I envision a porch to be, the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor...
The striped walls make such a bold statement...and if you try to envision the kitchen without it, well then it's not right!
Looking at this image, I want nothing more in life, than to have such lush pink draperies flanking my windows and doorways in my Master Bedroom...
Elsie de Wolfe inspired, this Dressing Room/Office is covered in, none other than, Home Depot lattice...
Fit for a little king, this boy's room blends so well all the various prints: Cowboy, Zebra, and Mod like duvet from Jonathan Adler...

I think This is the real southern touch . it looks like the kind of decoration we use it in the south of France . I think it is the southern international spirit !!
I love it
Wow--I missed this spread in Domino. I love her take on southern style. She reminds me a bit like fellow southerner, John Oetgen in her use of color and creativity. Great post!
I think your right Melanie! Southern international...I love it :) Thanks for the comment, oh and I linked you up to my blog too.

I love that you shared the whole home, and great commentary by the way. That yellow in the living room is still so lovely to me.
