House Tour: In New Orleans with Colleen Waguespack

Leave it to a true New Orleans native to create magic in a historic New Orleans home.

Colleen Waguespack of Colleen Waguespack Interiors reimagined this gem, built in 1868, filled with historic charm, for a modern family’s needs.

One of the “Seven Sisters” designed by architect Henry Howard, Waguespack used the shotgun-style design to her advantage creating a true showplace.

Bold, modern art, comfy seating,

And cozy nooks for reading and resting,

Define this light, bright home that is filled with beautiful, unique spaces.

A cozy and charming kitchen comes to life with form and function,

A mix of old and new creates a dining room perfect for guests–

With a touch of whimsy.

One of our favorite things about Waguespack’s designs is that she isn’t afraid of color.

Bold hues,

And fun patterns mix to breathe new life into a an old home, making it fit for several centuries to come.
