House of the Week: Comparison Shopping

February 17, 2022 No Comments

While undergoing my weekly self-flagellation, I was narrowing down which listing I wanted to share with you and inadvertently wound up with two options in roughly the same price bracket. Both locations are attractive in their own way, and I know which I would choose, but I am curious about […]

House of the Week: Craftsman Double on Elmira Avenue

December 9, 2021 No Comments

Since my whole life is on da Point these days, I thought I’d take a peek at homes for sale in the neighborhood. Now, I didn’t expect to find much considering Algiers Point is a tiny area to peruse, but I did find something I thought was interesting. If there’s […]

House of the Week: Victorian Gothic in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

September 1, 2021 No Comments

For the first time since the levees failed in 2005, John and I decided to evacuate. After sticking it out through other hurricanes, we thought it would be nice to avoid a week (or weeks) without power, and more specifically air conditioning, in the depths of a sweltering New Orleans […]

House of the Week: Victorian on Annunciation Street

August 12, 2021 No Comments

I’ve been browsing real estate sites for several days now and nothing sincerely piqued my interest until now. Tucked away in the Lower Garden District is this 130-year-old Victorian townhouse on Annunciation Street, an adorable little building squashed between two much larger structures. Respectfully renovated about 4 years ago, the […]

House of the Week: “Luxury Home” on Prytania Street

July 15, 2021 No Comments

Sometimes, I’ll be sitting on the stoop of my apartment building waiting on a friend, or a Lyft, and I will frequently see tourists taking pictures of the mansion across the street and it makes me shake my head. Why? Because, not including my ghastly building and the one behind […]

House of the Week: Double Shotgun on S. Scott Street

June 30, 2021 No Comments

Before you even think it, I know this place would likely require a lot of work to get it as shiny as it could be, but once again, there’s so much potential! Located less than a block from Mona’s, this Mid-City, two-story Craftsman-like double is nothing if not hyphenated. All […]

House of the Week: Craftsman-inspired cottage on Belleville Street

June 18, 2021 No Comments

It’s all too easy to find a gorgeous mansion on Realtor.com to ooh and aah about on my blog, there are so many! But today I felt like a challenge. I wanted to find a house in my price range that I could get excited about. Lo and behold, after […]

House of the Week: Arts & Crafts on N. Dupre Street

June 4, 2021 No Comments

I’m not a heavy fester, I’ve only been to Jazzfest three or four times since moving to this city, but there are still plenty of wonderful reasons to live near the fairgrounds. Like the Garden District there’s a ton of greenspace, lots of parks (both big and small), beautiful trees, […]

House of the Week: Mid-Century Modern on Dominican Street

May 19, 2021 No Comments

While I am passionate about really old houses, especially over a century old, that doesn’t mean I don’t have great appreciation for more modern styles. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, mid-century modern homes are far from “new.” Regardless, it’s not my style, but it still can […]

House of the Week: Victorian on Caffin Avenue

April 13, 2021 No Comments

Location, location, location! For those who pay attention to real estate, that saying is all too true no matter where you live. It’s always interesting to me how if you took a house, regardless of type, and plunked it in a different location that it would double (if not triple) […]

Though she was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kim Ranjbar felt New Orleans calling her home as soon as she hit puberty. A graduate of granola U (a.k.a. Sonoma State University) with a BA in English and a concentration in Creative Writing, Kim took her passion for the written word and dragged it over 2000 miles to flourish in the city she loves.

After over seventeen years as a transplant — surviving hurricanes, levee failures, oil spills, boil water advisories and hipster invasions — Kim hopes to eventually earn the status of local and be welcomed into the fold.
