Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
I’ve been busy surviving this thing called life lately, and avoiding the Realtor browse, neglecting my ritual self flagellation in the interest of sanity. Not only will I never be able to buy a house, I am no longer 100% positive I’d want to buy one in New Orleans, even […]
Denver design firm FAM Design creates a female-forward, dreamlike atmosphere at the The Frenchmen Hotel with Italian surrealist Leonor Fini as their muse. On any given day New Orleans can elicit the surreal. Just watch a cruise liner float by on the Mississippi from street level, the massive hull at […]
One morning I woke earlier than usual and couldn’t go back to sleep. I crept out of bed, got dressed and made coffee without waking my boyfriend John, though our new puppy was alert as soon as I pushed back the covers. Her eyes followed me as I left the […]
In the midst of shutdowns, Hotel One11 emerges as the French Quarterโs newest hotels in over 50 years. One of the last architectural remnants of the Louisiana Sugar and Rice Exchange, the building on the French Quarter’s riverfront stood derelict for over 30 years.

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 […]
Since I moved, I must admit I have been more focused on furnishing my new digs (it’s huge for us!) than looking at homes for sale, but I do still get around to it from time to time. It’s interesting to me that the more I browse, the more I […]
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 […]
John and I began dating exclusively way back in 2005, and though we started living together a year later, it wasn’t until 2014 that we started to celebrate Christmas. Neither of us is religious, but the holiday season was a big deal in my family. Putting up the tree and […]
