The Madcap Cottage gents designed a wonderful, historic shotgun-style cottage in the heart of New Orleans’ magical French Quarter for a recent Manhattan transplant. The goal was to create a soothing, elegant sanctuary that would be the perfect retreat, as well as serve as an ideal spot for entertaining. Colors are cool and sparkling, and modern art takes center stage throughout the home. Custom Gracie Wallpaper anchors the living room and dining room, and vintage pieces culled from auction and the Crescent City’s many stellar vintage outposts add layering and dimension to the home. Bespoke details pull the whole home together. Who wants to walk into a home that looks like a showroom or a catalogue?
