One of my favourite tours on AP in a long time. So often it feels like I'm looking at the same choices but I was excited to hit the "next" button to see what was next each time.
So well edited. It feels fresh and yet cozy. Thanks for the tour!

So refreshing to see a home that feels so *homey*. I love the uncluttered simplicity and country charm. I found myself daydreaming of visiting those rooms.

This home has all the elements that are New Orleans to me; the drapes and tassel tie back, the brass and pleated shade lamps, the brick, the high ceilings. The room is so well done! The refined luxury and history of the city come through and it makes me want to go back.

I might be worried about what kind of plumbing work might be needed to fit your finds in. Plumbing is expensive, and if you have to do extra work to make refurbished pieces fit (i.e. sometimes the holes for faucets and fixtures create refitting issues) than it may or may not be a cost savings. I would ask a Plumber first.
I think if you are worried about being a hoarder, you are not a hoarder. :-)

I think any re-use of old furniture some one was trying to get rid of is wonderful. And the finished room is beautiful, fun, and chic! Beautiful job on the whole room

I have to agree about the bar soap. No plastic, lasts longer, and can be made all natural with essential oils. I switched back a year ago- both for the shower and for hand washing. I still keep a refillable gel soap container & soap around for guests, but my friends are fine with bar soap too, so it rarely gets used

It's a beautiful outdoor table. I like it better than any glass table it had to replace.

Bethany Nauert's really stood out, but I also loved the lighting and composition of Lilias Petit-Scott's photo.

I once complained to a friend that I was so poor that I couldn't eat healthy foods anymore, and she flat out laughed at me. Five years later, and some learning about what healthy food is, I now spend 1/8th of the cost on food as I did in the past and eat a very healthy and tasty diet. Fresh produce, dried beans, and brown rice are some of the cheapest things you can buy.
I feel only people who feel a sense of lack, and live in a state of fear would need to hoard processed foods, or to feel a sense of security about having enough and being fed.
The practicality of it is ridiculous.

I think distressed wall can work, but you need a sharper juxtapose with some "new". 1 out of 4 walls only, or pristine floors and modern windows. In New Orleans alot of the old and interesting walls are covered with a sealant so you can see the history, but are also able to wash it clean.

There were so many details that make it polished. I really liked the window treatments in the bathroom. This smaller space feels so luxurious and glamorous. Beautiful.
Corina should do this for a living!
