Description

Bohemian Soul: The Vanishing Interiors of New Orleans explores the distinctive homes, artistic spirit, and cultural character of old New Orleans. The book celebrates interiors that reflect individuality, history, creativity, and a deep connection to place rather than modern uniform design.

Through photographs and stories of historic residences, the book presents spaces filled with antique furnishings, inherited objects, handmade details, vibrant colors, and layers of personal history. The featured homes range from elegant Garden District cottages to historic Creole residences, showing how architecture and interior design preserve the memories and personalities of the people who live within them.

The introduction invites readers to appreciate the bohemian character of New Orleans—a style shaped by artists, travelers, collectors, musicians, and free spirits who embrace beauty in imperfection. It serves as both a visual celebration and a reflection on a disappearing way of life, encouraging the preservation of creativity, heritage, and authentic personal expression in interior spaces.
