One of the first things about this house that sprung to mind was New Orleans. It was the double porches and wrought iron. That impression impacted a lot of the design decisions on this house, inside and out. I’ll admit that the exterior paint isn’t generic. We tried a New Orleanian theme, Jadite Green with Daffodil trim and Haint Blue porch ceilings. (Don’t worry, the interior is more pleasing to the masses.) In the back, the rusted out second floor exterior porch was replaced and re-worked to maximize space. The existing straight staircase off the front was replaced with a spiral staircase to the side, which allowed us to fit two parking spaces in the rear, critical for occupant convenience. Changing the porch layout also allowed us to add a private patio for the first floor unit.
