Adore Holiday 2019

W hen Jane Scott and Philip Hodges moved back to New Orleans from her home state of Kentucky, it was both a homecoming and the beginning of a new chapter. With both of their children, Nalty and Talley, grown and off at school, it seemed natural to renest in the city where it all began. The couple met while attending Newcomb and Tulane, and New Orleans is where they started their family; so returning

to a place they loved suited them perfectly. After "stalking" real estate for quite some time, as Jane Scott puts it, they kept coming back to a "quirky: as in dark closed-off rooms and a cramped entryway" Greek Revival house in the Garden District. "We had to really think about how we could make it our own," she explains. And so they did. With a careful renovation and an abundance of style, it looks like their next phase is off to a great start.
