Adore May 2021

Just outside the ballroom sits the wine room with an extensive cellar and custom chef's gallery, complete with an artisanal terrazzo floor by Terrazzo Masters with an intricate Greek key border and inset banding. Influenced by the distinctive fronds on Canal Street, custom handcrafted plaster palm trees appear on the deep terracotta walls. Each was created by Jeff Porée Plastering, a fifth-generation plasterer, and sculpted by in-house artists Christopher Caravella Jones and Edy Ramos. Another local artist, Kaki Foley of Tattered Design Atelièr, applied faux marble detailing in the room and painted inset paneling. The craftsmanship continues even in the restrooms where Stafford Tile & Stone sourced hand molded "koi" fish scale tiles. The color palette — subtle taupes and pinks — was derived directly from brick dust found on-site during the renovation. Sprezzatura was indeed achieved with the expertise and skill of remarkable New Orleans talent. As Eugenie and Sweet so perfectly explain, "Galerie de Galatoire is a symphony and celebration of these local master craftsmen."
