Adore October 2021

I've long admired Penny's work and although each project is so vastly different from the next, I have noted some of her signature concepts executed flawlessly. Wallpaper — no one does it better. In addition to adding depth and pattern, her delightful choices deliver so much artful personality to each room. The powder room paper with little pink ribbon and bows (her exclusive design) is a cheeky nod to the home's French Quarter location and I'm in love with the dining room monkeys; I bet the children in this family are too. Lighting — functional and necessary, but Penny seizes it as a major decorative opportunity. Each fixture, whether through shape, material, or color, is a gutsy selection that moves the design scheme forward. Many of the things in this alluring home — rugs, lighting, textiles, accents — can be found at her beautiful shop on Oak Street. I'm happy to see that this stunning property is alive and well after centuries of loving use. Here's to decades more history and memories.
