How wonderful it is to have each and every one of you here on the blog today. How are you feeling? It still feels very cold and we’re having so much snow this winter, and I have to be honest with you, I feel happier when the sun is shinning out there. Grey days are not fun and not very good for our mood, right? That’s why I feel that sharing homes that are not only beautiful, but also “feel” good, can lift our spirit and bring us some inspiration. With every post I prepare for you guys, I am always hoping that you will have a good time and feel a little happier in this place. That’s always my priority.
Now, can we talk about this new house tour? 🙂 I am really excited to feature this “Southern Louisiana meets Mediterranean” custom build home and the designer is sharing all of the details below. Keep reading!
“Call it an empty-nester opportunity. With their twin boys grown and gone and their daughter just off to college, a couple went searching for an expanse of land in Texas where they could build the home they’d always wanted–and house their horses as well. While the couple enlisted architect Clay Nelson to devise plans for a Tuscan-style farmhouse with an open plan and spacious outdoor living areas, they approached designer Traci Connell with a somewhat different request: The Louisiana natives wanted the interiors to celebrate their Southern roots. “That struck a chord with me,” Connell says. “My daughter was born in southern Louisiana. I had this connection to the feeling they wanted–that Creole originality and uniqueness.” Connell selected finishes that refer back to her clients’ childhood homes — whitewashed brick in the breakfast area, wrought-iron balusters on the stairs — while she incorporated their objects and heirlooms into the design. “The house is grounded,” the wife says. “In every room, there’s a touch of something from a family member or from Louisiana.” Connell had a slightly different focus in the nearby barn, which also includes the husband’s office. “This was his escape,” she explains. The barn was such a hit that it’s become a favorite gathering place for friends and family as well.”

Built on rural farmland in the Dallas suburb of Bartonville, Texas, this Southern Louisiana-inspired Mediterranean home took a big page out of A. Hays Town’s architectural book.
With custom details that could be found in the old Creole houses of New Orleans, this empty-nesters dream home was that of a personal mix of styles with comfortable high-end taste.

“We incorporated a lot of where we came from, so the house feels grounded,” the wife says. “In every room, there’s a touch of something from a family member or from our home state.”
Nearby, the working and butler’s pantries are illuminated by pendant lights from the church where the couple married in Baldwin, Louisiana. “The couple also have a love of the ocean and water,” Connell says, “so we brought in blues and greens alongside the soft neutrals.”
