"The dining room gives pride of place to a silkscreen of New Orleans-born gospel singer Mahalia Jackson by local artist Richard Thomas. Louis XV chairs are upholstered in a toile called Louisiana Purchase. 'Each chair depicts different iconic imagery,' says interior designer Hal Williamson, including St. Louis Cathedral, plantations, and flatboats on the river. Walls are Shantung by Martha Stewart for Sherwin-Williams."

"The living room is alluringly feminine with its subtle range of purples: amethyst, lavender, lilac, plum. Walls are Benjamin Moore's mauvey Driftscape Tan. The Louis XVI wing chairs and sofa may look formal, but the chairs 'have a wonderful pitch, so you can sit comfortably for hours,' says Williamson - 'and many naps are taken on the sofa.' The chandelier, the urns flanking the fireplace, the mirror on the mantel, and the tiered sconce were found in New Orleans antiques stores."

" 'This is their little cocoon,' says Williamson. 'Everything is silky and plush - the duvet and Euro shams and neck roll are all well-filled with goose down.' Walls are painted in Benjamin Moore's Woodlawn Blue - a cooling water color for hot, humid summers. The floral embroidered silk for the duvet and matching pillows is by G.P. and J. Baker. The photographs of tables in silhouette are by New Orleans artist David Hallliday."

"Tart green walls (Benjamin Moore's Castleton Mist) set a jovial mood in the garconniere. Louis XV chairs are covered in an African-inspired ikat print by Kravet. Williamson surprised himself by finding a rare hot pink, gold, and citrus green antique Oushak rug that pulls the room's colors together."

"Mr. Williamson is shown. He says his home is an attraction for tourists doing city tours year-round and this year, there have been more people than ever coming to look at the exterior architecture, including its cast-iron fence with a cornstalk motif. 'Everyday I walk out my door waving to people and telling them good morning,' he says."
