Historic Restaurant Renovation in the French Quarter

All of our projects start with the building. We find old buildings with great bones that deserve to be preserved and reintroduced to everyone so that they may experience the history and sense of place in New Orleans. Sylvia is literally the person single most responsible for bringing them back to life with her restoration and decorative arts work. Once we have an amazing old building that we think people should experience, we create an idea for what type of restaurant would be authentic to the space. We then work with Sylvia to bring those ideas and the place to life.

Fireplace Refinish

Sylvia was very attentive to my style and wishes. She made a sample piece so I could see how it would look before she started. She was prompt and professional. Her price was reasonable.

Kitchen Renovation

We engaged Sylvia during the renovation of our kitchen. The work entailed changes to the wall colors, floor finish, counter tops, and repainting of the cabinets and island. Sylvia was instrumental in identifying the mix of colors and paint style that would complement the other aspects of our home. The overall creativity and knowledge of color matching and paint finishing were key factors in the overall success of the project. She always conducted herself very professionally and completed all work in a timely manner. Sylvia was very easy to work with both in the design and the implementation of the work. In addition, Sylvia developed a plan for repainting the wrought iron stair rail in our house. She worked to provide a truly unique product which aligns with and highlights the lighting and furniture in the foyer. Everyone who comes into our home is impressed with Sylvia’s work. We will use Sylvia again for future projects.

Kitchen Cabinet and Bar Refinishing

We recently did a small renovation which included our 22-year old kitchen cabinets and bar being refinished by Sylvia. They are our favorite part of the project. The finish is much prettier than I have seen on new factory cabinets coupled with a significant cost savings. Her work is really amazing.

Historic French Quarter Creole Cottage

The results that Sylvia and her crew created for my cottage in the French Quarter exceeded my expectations. From the consult, to the color selection and previews of samples she created, to the professional way the work itself was conducted, but mostly to the final outcome. Not only do I admire the walls every day, but the number of compliments I hear also proves that the job is fantastic. The cost was more than for some other finishes, but it seemed very reasonable for the work involved and certainly for the result, which is so beautiful!

Longway Tavern – Historic French Quarter Restaurant

Each of our projects consist of two components. The first is the preservation of the history, culture and tradition of New Orleans and the sense of place implied by these old buildings. The second is populating these buildings with a team that embodies exactly what we think the 21st century New Orleans experience should be. Sylvia allows us to do both at the same time.

We had the barstools custom made and upholstered with a custom fabric. We selected the new quartz countertop, the kitchen sink and fixtures, and the striking lighting pendants. The lights are hung from a reclaimed antique door that we restored and suspended from the high (16-foot) ceilings to give the kitchen area more intimacy. For similar reasons, we built and added an upper level of cabinets increasing their height. The cabinets were refinished and repainted in a trendy blue tone that compliments the plaster wall finish in the living room and on the bar façade. We also took the antique map and removed it’s original mounting. We gave it an antique and “floating” look by using antique brass upholstery pins.

Instagram post 17909248576343795 Here’s more form the luxury condo project we’re putting the finishing touches on just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans! This is the bedroom where we created a 2-color metallic plaster finish in the style of broken ombre. The finish really pops in the sunlight and makes the space warm and comfortable. Also, it compliments the beaded pendant lights – one of the few features held over in the unit from before the extensive remodel we delivered. More soon! . . . . . . #yourspaceasaworkofart #honoringtraditionandprogress #artisan #craftsman #craftsmanship #craftsperson #craftswoman #decorativeartist #fauxfinisher #artist #designer #interiordesigner #interiordesign #nola #neworleans #itsyournola #nolaphotoguild #iheartnola #showmeyournola #remodel #plasterfinish #metallicplaster #plaster #interiors #lighting #lightingdesign #kitchencabinets #cabinetryrefinishing #interiordécor #frenchquarter

Instagram post 17847165436574291 We’re putting the finishing touches on the major remodeling project we delivered in an 800-square foot luxury condo just outside of the French Quarter in New Orleans! Here, you can see one of the walls where we created a layered, distressed plaster finish that gives off an upbeat vibe. You can also see part of the factory finished kitchen cabinets we reworked, adding a second layer of upper-cabinets and creating a modern crown cap. We selected a great color tone for them that fits right in. Also, you can see a bit of where we refinished an old door and had it suspended from the 16-foot ceiling over the kitchen to make the area more intimate. From the door, you can see the hanging lighting pendants we selected and had installed at different heights to further the funky feel of the space! More to come on this cool project… . . . . . . #yourspaceasaworkofart #honoringtraditionandprogress #artisan #craftsman #craftsmanship #craftsperson #craftswoman #decorativeartist #fauxfinisher #artist #designer #interiordesigner #interiordesign #nola #neworleans #itsyournola #nolaphotoguild #iheartnola #showmeyournola #remodel #plasterfinish #plaster #interiors #lighting #lightingdesign #kitchencabinets #cabinetryrefinishing #interiordécor #frenchquarter

Instagram post 17846362993535072 We love turning residential spaces into works of art! On this project, a luxury condo in downtown New Orleans just outside of the French Quarter, we transformed the entire space for the owners based on their vision and how they want to enjoy its use. Here, in the foyer, we delivered a reflective metallic finish on the walls and ceiling. We also added a hand-painted classic Damask stencil to the walls. The metallic plaster finish, especially on the ceiling, mimics the feel of the sky and gives this small area a sense of greater space! Much more on this project coming soon! . . . . . . #yourspaceasaworkofart #honoringtraditionandprogress #artisan #craftsman #craftsmanship #craftsperson #craftswoman #decorativeartist #fauxfinish #fauxfinisher #artist #designer #interiordesigner #interiordesign #nola #neworleans #nolaphotoguild #iheartnola #handpainted #stencil #plasterfinish #metallicplaster #damask #plaster #plastering #decorativepaint #wallfinish #ceilingfinish #residential #remodel
