Ten years ago I painted my living room/dining room Apple Green by Benjamin Moore, a similar color to the above green. Designers back then were saying you should never use bright colors in the living room but I went ahead and used it anyway. I loved it, and have kept it ever since.
Thankfully there’s color, today everything is white and chicken wire. I’m a lover of color, having color causes your eye to roam, seeing different things. My husband was born in New Orleans and all of his siblings are still there so it’s a treat to see these homes!
"Appreciate what you love, and don't worry about what everyone else thinks". a good thing with this home is that it's different, but not weird. The green room was amazing.
Love her home! Gorgeous style. I love how she said as you get more confident you care less of what others like and just decorate with what you like! I love the mix of colors, textures, wall papers, very well done. It’s not easy to mix all of these things and execute it well. Great job 👍🏽🤗💕
Fun and beautiful. Really creative and different. Love ALL THE LINEN. Thank you for sharing your home. Only in New Orleans will you find the greatest individual creativity. 🌿🕊🇺🇸
OMG, just seeing this video (watched it 3tx in a row already lol) Too many elements of excitement to mention in this beautifully decorated home. I especially love how Jane Scott Hodges mixed periods/styles to make this Old colonial home connect with guests today. Her decision to incorporate lots of modern art into these traditional spaces is wonderful. Plus, all the custom linens... drop dead gorgeous stuff. FANTASTIC.
Love the courtyard area. Loved the napkins and place mats. Loved the bedding. Loved the blue sofa and the table with the orange chairs. So cute. Loved the lady's dress.
Those are definitely some bold color choices. Makes me appreciate that there is something for everyone in the world of decor and varying tastes. I love all the beautiful monograms and gorgeous linens. What a fun business!
I grew up in the South (Texas) and my family are all from (Louisiana), but I'm thinking it would take a lot more than strong Southern sun to tone down some of those very bold color choices. Those green walls are seriously beyond bold! But that's perfectly okay! To each his own. Bold colors just don't comfort me like softer, more muted colors and tones. Her kitchen is definitely more to my taste. We're all different and we all have different preferences. And the beauty of design is we can all have whatever makes us happy and comfortable! Just because I don't personally want something, doesn't mean I can't appreciate it... or even not appreciate it. No harm either way.
Susanna you are the sweet person & perfect personality to walk through all these beautiful & interesting places we would never get entrance to!!! So enjoy your Questions & Insight to the homeowners. U R simply terrific 🤗❣️🎼🎹🎶
Loved this tour and home!!! I loved hearing her talk!!! While I’m fifth of six generations from Baton Rouge, I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky (hubby’s from Louisiana, as well!!). There’s so much to love about this home and its style!!! Thank you for another wonderful, guided tour!!! ❤️
Jane Scott Hodges, marvelous! Here's my across the board comment: I love, love, love these vignettes! I have my morning coffee from a French press, croissant and Quintessence! And Susanna, you're a gracious host.
I LOVE this woman's perspective. Love her use of white! Love her sense of humour in decorating, and love it in her approach to monograms. Such a fresh take on something we've all seen a million times before.
The double salon's lacquered walls immediately reminded me of Jamie Drake. I love how it morphs according to the amount of light (1:04 and 1:07), it transitions from a dark lime to a brighter hue. And those monograms are simply exquisite.
Ohhhhhhhh Jane !!!!! Just received my new issue of Veranda with your bedroom redo. I think I’m in HEAVEN. THANK YOU, darling, for the feast for my eyes & soul. You are a kind woman to share !!!! ( Stacy : please get Jane this message & it’s time for a revisit !!!!!! ) kisses 😘 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Dear Miss Hodges, love your beautiful home but you can't buy love anything in New Orleans. As I was watching this blog of this epitome of the South I could imagine waking up as a guess having eggs benedict, shrimp and grits, and coffee then a little later on mimosas. Everything in your home is exquisite. Thank you for sharing it. A Texas Fan
I think Blanche DuBois might like living here!---I had a hunch the big room downstairs had started out as two rooms: the front and back parlors.---It would be fun to have a monogram. I would have mine on stationery and bookmarks and, being a card player, on a decks of cards. Non-essential but fun!
I absolutely love this channel and the incredibly creative people and homes you visit. My only (with love) critique would be - the sound. Mic’s would bring the sound to the level everything else nests at - which is sublime. All the best.
The artist who did the butterfly painting, Hunt Slonem, owns Albania, the plantation my mother's family owned since before America was America. I've been there. It is VERY crowded with furniture and art. It was very cool to see portraits of my ancestors there. My mom spent time with her great grandmother there.
Everything I could find says that the plantation was established by Charles Grevemberg, who wasn't born until 1797. The current plantation house dates to the 1840s or 1850s.
I love them but I was raised by a mom who collected embroidery machines. Our horse blankets, saddle pads and finger towels all got monograms! Hint: use a poly thread if you want to be able to bleach those linens.
Does anyone know what paint color and brand is?! I've been looking for this exact shade of chartreuse!! I'm very particular Amanda Nisbett did a room in a similar shade of BM "jalapeno pepper" is this possibly the same shade? If so I'll be running down to get it in the am!
Watching this for the third or fourth time. I blame quarantine. But who can help me identify the amber goblets Jane used in the still photos with the Derby Old Imari? Any tabletop lover that can help cure my obsession? Haha. They're pictured but not mentioned in her book.

What a Beautiful House💜
"Appreciate what you love, and don't worry about what everyone else thinks".... BRAVO!
Yeah but I just can't imagine how the hard work that his woman put to do the housekeeping...
When the just 'right' color comes along, the room knows it and can't help but be a strutting show-off! That shade of green is sublime and gutsy!
Olivia Casino Totally agree! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you team Quintessence, Stacey and Susanna, for taking us to interesting places!

Elegant and classy home. Gorgeous blend of old and new.

So happy to hear that!
What a beautifully decorated home! Outstanding!!
I love all her unusual and simply stunning choices! She is also wearing a lovely shift in a gorgeous colour! Enjoyed this visit to a wonderful home!

New Orleans still has some very beautiful places. Beautiful!

EEN63 the light in the south is strong- it tones it down- believe me.

@@EEN63 Exactly!! Thank you!
What a lovely house! Everything perfect!!!
Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous!!!! So glad you are coming south !
Thank you - more coming from the south in March 2018!
Susanna you are the sweet person & perfect personality to walk through all these beautiful & interesting places we would never get entrance to!!! So enjoy your Questions & Insight to the homeowners. U R simply terrific 🤗❣️🎼🎹🎶
So glad you enjoy - Susanna is an enthusiastic and perceptive host - lucky to have her as my video partner! - Stacey (behind the camera and the blog)
When monogramming was all the rage in the early 80s I refused to do it. Now I get monogramming on lots of things & love it.

Exactly!! Jane Scott is talented and fun with great taste!
I love the bold colors and artwork...Beautiful home!!!
Nice greens inside and out. Lovely patio with white cushions.
Incredible color sense! Stunning shade of green.
Yes!! So fabulous!
I loved seeing the beautiful Herend china! Such a lovely mix of old and new throughout this home.
Renee Zarate Yes, Jane’s home and company both represent a great mix!
Comfortable elegance with gorgeous textiles!
Agreed!

It's so refreshing to see people that aren't afraid of color in their homes. There's too much beige, white and grey in interior design.
Couldn't agree more - we love color too!!
I still have the House Beautiful this New Orleans house is featured in because, I love it!❤️
J. Peluso Yes, so good! Jane Scott is fearless!
I love these videos! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoy!

Monograms are SO southern. ❤️ My Charleston upbringing just melts for a good monogram. ❤️
The window/doors are brilliant!
So chic an very graceful another wonderful home to peek around
Thank you!! Love how fearless Jane Scott was with her choices!
Such a vibrant, cheerful home! Love it! Thank you for sharing!😊
Rosemary Bloom So glad you enjoyed!

The last linen with yellow stitching! So happy!
I love the wood floor in the kitchen. I wonder how they got it to that light color. Nice.
Jane's home made me happy...All smiles!
Beautiful home definitely million dollar status. Would’ve loved to see the exposed brick fireplaces
Late to the party, I know, but I just love that gorgeous, glossy green! Also the Wirehaired Pointing Griffons!!!
We love both those things too!
Man does the sound ever carry in that house. Beautiful though, especially the green in the living room
so colorful and happy bring a positive energy
Hananmkp Yes!
Thank you for sharing this amazing home!
Our pleasure!
oh those curtains, LOVE THEM!!!
Wow, love the green walls!
I love watching your videos.
Glad you like them!

“Such a traditionalist but yet not” oh I relate so much💕💕 I saw a comment I left 4-5 years ago..can’t help but come back💕
You're welcome back any time!!
I love your place mat and all your color New Orleans
This home is an inspiration and your channel is a treat. Thank you.
Thank you so much!

Fresh and very exciting!
Elegant Home ! Very beautifule ! Thenk you of video !

Beautiful home!!!
Amazing I had that same precise wall color !!!.
Just the bessst show 🥂🥂🥂
We missed a great opportunity to view a wonderful *SHOTGUN* New Orleans home.
*In all it's glory*
😍 with formal landscaping
Another hit! Well done!
Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed!
love this so much, thanks for posting!!!
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed!
Love the show!
Amazing home, i love all...
Agreed! We do too!
Fabulous color everywhere
Love her home and style❤️
Us too!
It thrills me to my toes.........but not my bank balance!
Somehow my monthly budget is linked to how many of your videos I indulge in!
LOL!! Not taking responsibility for your bank balance - only the inspiration ;-)
Wow 😲 so beautiful.
Chani P We love it too! Glad you enjoyed!
Fabulous! 👏
Beautiful home!! Just curious is she really has her initials all over the house.
cant imagine what its like to be so wealthy & have everything you want be yours.
Call me old fashioned but I think monograms should be small and discreet, too large and they look corporate. Great house though!
Yeah, I think she has overdosed on monograms.
Old or new fashion, monograms all over the place is uh ... not really .. uh ..
I love them but I was raised by a mom who collected embroidery machines. Our horse blankets, saddle pads and finger towels all got monograms! Hint: use a poly thread if you want to be able to bleach those linens.
@@patfondren6013 Ohhhhh Mr Fondrennnnn. CMJ
Frankly I find the monogram everywhere thing weird.....we do not do this in West Texas....
The hostess moves so graciously from room to room. She seems to glide.
table setting, monogram, n her elevator are cool .
Yes, yes and yes!
"Ma che bellaaaaaaa, 💋💋💋💋💋💋belli, come colore, ....stilo eclettico, ....fino, ....con personalità, senza essere. .austero. 💚💚💚💚💚✌💗💘
Bless her heart
My sentiment exactly.
My,my,my This is ELEGANT.
I am in monogram Heaven!! Love her home!!
Absolutely love ❤
Does anyone know what paint color and brand is?! I've been looking for this exact shade of chartreuse!! I'm very particular Amanda Nisbett did a room in a similar shade of BM "jalapeno pepper" is this possibly the same shade? If so I'll be running down to get it in the am!
Shereen Sahebi I’m afraid I don’t know but we could certainly ask if you’re interested!
Beautiful
Great!
Do you mind sharing the exterior paint color?
I’m afraid I don’t know. You could always write to Jane Scott on her website Leontine Linens!
Eleganza e buon gusto straordinario
In the UK we call them Bolster Pillows, a double sized pillow.
In France we call them "traversins" , they were everywhere in my childhood , you don't see them much anymore ... I think they frame a bed nicely
Wow. Wow and wow!
Beautiful. It all works so well together. But it works only in huge spaces. Try it in a small apartment and all these patterns would kill you ;)
I respectfully disagree! You will see other episodes where there is a riot of print in smaller rooms!
@@quintessenceblg I am looking forward to watching and changing my opinion :)
Loved it all but it seemed ‘echoey’- wonder how you could soften it..
Exquisite
I love the name Leontine :)
What is the color name and brand on the walls?
I'm afraid I don't know - you could always write and ask Jane Scott at leontinelinens.com/contact-us
Watching this for the third or fourth time. I blame quarantine. But who can help me identify the amber goblets Jane used in the still photos with the Derby Old Imari?
Any tabletop lover that can help cure my obsession? Haha. They're pictured but not mentioned in her book.
Around 2:13
LOL!!! So glad you enjoy! I have asked Jane Scott if she remembers - will let you know.
So Jane Scott said they are sadly no longer available. The artisan who quite making them years ago.
Thank you!!
VERY NICE
