French Twist

CUE Magazine June 2011 - interior decoration by Valorie Hart


I have been writing about one of my projects HERE, and have the great fortune to have it recently published in the June 2011 issue of CUE magazine HERE.




It's been a wonderful project, and it is so nice to see it published. Writer Lee Cutrone did a great job of telling the story; photographer Greg Miles took amazing photos; editor Missy Wilkinson steered the story and layout to an amazing result.





Thanks to perch. for the support and gorgeous fabrics and furnishings. And thanks to Nicole Cohen of Sketch42 for the rock star tray she made for this project.

Some things did not make it on page, like a credit for Jack Mayberry who was commissioned to do the awesome painting in the living room shot.



CUE is the pride of New Orleans, the local lifestyle magazine that could hold its own on the national level with its excellent features on fashion and home decor. And I am always very proud when they include me!


Alas, the dining room ended up on the cutting room floor
It didn't fit in with the layout
But I wanted to show you a picture from my records
A new Louis St. Lewis painting was added...


...and of course that wonderful Mouille chandelier
with the Milo Baughman chairs reupholstered in Kelly Wearstler fabric
I'm sure Greg the photographer has better photos
than I took with my "Barbie" digital camera ha ha

    The whole house is just gorgeous. You get a hint at what's inside with the peace symbol on the door. I love those orange drapes. Too bad the dining room didn't get shown. You did a fabulous job!

    Valorie, you never fail to just knock my socks off! This is a stunning display of your incredible design talent! I just know that someday Rizzoli is going to come knocking and ask you to do a book for them!!! It will, for sure, be a best seller! You design for how we live...not how we WISH we lived! I NEVER tire of examining your rooms! Congrats on your work in Cue! Lucky us to get to see it!!!

    Your work is terrific! Too bad other design bloggers (who claim to be designers) don't ever show their work, if you know who I mean!!!!
    Love this house and what you have done.

    Congrats on getting into CUE. Loved the photos on your site, but CUE's gives a different perspective which helps to round out what we understand the space to really look like. Those tangerine (or apricot) silk curtains are to die for!!!!
