Ann Holden, of the New Orleans design firm Holden
& Dupuy, created this chic room in Houston. Ann herself is a very
fashionable woman. With shoulder-length blonde hair and a penchant
for well-tailored pants suits, she epitomizes the breezy elegance for which
New Orleans women are famous. Her style is much in evidence here,
with the fabulous striped fabric (run on the horizontal) on the dining
chairs, and satin curtains framing the windows. And underneath it all, bare
hardwood floors -- like bare feet on a well-dressed woman.
