Interiors: Martine Chaisson's Living Room Then & Now

Like personal style, our home’s décor can constantly evolve. A new accessory here, small tweaks there. Layout adjustments, art swapping, restyling… some rooms are never quite done. Such may be the case of Martine Chaisson’s living room. Thanks to Lonny and Domaine magazines, we see how the space has changed from then, streamlined modern with a touch of glam…

To now, richly-layered and multifunctional.

The most noticeable differences include luxe drapery, an ornate fireplace mantel, and a corner dining area. What do you think of the changes?

With the exception of a few tweaks, the remainder of Martine’s New Orleans apartment has changed little in the past few years. I still love the bar area and her glamorous little bedroom!
