My spunky and stylish friend Valorie Hart is a designer and multi-talented woman who lives in New Orleans and authors the very popular blog Visual Vamp. This girl "takes a licking, but keeps on ticking" as they say. She and her husband and dance partner Alberto (they are international tango champions) have been through a lot recently, but you just can't keep them down. Valorie continues to triumph both personally and professionally and uses her touch to transform spaces for clients and bring her own je nais se quoi to homes. These photos are from her own home in NOLA and I was delighted to see one of my canvas prints as part of a tablescape on a console. I also love her take on a dance studio adjacent to her living room. Rather than having a large mirror running the length of the wall, she created a gallery of mirrors. Genius!

Such a small world! Valorie just arranged a sale in my Etsy shop for a client. She's been wonderful to work with! So cool to see a post on her and take a peek in her home!
Anne-
Having had the pleasure of meeting Valerie, she is a delight and I love her honesty. I hope to go visit one of these days....Vamp and New Orleans!
Love that she has a love for home, art, dance and life!

Refreshing style....smiles
That room is full of energy and life...I love it, and I love your orange chair there a lot... xoxo
I agree, I love a wall of mirror...much more interesting than a solid piece...
Your work looks lovely here!

Anne,
As they say "it takes one to know another" and the creative circle of life revolves around the talents of others.
Love it!

Anne!
Valorie is one of my most 'favoritest' girlie girls. She is one talented sistah and a generous sole. Thanks for spreading the word on this jewel of a woman!
Love seeing 'your' chair sitting on her chest!

what a great space! I love the contrast of her white furniture against the chocolate walls :)
What a fun space! Your chair silhouette is the perfect pop of color : ) xo Kelly
I like that she 'takes a licking and keeps on ticking!' Just brilliant and will remember that when I face my own personal let downs!
