Bohemian Soul

Artistic • Soulful • Unapologetically Individual

New Orleans has always been a city unlike any other — layered with history, eccentricity, music, and magic. As development reshapes much of America, designer and writer Valorie Hart and photographer Sara Essex Bradley seek out the homes that still embody the city’s untamed spirit.

From Garden District cottages to grand Creole mansions, these interiors blend elegance with eccentricity: French antiques alongside thrifted treasures, rich color palettes shaped by the city’s unique light, and spaces that feel deeply personal rather than trend-driven. Each chapter offers an intimate look into the lives of artists, collectors, travelers, and old souls who live creatively and fearlessly.

Part inspiration, part love letter, this book celebrates the bohemian heart of New Orleans and the beauty of living with authenticity and soul.
