A character-filled cottage which is "irresistible" and enhanced by the use of white furniture in its interior design plan, according to one website.
Mr and Mrs Gisleson-Palmer had to fight to get their ideal home, which they told nola.com took them several years to acquire through negotiations with the previous owners.
The home is now filled with white furniture that includes a white fireplace and a kitchen set-up, which is in the New England style.
Nola.com stated: "The furniture is a mix, including a painted chest, a primitive Louisiana armoire and a pair of weathered brass chandeliers. Artwork, some by pros and the rest by the Palmer daughters, enliven the room."
The home also includes cabinets which were rescued from a local school and other salvage items that have been painted to match the house's white furniture style.
In other news, Julie Carlson writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, recently claimed that introducing new items of furniture to a home should be done over time to avoid creating a sterile feel.
