Rachel and John Thompson purchased a 2400-square-foot, two-story house in New Orleans in 2016, characterized by its age and affordability. Initially viewed as a potential mistake due to the house's poor condition, including plywood kitchen counters and unusual design choices, the couple embraced its unique charm. With the assistance of family for renovations, they creatively furnished the home, showcasing Rachel's eclectic taste, such as a peculiar sculpture they found at an estate sale. Their house has become a social hub for friends and family.
"When we first bought the house and got to see it after the previous owners moved out we were pretty sure it was a colossal mistake. The kitchen counter tops were just pieces of plywood."
"But while Rachel describes the house as kind of a 'disaster' and with a style best described as '1993 Ashley Home Furniture,' the house also 'was weird in lots of good ways and we had the help of my father-in-law to do the labor."
