Alex’s Layered, Laid-Back Uptown New Orleans Rental

Apartment Therapy originally visited Doorman Designs founder Alex Geriner in 2014 with a house call, but returned in early 2016 for a full complete house tour. They noted that, while not a lot had changed since then, some pieces had moved and some added, and that those subtle changes made his home feel more fluid and flexible.

Biggest Indulgence: “The coffee table I designed with petrified wood. It’s a 63” piece of solid fossilized stone that weighs about 300 lbs and dates back to 25 million years ago.”

But it’s [Alex’s] ability to layer modern art buys, vintage finds, quirky plants and his own furniture designs (he’s the owner and designer of Doorman Designs) that makes this place so special.
