New Orleans Kitchen Tour
April 2008, p. 62

     In 2003, Terry and Henri Hall demolished their Vincent Avenue home with grand plans of rebuilding it with a similar floor plan but a more updated look and feel. The house was near completion when Katrina made landfall, bringing water into the home and forcing the couple to begin the rebuilding process yet again. Terri’s vision was to expand the kitchen, but his wife, Henri, hoped to spend less time cooking.

      The end result, however, was just what the couple was looking for- a wonderfully spacious room for wining, dining and relaxing. The Hopkins Co. can be credited for the custom kitchen and its many built-in amenities, including a glass-front floor-to-ceiling china cabinet, coffee and wine stations and practical storage spaces for trays and small appliances. Custom stone mosaics and glass tile throughout the kitchen were provided by Stafford Tile & Stone.
