LA CHAMBRE DES GARÇONS - BOYS’ BEDROOM

The furnishing of the house reflects the traditional hierarchy of public and private spaces within the home and the family. The boys’ bedroom, originally two small rooms, served as a more private, family space. A north–south beam marks the original partition. The east wall has been intentionally left uncovered to reveal the bousillage entre poteaux construction—a mixture of mud and Spanish moss covered with plaster. All of the furniture in this tertiary room, with the exception of the child’s “campeachy” chair, was crafted in Louisiana.
