"After the Storm\nUndeterred by Hurricane Katrina, a Couple Rebuild, Renewing their Commitment to New Orleans\nAlthough Hurricane Katrina caused major damage to their French Neoclassical-style house near New Orleans, created by architect Peter M. Trapolin and interior designer Alexa Hampton, the owners decided to rebuild; they moved back into the house just 18 months later.\nAn oil by Philippe de Champaigne hangs in the entrance hall, and a 17th-century tapestry is displayed above the rotunda staircase. Jardinieres from Sotheby's. Louis XVI-style sconce and chandelier, Marvin Alexander. Bench from Christie's. Beauvais runner on stairs.\nThe interiors showcase the clients' \"superior\" art collection, says Hampton. In the living room, Charles Leon Vinit's View of the Cathedral of Palermo is flanked by works by Edou-ard-L\u00E9on Cort\u00E8s. Cabinet, mantel clock and console tables from Christie's. Mirror, hexagonal table and center armchair from Sotheby's. Striped side chair fabric from Clarence House. Sconces from Nesle.\nBouguereau's Young Girl with a Bowl is centered between French doors in the dining room. The still life is by Jean Michel Picart; at right is a work by Guido Reni. Chandelier from Nesle. Wallcovering, Lee Jofa. Corner consoles, S\u00E8vres coolers and ormolu-mounted vases from Christie's. French table garniture and Dutch mirrors from Sotheby's. Stark chair fabric, with Samuel Sons trim.\nHampton placed a work by Claude-Joseph Vernet in one of the four guest rooms. \"They have beautiful paintings,\" she says. Stark carpet, silks for bedcovering and lining of bed hangings and canopy, and settee velvet. Settee trim, Christopher Norman. Clarence House damask.
