A Tour of Pussycat Headquarters
Denise's New Orleans pad is an old-timey uptown Greek revival with a lot of character and plenty of leaky windows to match. It's constantly a work in progress, since old houses are like old cars: something always needs to be fixed. But, for all its faults it's home and I love it. |

 |
| The bedroom — my mother-in-law made the purple quilt with pieces of my wedding dress. The computer study, where Pussycat Magazine is made. | |
 |
 |
| My bathroom reminds me of summer camp or vacations in a cabin. The walls are made of 19th century barge board. The medallion and chandelier in the double parlor. The house was built in the 1850s, so it's got plenty of old-timey details and materials. | |
 |
 |
| The green room has a free-standing fireplace in the middle. This side of the fireplace is the TV and music room, the other is the dining room and sewing room. The nightstand in our candy-pink guest bedroom. | |
 |
 |
| All bathrooms have at least one Elvis salute (he died in a bathroom). This is the velvet Elvis in the powder room. Buddha with space age bubble lamp on my nightstand. | |

| The second story balcony attached to my bedroom. The view of the Japanese Magnolias in my backyard, taken from my rear hallway. | |
