The Autumn 2017 cover of New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles magazine showcases a contemporary outdoor living space with a family seated on a white cushioned sofa, surrounded by modern furniture, potted greenery, and a glass‑walled view into an art‑filled interior. A circular badge on the cover reads “Design Masters 2017,” marking the issue that honors standout New Orleans designers, including Whitney Jones of Whitney J Decor. The feature celebrates innovative design talent shaping the city’s architectural and interior landscape.
