My Houzz: Southern Warmth Meets Dutch Minimalism in a Live-Work Cottage (33 photos)

The white midcentury credenza and TV console is a curbside find. Clark and Witte had just finished lunch at a favorite restaurant when they saw a couple putting this piece and two others in the set out for trash pickup around the corner. “Against Evert’s wishes, I dragged everything into the van, and, once home, this piece fit perfectly,” Clark says. The other two pieces were moved into the bedroom.

On top of the credenza are brightly colored vases from a neighborhood Salvation Army, along with one of Witte’s original black-and-white art pieces.

The living room originally had an outdated gas heater in the center that was used in the colder months. The couple replaced it with a quirky birch log ceramic gas heater that their friends Kathy and Ken White were discarding. That the heater didn’t really work with the decor of a Garden District home ultimately didn’t matter, Clark says. “The more we looked at it over cocktails, the more we liked it,” she says.

The heater sits below Clark’s Chihuahua, a piece from her Juju series, which is a collection of photographs of objects found in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The accent wall behind Clark’s piece is painted gray.
