Small House, Big Easy

DIY

There's no city in the world quite like New Orleans, and in this town, the small, rundown "shotgun" houses are just as much part of the history as the elaborate mansions next door. Reviving these little homes for the modern buyer is no small feat. Big Easy native Sarah Martzolf is an expert at finding, buying and restoring these small diamonds in the rough, turning them into updated, modern homes while still preserving every original feature she can find. It's more than just a flip, it's a real labor of love.
