EPISODE 8: 🎬🎞️🎥📺🍿
FAUX PLASTERED WALL TREATMENT

Happy Memorial Day Allured Loves!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We're going out with a bang in this final episode of my series. Yet, do not fret, as it’s very possible, I may come back and do more episodes for future seasons. But for now, let's dive into all of the deets of this very special episode.

The 8th episode for my latest web series titled,
Allured By Design® Presents Design & Lifestyle: The Influence of Travel In Our Homes makes its official online debut today, Monday - May 25, 2026. It is now live and ready for public viewing on the Allured By Design® YouTube Channel, linked below. 🔗👇🏽

In the finale episode, I’m once again taking you all inside of my bedroom only this time the focus is on my faux plastered wall treatment, which serves as a feature wall in my Master / Primary Bedroom. The wall itself is indeed inspired by my travels to Italy but also heavily inspired by my New Orleans roots, growing up seeing beautiful homes in various neighborhoods and communities in New Orleans designed with this very special & unique wall treatment.

Also in this episode, I elaborate on the artist behind the beauty of my featured wall, Kellie Hyatt Gironda, the process itself of creating a faux plastered wall and
the difference between wallpaper and faux plastered treated walls. I personally love them BOTH!! And, now couldn’t even see myself living in a home without the beauty of wallpaper or plastered treatments on a variety of my walls.

Mainly because I’m a texture fanatic!! So anything that’s going to give my walls some kind of texture, yet in the most elegant way…I’m all in!!

WHEN THE SELFIE CAPTURE IS CAPTURED…📸

Just right!!! 😉 I hope you all have been enjoying all of the episodes of my latest YouTube series…

“Allured By Design® Presents Design & Lifestyle: The Influence of Travel In Our Homes”

I’m so grateful to each of you that have tuned in thus far. I’m even more grateful for future viewers that find my series and fall in love with it as others have. All seven episodes are currently up and running with another episode forthcoming. So stay tuned for that. 🎬

The 1st two quarters of this year has been extremely busy for me but busy is good!! So I’m thankful and not complaining at all. Later this year in the fall, my Home & Lifestyle brand will officially turn ten years old - so this year is all about growing, elevating, building, taking on new projects and simultaneously reflecting on everything I’ve been blessed to design, create and build in these 1st ten years of my brand.

It’s been a constant grind to say the least. It never ends!! But this year feels more and more like the year of alignment, change and upgrade even in the face of lessons, challenges, losses, obstacles and pivots. Everything is organically pushing me towards what’s strictly aligned for me. With alignment comes change and oftentimes with change comes the upgrade. Change can be scary, but the upgrade can be BEAUTIFUL!!

Lastly, 2026 has been dubbed as The Year of The Horse!! My astrological sign is that of a Sagittarius ♐️ with the centaur (half horse, half WOman) being our mythical creature symbol. So for me personally…this is “The Year of The Sagittarius!!” And, I’m graciously stepping into everything God has for me, every blessing, everything I’ve worked for and continue to work for, every lesson - and the alignment, change and upgrade that comes with every seed that’s already been sown. 🙏🏽

LET’S TALK FRENCH HOME DECORATIVE ACCENTS:

Well actually I talk all about it in the latest episode of my new web series…

Allured By Design® Presents Design & Lifestyle: The Influence of Travel In Our Homes

•If Euro inspired pieces is your jam…
•If French decor in particular is your jam…
•If like me, your travels inspire the way you live at home and even the way you style your home…

Then my entire series is for you!! 😉

In Episode 7 - I’m taking you all inside of my formal dining space, sharing both the details and inspiration behind some of my most precious & beloved New Orleans style, French decorative accents.

From my artwork, to my chandelier and furnishings down to smaller accents like vases and lamps, everything in my formal dining space has been curated with intent and pride of being from the cultural area code of the 504.

In New Orleans our slogan is…

“Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!” which means…
“Let The Good Times Roll.” 🎶🎺🎵

I proudly designed my formal dining space in a way that always pays homage to my native New Orleans and also my culture and heritage. But most importantly, in a way where the good times will always roll, especially while surrounded by elegant & beautiful French pieces.

EPISODE 7: 🎬🎞️🎥📺🍿
FRENCH INSPIRED ACCENTS

Allured Loves…
The 7th episode for my latest web series titled,
Allured By Design® Presents Design & Lifestyle: The Influence of Travel In Our Homes makes its official online debut today, Monday - May 18, 2026. It is now live and ready for public viewing on the Allured By Design® YouTube Channel, linked below. 🔗👇🏽

https://youtu.be/XACyT9RTIl8

In this particular episode, I’m taking you all inside of my formal dining space where many of my collected pieces and decorative accents are an homage to my native New Orleans and French, Creole culture & heritage.

My formal dining room is without a doubt my most travel inspired space in my home, “House Piazza.” But it’s also heavily inspired by all of the French influences I grew up being exposed to as a native New Orleanian. So being born and raised in New Orleans and still living here, now on the Northshore side of the city…it’s only natural that my home would have some French influence in it.

In addition, my formal dining space is the one room that I had a strong desire to make it very clear that I not only love to travel to various places in Europe but that I also love the “elegance” of French design and proudly love all things New Orleans.

ALLOW ME TO RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF…👩🏽‍💻
Home | Interiors | Travel | Lifestyle

Tachic Hickman-Piazza here, Founder & Principal Designer of Home & Lifestyle Multimedia Brand & Interior Design Firm, Allured By Design® where Interior Design, Life, Luxury, Art, Culture, Travel, Fashion and Filmmaking and the exquisite art of creative storytelling all intersect and are all celebrated.

I’m a highly proud native New Orleanian and multi-hyphenate creative with a degree & professional background of 20 plus years in Filmmaking. Writing, producing and creative storytelling are my deep passions. Interior Design & Traveling however are my passionate obsessions!! With History following immediately behind, as I have an extremely inquisitive mind since childhood and I’m a huge lover of learning about the history and stories behind whatever fascinates me.

Managing and coordinating logistics are two of my biggest strengths that aid and serve me well in both creative fields of film & design. Of course, I love the creative part the most!! But being strong in logistics is imperative for the creative parts to flourish. 😉

Through my brand, I share daily interior design inspiration via projects I’m designing and creating in my own home or via special client projects. In addition, I’m a frequent guest Designer on WWLTV, Great Day Louisiana where I share more design inspiration and design tips with an even larger audience.

I believe in the power of storytelling even through design, as I firmly believe our homes tell the story of who we are, what our interests & passions are and ultimately what makes us feel good.

Also, through my brand, I’ve Created & Executive Produced two original web series that both focus on design education, exclusive details and all of the things my audience always wants to know. My 1st series (Boutique Shopping Saturdays With Allured By Design) teaches my audience the best local places to shop for their home and also how to shop like a designer.

My current & 2nd web series (The Influence of Travel In Our Homes) is an evolution of my 1st diving deeper into the history of various decorative accents & furnishings and the countries they originated from - some of which I’ve traveled to. In addition, the main focus of my latest series is sharing how the influence of travel has a direct connection to how we live at home and how we style our homes.

Because of my deep belief in the power of travel, I also host and curate “design & lifestyle” group trips - inviting my audience to travel with me to various countries abroad learning and soaking up life, culture and design inspiration one destination at a time. 🛩️🧳🌏

I’m a strong advocate of supporting small local businesses here in my hometown of New Orleans (on both the Southshore & Northshore) and also when I’m traveling - my goal and focus is to always patronize small, boutique businesses vs. mass chains. For me, this includes hotel accommodations…as I’ll always opt for a smaller, boutique hotel that’s local to the destination vs. a large chain.

And, when supporting larger stores - I prefer to give my dollar to the physical store vs. e-commerce all in an effort to make sure my dollar helps to keep brick & mortar stores alive.

More of my re-introduction, my film & design journey, my travels, my web series and current projects will all be shared in my upcoming Spring Recap 2026 Newsletter. 🗞️📝✍🏽

The best part about producing a series or any creative content is knowing that my audience is not only excited to experience it, but also learning something in the process.

For me personally, that always makes my heart smile!!

It’s not enough to just show pretty things. But it’s everything to make sure my audience leaves with something valuable, something that inspires them and something they can incorporate into their own home & lifestyle. 🥰

So grateful for my creative talents & gifts!! 🥹🙏🏽

EPISODE 6: 🎬🎞️🎥📺🍿
BAROQUE PICTURE FRAMES

Allured Loves…
The 6th episode for my latest web series titled,
Allured By Design® Presents Design & Lifestyle: The Influence of Travel In Our Homes makes its official online debut today, Monday - May 11, 2026. It is now live and ready for public viewing on the Allured By Design® YouTube Channel, linked below. 🔗👇🏽

https://youtu.be/je5RsSfve6Y

In this particular episode, I’m taking you all inside of my home office, which I’ve designed and curated to perfection - to my specific taste and style, with my home office holding some of my most precious and even personal accents.

My home office is the space where a lot of the interior design magic happens!! It's the space where I come up with ideas not only for my own home but also for client projects as well. It's the space where contracts are signed off on, where meetings are set and scheduled, zoom calls take place, projects are released and shared from, edit notes and editing sessions are held, photo shoots and video shoots are finalized and approved from my home office, days and days (weeks even) of writing are done and lots of long hours are spent from this space.

So it's only natural that a space that holds so much worth and value behind the magic and hard work that goes into all things Allured By Design® would need to be a beautiful space that daily energizes me with the same creativity I desire to put out into the world.

In this episode, through the interiors of my home office, I share my continued love for baroque style design and "fancy" detailed ornamentation. Only this time, the focus is on some of my most favorite picture frames all in the European baroque style.

Instagram is once again doing their random algorithm
"clean up" cycle and literally just went and removed roughly 35 of my followers!! Freakin INSANE!!! 😫🤦🏽‍♀️

Also, it's not enough just to follow. Please
"engage" with me on my brand page and comment under my posts. That's what helps to not be counted in a random removal.

I work way too hard for the foolishness and disrespect of my page!! Yet, something I have very little control of. As such, I'd highly appreciate you all following my home & lifestyle brand page - on Instagram.

And, please share with others. Feel free to share this exact story:

“INTAGLIO” FRAMED ARTWORK

Allured Loves…
The 5th episode for my latest web series titled,
Allured By Design® Presents Design & Lifestyle: The Influence of Travel In Our Homes makes its official online debut today, Monday - May 4, 2026. It is now live and ready for public viewing on the Allured By Design® YouTube Channel, linked below. 🔗👇🏽

And, because today is the official “Met Gala” day, this episode is all about art!!! But not just any art!! Instead…really fancy, artwork that dates all the way back to ancient times. Because if you know anything about the “Met Gala,” then you know the Gala itself takes place at “The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art,” which houses some of the most exquisite, historic and ancient pieces of art.

So yeah, the release of this episode is right on time!!!

Just remember the word “intaglio,” which is Italian in nature and means to carve or cut into. You’re going to learn all about what an “intaglio” piece of art is and how long it’s been around. In addition, you’re also going to journey with me to the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece by way of learning all about intaglio artwork.

Be sure to head to my YouTube Channel to view the full episode, either before or after you’re done watching the “Met Gala Red Carpet Looks.” But in the meantime, have a look at this short clip attached below. 👇🏽
