OLD WORLD CHARM When it comes to high-style decorating John Wade defers to longtime friend and interior designer Emily Adams. It was an approach that worked when Wade decided to leave the St. Charles Avenue condominium he had occupied for 23 years and buy and 1850s two-story home Uptown las August. Because they have been friends for years with a standing weekly lunch date. Adams knew Wade's personality and tastes as well as his love of New Orleans' architecture and culture. She also had decorated his condominium and knew his preferences in furniture, art and style. "He gave me a budget and let me go with it," says Adams, who specializes in 17th, 18th and 19th century French and English antiques and focuses her business on high-end residences. "(As a designer) I'm completely intuitive. I have an impression of [my clients] and try to see them as interior design. I try to put their inside out. They are the project. Some people like high drama, but John needs, serenity." "I worked up all the color systems for the house, and it has that Old World feel," said Adams, who lives in the Pontalba in the French Quarter and loves antiques herself.
