Would you please just look at these pictures? They make me dream about Morocco and I am already here! They are from a book that the very lovely My Marrakesh reader *Intisar* has brought to my attention: Moroccan Interiors , by Lisa Lovatt-Smith.
The editorial description of the book says: This book explores contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked land that stretches from the Sahara to the Mediterranean: Morocco. The diversity is breathtaking: the rural pisé architecture of the south is a far cry from the Hispano-Mooresque ornamental beauty of the imperial cities. Moroccan interiors are as endlessly varied as the country itself, from the restored palaces in the medina of Marrakesh (where aesthetes of the international set now live) to humble troglodyte fishermen's homes at Sidi Moussa d'Aglou. The colorful palette of this country and the light there itself suffuse these very different homes with a vitality that is as distinctive to modern Morocco as it is a reflection of contemporary trends in décor worldwide.
Intisar adds: Moroccan Interiors not only gives a wonderful background to the structure and architecture of Morocco, but also intertwines the reader in the ways of Moroccan culture and hospitality. It then proceeds to whisk you away on a private tour of eight cities through out the country( paying particular attention to Marrakech). Showing off over 40 different homes, most of which are foreign interpretations of Moroccan style. 319 pages of Moroccan beauty.
Moroccan Interiors can be purchased at Amazon right here for $19.99. Thanks for the tip and review, Intisar! And for the great photos! You're a (Moroccan) peach.
