| Road to Morocco |
 Oh my- If I knew I could rent this Moroccan style tent, a Curious SofaChristmas Show would be in the works. IMAGINE!! I'm in the mood to redo my home and all things Moroccan have been consuming my online search for ideas. Every time I scroll through interior images, my heart skips a beat when I see the patterns and textures of this North African country. What I love is their use of pattern of course; not quite Spanish and not really African but somehow a softer version that becomes a soothing melting pot of ethnic style.  Moroccan tile, left and right and Kathryn Ireland fabric center.I am not ready to paint my walls because I still love my greys, whites and neutrals but adding mosaic tiles and intricate printed fabrics is easy enough to do.  I'll be keeping my eyes open at flea markets and antique shows for any objectwith this Mediterranean feel. Giant clay pots and textured pillows.  And maybe it is time to collect various tiles to add to my fireplace. Somegreat ones can be found on eBay. I love how it is not applied perfectly.  Moroccan style does not have to be in reds and oranges. Moroccan tile, left; vintage rug center; Kathryn Ireland fabric right. I WANT, this $998 table from Anthropologie. Imagine how garish all this would be if more colorful. So simple, but the ethnic feel is still there. A great idea using different tiles up the stairs (especially if you can't decide!)  The printed curtains are all you need here. A lovely, lived-in but decorated room by Kathryn Ireland. |
