This week's Great Homes & Destinations section of The New York Times shows off two apartments in Amman, Jordan. Jordan is a popular place for international organizations and corporations to make a home in the Middle East due to its central location, cooler climate and political stability. The apartments' interiors reflect this cosmopolitan influence of combining cultures and traditions...
We're fond of the blue tile stripe in this otherwise neutral bathroom!
Check out the full story, In Jordan, a Blend of Cultures, and slideshow from The New York Times.

Gorgeous! That bedroom disproves all the naysayers who think oriental rugs are old-fashioned granny's house decor.
Holy cow...one of the couples in the article have a 1000 sq foot terrace. Yes, I said terrace, not the whole house. Must be nice! I wonder what the house prices are like over there...looks wonderful!
Beautiful.
Monica: If you read the article it talks about prices.
My BF has beautiful turkish rugs that he picked up in his travels (he was in the airforce). I have one right at the foot of the bed just like this.
That bedroom is gorgeous!
