Wow, that is a gorgeous home. I love the leaded French door. The colors, too.

Dang.

Yes, I agree. I think its gorgeous too. It has a very modern feel for being Moroccan. Almost European. I love it when this sort of fusion happens, and when it works well. I feel its the way interior design, and our whole world, is headed really.

My parents are from Morocco, but I was born in the US and raised in the, strongly Moorish-influenced, south of Spain. There is a part of me, I find, that likes it when things stay true to their form. I suppose it makes me believe that I am getting a truly original version of whatever it is. I have had the tendency to apply this feeling to many things/experiences,.... music, food, decor, clothing, even remakes of movies I watched as a kid.

Over the last few years, and especially as relates to my business (I import home decor pieces from Morocco), I am really starting to see things so differently. First of all, the world is in constant flux; we are becoming so global, so worldly, so quick, so smart, so mixed and matched. It only makes sense that these sort of fusions happen, and, importantly, they are happening because people want them to happen. And that to me is open and beautiful.

For some reason this feels very Parisian to me. I don't know why, the red somehow invigorates the gray tones to where they're not dirty or dead but instead just interesting layers.

do you know the name of the concrete look paint? even if this is real concrete. i dont know.

I wanna see what's outside that window!

Well, I don't like the gray and red combination but I like _this_ gray and red combination :)

Zhahira, I totally agree. Someone had a bathroom reno post recently with this gorgeous grey herringbone marble but with warm brown tiled floors. It reminded me so much of Godard's Contempt. I adore red and grey.

This confirms it. Red is only good in small doses. I'd go nuts in that room.

I actually really lie this room. It has a gothic feel to it. Nostalgic meets New Age...if that makes any sense.
