Book Reviews of Casa San Miguel: Inspired Design and Decorations
Book Review: As the title implies, this is an extraordinary design book
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book because it doesn't focus on the glory of the house so much as it does on the style of mexican design done tastefully. If you are familiar with Mexican architecture and design, the quality this book brings to the table is hard to come by.
This book is an excellent addition to my collection of decoration books yet a unique one as it's focus is not so much on the fantasy of these gorgeous houses as it is on their amazing contemporary, colonial design.
Summary of Casa San Miguel: Inspired Design and Decorations
San Miguel de Allende, one of the prettiest destinations in Mexico, has become a fabulous source for stylish decorating ideas as many international designers are flocking to this artistic mecca. Acclaimed architectural photographer Tim Street-Porter and style writer Annie Kelly take us on an insider’s tour, from stately rural haciendas and villas to renovated colonial townhouses. Featured are more than 250 glorious photographs of residences that show a blending of local crafts and handiwork with antiques and contemporary furnishings. Beautiful outdoor entertaining and garden areas enliven many of the houses. With a foreword by Jorge Almada of Casamidy, a design company based in San Miguel, Casa San Miguel is a unique inspirational design resource. It provides a vicarious look at daily life in this picturesque Mexican town that is attracting many international trendsetters.General Books
