Taschen’s done it again

Released September 2011 and written by Barbara and René Stoeltie, the dynamic writer and photographer duo, this sumptuous series which features Life in Morocco, Mexico, Bali and Greece is a feast for the eyes and inspiration for dreams.

Once upon a time in a land not so far away…

Though it lies just across the Mediterranean from Europe, barely a stone’s throw from Spain’s southernmost tip, Morocco couldn’t possibly be farther away. With its mountainous and desert landscapes, labyrinthine souks, delectable cuisine, exquisite rugs and textiles, vibrant mosaics, fragrant odors, mesmerizing music, and welcoming people, Morocco is a most alluring and tantalizingly exotic destination. Digging a little deeper into the myth of Morocco, this eclectic selection of homes demonstrate all that is most wonderful about Moroccan style. Flipping through these pages of fairy tale interiors (ideally whilst sipping a steaming cup of sweet, fragrant mint tea) you’ll be instantly transported.

Diverse interiors from Costa Careyes to the Yucatan Peninsula

A truly breathtaking look at Mexico’s most remarkable abodes. The authors have traveled far and wide, from Costa Careyes to the Yucatan Peninsula, seeking out homes to surprise, delight, and inspire you. The contrast between Constructivist architect Luis Barragán’s home, a restored 16th century hacienda, and traditional Mayan thatched-roof dwellings is telling of the vibrant palette of textures and hues to be found with the pages of this book. This diverse selection of villas, casitas, haciendas, cabanas, and palapas paints a lively and colorful picture of Mexican style.

Karen Bezuidenhout

Artist Karen Bezuidenhout has painted a new collection of art, in a range of sizes and motifs, just in time for the holidays. Visit us Upstairs or on our Facebook page to see the new gallery.

Karen was born and raised in the wine country of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Drawing and sketching throughout her life, Karen joined a small art school, situated in an old wine cellar, after being consumed by a desire to paint.

A few years later she relocated with her family to California, and continued to paint. She attended a course in painting and color at the college of Marin, and soon after, moved to Santa Barbara.

Karen’s rich, earthy color palette of chocolate browns, olives, ochres and burnt reds has now been complimented with vibrant blues and greens from the ocean, reflecting the influence of her Southern California lifestyle. Her favorite subjects of horses, rolling hills with shanty houses and chickens, have now been accompanied by beach walkers with dogs, seabirds, sailboats and surfers.

Her work has been described as “earthy, soulful and primitive, yet sophisticated.” Her paintings have been featured on the cover of Robert Redford’s Sundance Catalog, in Veranda Magazine and can be found in homes across the United States, in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina.
