Living in Mexico

Poem of Colors

The most remarkable abodes from Costa Careyes to the Yucatán Peninsula

Rich colors and woven textiles form a unique design aesthetic, crafted by the union of  local Aztec and Mayan cultures  and  Spanish influences. Bold pigments and vivid patterns come together in simple and rustic spaces, resulting in a way of living that is both invigorating and homely an authentic Mexican style.

The dynamic writer and photographer duo  Barbara and René Stoeltie  have struck gold again—this time with a  truly breathtaking look at Mexico’s most remarkable abodes. Traveling far and wide, from  Costa Careyes  to the  Yucatán Peninsula, this photographic journey will surprise, delight, and inspire you.

From the home of Constructivist architect  Luis Barragán, a restored 16th-century hacienda, to a traditional Mayan thatched-roof dwelling, the contrast of styles within the pages of this book are testament to the  country’s vibrantly diverse palette of textures and hues. With  many new images, some never published before, prepare to be transported to the heart of lush and eclectic Mexico.
