Marrakesh by Design is a true delight to browse through again and again. The content is vast, complete and very informative, not to mention the stunning pictures. Maryam takes you on a journey through Marrakesh, to sublime villas, exotic riads, and her very own majestic Peacock Pavillions. With her do-it-yourself projects, your creative juices are sure to be flowing. If you've travelled to the Peacock Pavillions or follow Maryam's blog : MyMarrakesh, you know Maryam is a creative designer, a shopping guru and an expert on Morocco and Moroccan design. Marrakesh by Design provides readers with much of that insight. I enjoy browsing through my copy over and over again. The colours, the patterns, the textures... Sigh... if only we were all blessed with Maryam's eye and talent!
