Product Description

Product Description

Now in paperback, Mexican Country Style is the classic that helped launch the popular Mexican design revival. The authors navigated coastal villages and old colonial mining towns by bus and burro in search of simple and utilitarian elements, documenting the style, design and shape of each object encountered.

Ingram

Mexican Country Style is a celebration of a rugged, romantic beauty and soulful antiquity that is sweeping the country and making its way into the contemporary interiors, gardens, and commercial settings of well-known people and businesses. The authors traveled by bus and burro through coastal villages and old colonial mining towns to seek out simple, robust country tables, weathered storage trunks, and sculptured sugar molds, pictured in 170 photos, 140 in full color. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mexican Country Stlye, May 25 2003
By 
Sara Ramsey (Texas/New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mexican Country Style (Hardcover)
Mexican Country Style was received as a a Christmas gift in December, 2000. Originally used as a "coffee-table" book, once I started to read the descriptions with each photograph I was hooked. Not only will you be able to navigate the architectural terminology like a pro, you will also get a glimpse of the past as only a tourist does when he travels with a guide from the area. Joe and Karen's personal travels' are documented with breathtaking color photos and detailed accounts of their visits into the heart of Mexico. Once you begin reading the book, you will not want to put it down until the very last page!! Mexican Country Style is a great read and an educational journey for the soul.

This review is from: Mexican Country Style (Hardcover)
Beautifully photographed with a pallete of colors that invite you to decorate a small space or an entire home. Mexican Country Style is the definitive volume for those of us who seek southwestern/south of the border interior design, furnishings and accessories. Sumptuous photos that invite you to sit down with a margarita and explore this comfort feel decorating style. Authors, Witynski and Carr, have an enthusiastic love and flare for this style decorating and this book showcases their skills.
