Filled with interiors of light, space, and color, this coffee table book shows country estates with innovative interiors, artifacts, and curiosities accentuating the hacienda's architectural lines. Ancient stone walls and arcaded portals are coupled with modern art and colonial antiques, and cobbled courtyards and salons are accoutered with curious objects and contemporary furniture. Yet all these haciendas are characterized by use of natural materials and restrained luxury. The authors are designers, importers, antique dealers, and authors of Mexican Country Style. No index or references. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
