Good, but not great Keira I confess that I was a bit disappointed by this book. I was hoping for a book about sumptuous Moroccan decorating and living the Moroccan lifestyle.

"Nothing to capture my interest--" according to aliinseattle. Glad I took it out of the library & didn't purchase it, as it is reeeeaaally disappointing.

Sully catalogs both traditional crafts and contemporary arts to show readers how to introduce the beauty and spirit of Morocco into their home décor—as Gogo Ferguson has in her Martha’s Vineyard house.Entertainment is as much a part of the Moroccan experience as the glorious rugs and intricate furnishings. In chapters replete with gorgeous photographs by Jean Cazals, Sully takes readers on an unprecedented tour through private homes, stylish resorts, and intimate guest houses—many never before published.We visit Dar Tamsna, outside Marrakech, the epitome of Moroccan fusion, and a riad, or courtyard dwelling, that is a meditation in gray and white.

Perched atop the African continent where East meets West, Morocco has been a d
From Publishers Weekly A specialist in regional design, Sully (Savannah Style; Charleston Style) turns her attention from the American South to Northern Africa in this lavishly illustrated and impressively informative guide to "new" Moroccan style. Overall, this is a lovely book-a good choice for anyone interested in learning more about the history and application of a complex design tradition. Each chapter of the book is devoted to a public building (such as the red leather and dark wood nightclub Comptoir Darna) or a private home (such as the minimalist, earth-toned abode of German Ambassador Herwig Bartels). And Sully's text explains how each location exemplifies or modifies the Morocco's characteristic mix of Berber, Arab, Spanish and Frenc
