TAROUDANT PARADISE

Via Home My Design

I've never been to Taroudant. Well, once with my parents, 20 years ago, I was 10 and we used to travel a lot and eat some delicious brochettes and then leave for Marrakech. Now that the red city if full of everything, people wants to see new places like l'Ourika or Taroudant. The little Marrakech with its blue and pink streets surrounded by a thick battlements and people are so nice that you ask yourself if they want something in return. Well, no. So as I am the kind of people who run away from crowd, I was looking for a nice place where I can stay with my man and found this amazing place, like a mirage in the desert.

I love the minimalist colorful design interior. It is in the raw like in my dreams and the vegetation is present like they adapt the house to them.  

THE RED SCENE

I was on my way to my routine Marrakech hotel in the Palmeraie, and as usual i'm obssessed with palm trees pictures. But when i stopped the car, there was a quiet mood, a small wind making the leafs singing, this long red wall, the washing under the sun and this very old and wanted leather club in the middle. This is how i see morocco, this border line between traditionnal and modern, the colorful way of living. So i'm happy to be able to publish this with you guys and to keep it on my mind for my inspirations.

IT GREEN SIDE

Pictures by me, from Le Jardin (Marrakech)

In this moment, i'm obssessed with green walls, tiles, vegetation, branch, flowers, vegetables, vintage objets, old bottles, and the possibility of having this color everywhere in my house. So i put a lot of cactus in a corner, but it wasn't enough, i wanted a green chair in my hall, i've collected all the white bottles of water and then leave it for the green wines, i asked all my friends if they have anything old in this color...don't know why women can have those kind of obssession but i remember starting this in Fez where green tiles and zellij are everywhere and i loved the royal quit ambiance it emerges from.

A QUIET HOME IN MARRAKECH

Before there was a highway to Marrakech before there were riads which turn into guest houses, the red city was quiet and relaxing. I remember Casablanca Road was about 4 hours long for travelers, then all the villages on the road preparing for our arrival: meals, carpet sellers, hats Berber, precious rocks ... Memories in brief. Anyway.
Back to the basics, the marrakchia architecture . Arcades, the zellij, red earth, a patio, a terrace in the shade and lots of carpet. I love the tile with purple shades and readings over the fireplace. This is the classical luxury way of living in Marrakech.

EYES OF MOROCCO

True her eyes. Asmaa El Arabi. My Sister bring me those amazing pictures of Morocco during her trip throught the Middle Atlas. Especially in l'Ourika. The most beautiful place i've ever seen in Morocco. Green plateau in front of Snowing mountains. People, simple living, berber, green, the sky, clouds, mountains, sitting just here and and beeing amazed by this earth. 
Thank you Gurl!
