Lots of Reading!

Moroccan bookworm paradise!

Now that things have moved on with the purchase of the house, we are getting into the design phase.  I feel under pressure to get this right, as unlike a renovation project where the room sizes are generally fixed, as we have decided to go down the new build route, there is the opportunity to create the space we want.  This raises the obvious question... what do we want? There are lots of books on Moroccan interiors and I think we have accumulated a collection of most of them!

There are some really special books with lots of explanation of Moroccan design philosophy (and loads of beautiful pictures!):
