Moroccan Roll

Very in, right now, is Moroccan decor, only now it falls under the umbrella of 'Bohemian'. However, it was chic long before the likes of Elle Decor got hold of it and that all started in the Sixties, when YSL spearheaded the exodus to Marrakesh and made it the place to be, whether it was for the handy supply of youthsome loiterers, the fabulous colors or maybe both.

There is a village called Chefchaouen which is almost entirely painted this color, where Smurfs go to retire. 

Marvelous, innit? Perhaps it inspired Yves himself towards his own vivid house color:
And it is an effective combination.Wow.

Moroccan doesn't stop at blue though. The famous tiles are used to great effect in any combination - they're not afraid of being drenched in color. 



And the details, the details! Incredible.

But here is where I'd like to spend the week...with this impossible loveliness.
