Vivid colors, bold simplicity, textural contrasts,
stone, tile, and stucco--these are the hallmarks
of this refreshingly unpretentious style,
which is easy to live with and surprisingly
simple to evoke at home. Vibrant photos and
detailed, practical text explore all the elements
of the look and explain what to do with your
own walls and floors, windows and doors, furnishings
and accessories to re-create the look. And
the 12 step-by-step projects (including sand-textured
or distempered walls, a pebbled floor, a fretwork
window screen, studded doors, and a mosaic
tabletop) prove that it doesn't take a huge
effort or a huge budget to achieve the relaxed
grace of this popular decor.
