I met her years ago. I'm not even sure how. But I remember thinking light poured from her. She collected heart stones and was connected to the universe.
She was (and is) Swedish -- as many beautiful things are.
She had a little and perfect Moroccan vacation home in Marrakech. I wrote about it here. Oh. It's now for sale. Perhaps it should be yours?
It has a courtyard at its center...
with lovely features...
and glamorous light fixtures & nooks in the living & dining room.
The prettiest stairs...
lead up to just two bedrooms -- each as pure as a Christmas tale (and overlooking the courtyard below).
Amazing & elaborate sculpted crown molding everywhere. And even...calligraphy!
Further up still....a terrace!
and a private outdoor shower (to complement the 2 full baths inside, of course).
1100 square feet, less than 200,000 dollars. In the heart of the Marrakech medina. Perfectly renovated and furnished. Can we be neighbors?
If you would like to see it or have more information, drop me a line at moroccanmaryam(at)yahoo.com.
PS Did you know that this darling house is in my book, Marrakesh by Design? Yes, I love it that much. A detail shot is even on the book cover!
