Description

A celebration of the uniquely vibrant architecture and interiors of classic and new Spanish-style houses within the southwestern and southern United States, Mexico, and Spain. Casa Bohemia showcases a choice of one of the most most beautifully preserved Spanish style houses, from restored haciendas in Mexico to early and latest 20th century California mission styles.
 
 
Twenty-nine residences built between the late seventeenth century and the present day are featured in new, stunning color photography that captures architectural details inside and outside and enchanting Spanish, Moorish, European and Mexican antique furnishings, artifacts, and crafts. Creator Linda Leigh Paul traces the history of Spanish style architecture from its Iberian sources to the development of the Mission style within the Americas to the still-flourishing Spanish Revival and Mediterranean styles, and without end wealthy details, including ornate wrought-iron, wood balconies, crafted glass, colorful tiles and textiles, and graceful arches. But what all the houses featured in Casa Bohemia have in common—though they range across centuries and places as diverse as San Miguel de Allende, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Hollywood, Malibu, Texas, and Wyoming—is a visual richness and vitality that emerges from the distinctive approaches to preservation and decoration found in each and every.
