I want to be here...Week of June 28

(Architectural Digest, December 2008)

I know a lot of people hate Architectural Digest, and with good reason. Most of the featured homes have less to do with decor, and more to do with being able to purchase multi-million dollar pieces of land and build a custom estate on top of it.

However, every now and again, AD still manages to surprise me and this room in the December 2008 issue was probably one of my favorites that year. This hacienda in Puerto Vallarto, Mexico has that kind of transportive, magical feeling that I think every vacation home should evoke.

This is without a doubt one of the most stunning examples of lighting I've ever seen, and something that I think could be replicated without spending a full year's salary. I could easily picture a back porch or tree lit up with dozens of tin star lights (these were copper) for a special event, or just because.
