Casa Midy

Saturday, February 2, 2008


There's nothing like natural materials to convey old world artistry. Mexico is know for it's silver mining which dates back to the time of Cortes. These bold mirrors from Casa Midy were created with the hacienda in mind. Elegance and grandeur are their hallmark.

The beauty of the Casa Midy bed could never be captured other than by the silver artisans of Mexico. The city of Taxco celebrates their artistry by holding an annual silver festival in late November. Because of the detail and intricate design in these headboards bedding should be minimal and understated.
How about a hallway of leather tiles under foot? Designers are finding new ways to use natural products. Leather tiles are becoming increasingly popular on walls as well. When you want to warm up a stark space and add a bit of texture...try leather on the walls or floor.

Mas Casa

Everything by Casa Midy in San Miguel De Allende , Mexico is awe inspiring. They use natural materials and put a contemporary twist to a somewhat traditional design. Their workmanship is artistic and beautiful . It's all hand done using hand tools and traditional methods. Their pieces add an eco sensibility and a contemporary flair to move your space fashion forward.


These box lanterns were designed to be all weather....made from a tropical hardwood. Their effect at night sets a romantic mood to any space.
