A Love Affair With Morocco

My love for Morocco began back in college, while researching my grad-project. My assignment was to research and plan in full, a customized group tour of a country of my choice. I'm not sure why, but I chose Morocco.

My research led me into back alleyways full of hand dyed fabric drying in the sun, to spice markets, and sand dunes as far as the eye can see.

Moroccan decor is THE current trend right now, it's showing up everywhere from interior design blogs (like this one), and National design mags everywhere. As it should be.

There are numerous Moroccan decor shops opening on the web, due the huge increase in popularity, here are some of the shops that tempt me, I love them all!

Another excellent shop for Moroccan, and other "ethnic" interiors is Overstock's Worldstock Market, hundred's and hundred's of affordable home goods and accessories from all of the world. Thank goodness they are finally shipping to Canada !
