Not all Mexican homes, new or old, look like Haciendas. Inside and out, many of them end up looking like concrete boxes with very little natural light.

I have found ways to bring the outdoors in and, through color, turn even the plainest interiors into livable art. The use of faux painting techniques, murals, mosaics, and ceramic tile are just a few examples of things I have used to beautify homes and increase their value.

One of these was my own home in California . A very basic post WWII ranch home with very dark interiors became a Hacienda-style home and I am very proud to share photos of it. My current home in Vallarta, though charming, lacked the artist's touch. You can see it in the photos,as well. Or you can contact me to see it in person.
