I can’ remember a time in my life without the work of Vicente Wolf within reach. When I think of his work, not only do I think of every shade of lavender and lovely colors, but his breathtaking design, talents and creativity. 


I could write about Vicente’s exceptional spaces for days at a time, along with the choices of antiques, fabrics, and art. I can’t recommend this book enough.

Natural materials, the desert, and plastered walls are all a small part of the Santa Fe style and architecture. The tin chandeliers, wooden beams, iron doors and gates are a part of the interiors. These are influences of the Hispanic and Native American homes. 


This book is filled with 288 pages of these beautiful homes and gardens, and I have chosen a few of my favorites. ENJOY!
