Pumpkin spice, anyone? Actually, in Mexico we don't decorate pumpkins; we eat them.
Anyway, I re-imagined and reupholstered this delightful carved hacienda chair with a hand loomed woolen tapestry from Oaxaca on the backrest, traditional Mexican cotton "manta" cloth on the seat, and red velvet on the back. It's a striking combination.
Like most Mexicans, I am descended from both indigenous people of our beautiful country -- in my case probably Aztecs or Tlaxcalans -- and Spanish colonists. I envision some of the most beautiful expressions of Mexican aesthetics as combinations of the amazing beauty of traditional Native American and Spanish craftsmanship.
