While in San Miguel, we stayed with several friends at one of the most spectacular homes I have ever slept in: Casa Hyder. Over a period of three decades, the house was painstakingly built and decorated by the Hyder family from Ft. Worth, Texas. The bright colors, variety of textures and patterns from around the world, and huge number of Spanish, Italian and Mexican artifacts is impressive.
The facade of the house from the street.
One of many outdoor seating areas.
The dining room.
The main living room.
Our bedroom.
My favorite space was the open air entrance gallery, filled with hunting trophies and Mexican ceramics, and lit with a huge Morrocan lantern.
I spent hours just wandering around the house over and over. I hope I get to return to Casa Hyder someday. For more information on the house, check out this New York Times article.
My god! Sensory overload!
