Casa Edwards is the true reflection of a couple who lived in Saudi Arabia for over 9 years and brought with them copious tangible memories.

Artifacts not only from Saudi Arabia, but also Morocco, Ethiopia, Yemen, Oman, Mexico, Indian, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey cohabitate beautifully in this truly intercontinental home! 

The kitchen and bathroom tiles reflect a mixture of Middle Eastern and Mexican/Moroccan design, as do many of the furniture pieces and decorator items. 

After moving here in April 2001, they decided that the house wasn’t large enough to host their friends and family sufficiently well, so they purchased the adjacent lot and built an addition that seamlessly connects to the original structure.

It has its own separate entrance from the outside Common Area, as well as an additional kitchen, dining area and living room.

In total, there are four bedrooms in Casa Edwards, one of which was transformed into the owner’s art studio.

While in there, be sure you take note of the antique doll house she purchased at a garage sale shortly after arriving here, complete with authentic furniture and decorations.

She is also an assemblage artist who takes items purchased at flea markets, Tuesday Market, estate sales, and tiny shops nestled along the highways to Dolores, Comonfort and Queretaro and creates pieces with entirely new identities and/or uses. 

In many cases, she marries her love of succulents with gnarly wood from Mesquite trees and very old carvings and bateas.

In the dining room you will see a lamp made of an inverted wooden bowl, a drum, small basket and a necklace! 

Upstairs in her studio, you will see a lamp made from a roulette wheel, terra cotta statue and embellished Mexican lamp shade. 

The possibilities are endless given the unique and truly interesting items available in Mexico!

The connecting courtyard provides several comfortable, tranquil seating areas for casual entertaining and parties, as well as a beautiful array of plants, lighted arches, and gorgeous arched bougainvillea and spiraling star jasmine.

A weeping-wall fountain acts as the focal point for the garden area which leads into the “casita” entrance. 

Take your time, and feel free to ask any questions of the guides and/or owner.

Thanks for coming and I hope you enjoy your visit!
