Bienvenidos a la casita “LA MORADA” (the little purple house), my 1940’s cottage transformed into a “Texican” paradise. The cottage is surrounded by lush gardens brimming with a wild array of fragrant herbs, colorful flowers, native and exotic plants, and tropical vines. Whimsical garden art and mosaics, made by the loving hands of friends, embellish this paradise.

I transformed the driveway that led to the detached garage into a series of small courtyards—outdoor “rooms” ideal for entertaining. Indeed, a room for every mood!
