Since I'm away tending to my sweet son, Charlie, as he recovers in the ICU from surgery, I've invited some of my favorite bloggers to guest post in my absence. My question to them? "How would your backyard space look and feel if money were no object." Today, I'm so excited to welcome Raina from If The Lamp Shade Fits.
When Sarah asked me to guest post in support of Charlie's continuing healing journey, I said "Of course!" And when she shared the theme - "If money was no object, what would your back yard look like?" - the riad courtyards of Marrakesh and Fez leapt immediately to mind. Any fan of
La Lamp Shade knows of my lust for any and all things Moroccan.
If I were to win the lottery tomorrow or find myself the heir to a new found fortune, I would hop on a plane and snap up a riad of my very own. So what speaks to me about these exotic spaces? The never-ending pattern play, the rich carvings and bold colors, and the sense of embracing shelter from a busy outside world.

I love that they can have tile outside. Jealous.
Hope all goes well for your little boy, Sarah- what a worry this must be for you, I am so sorry.
What a lovely post, Raina, I'm with you on these retreats- they look gorgeous.

I always dreamed about having my own little Moroccan-style courtyard.. Beautiful images, thanks for the inspriration.
Love the Moroccan influence Raina, I could go for that look too, reminds me of places traveled.
Thinking good thoughts for little Charlie and hoping for a quick recovery and successful surgery.

The 5th image threw me into a swoon of imagination this morning! Sipping mint tea from a crystal glass & reading "the story teller of marrakesh" before lounging in the dreamy cool bath..... ~sign~. At least I can get the tea anytime i want with a morrocan best friend.
I would do the same thing with my backyard - if I had one.
