After going to the church,our field trip continued by a FABULOUS treat: Diane invited our group out to her hacienda for lunch. What an incredibly gorgeous home she has created!Her eye for design is impeccable,as is her taste in antiques. Her home should be featured in Architectural Digest! Truly.
Entryway room
Small entryway kitchen
Tiny details like this....

Party room,open to the outdoors and the view
Party room kitchen!Look at that bowl of guacamole awaiting us!!!
Marguerite center
What a gorgeous view,almost like Tuscany
Exposed beams are part of the charming decor
Stairs off the back patio...
...leading to an outdoor 3 bed guest room!
So shabby chic and Mexican cool
This water feature goes all around the back yard
Jane doing her "yoga poses in public places" thing
Her head chef that day,working very hard for us
Diane herself,working just as hard
My Mom had a plate just like this from a trip to Mexico.How I wish I still had it!
There is a HUGE dining room for parties,receptions,etc.
Diane spoke a bit about the origins of the house,her work,her goals,etc. What a dynamic lady she is!
Outdoor grill and pizza oven!
What a beautiful vignette,withthe sulight streaming through the ox eye window
Her storage room,complete with chandelier! I WANT ONE TOO!
Still life,à la Diane

Gorgeous mirrors
