Daily Garden: Casa Las Ranas, La Cieneguita, Mexico

October 27, 2009

Oh, I have a garden for you today.  It is an artist’s paradise near near San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  When you see a living room like this, my first thought (besides wow!)…is, what must the garden behold?

The garden, which is part of the greater complex called Casa Las Ranas, is more an art installation than a home and studio. Partners in creation are Anado McLauchlin and his husband Richard Schultz and they describe it as an homage to all outsiders, gardeners, and folk artists the world over.

The eclectic home is covered in tile mosaic collages and decorated with McLauchlin’s altars. Every wall and even ceilings are different colors.

    The pictures only begin to do it justice. What a wonderful place and what utterly fabulous people (and doggies).

  5. Helen says:

    I just discovered this crazy wonderful home last week, coincidentally, on Apartment Therapy. I just love the over-the-top color and also the mosaics. But you found more photos of their garden which is just full of fun. Thank you!

  6. mary chapman says:

    I will never be able to see this uterly creative and warm feeling abode…but I sincerely appreciate you sharing. I have a friend here in Western Colorado who is an artist and is in the process of building a fence with slumped bottles. One bottle is a fish, and she put a hook with bait and a fly on the inside. Then her husband added a fishing pole to the fence. Quirky; we seldom really see it here except in people. Thanks again.
