Portals of Mexico: Doors, Windows, and Balconies




 

The Mexican culture is known for its love of color, shown here. 

I love the way they've attached these natural wood pieces!

Intricate detail from the carved wood door and handpicked sentry posts, to the woven bamboo shades!  The straight lines of this house are all softened by the thatched roof which offers the dark contrast in color, as does the door.  Not shown were matching bamboo style windows and second story balconies, finished with dark, woven bamboo skirting.





Classy yet functional, these wrought iron decos found on almost every window and door, keep thieves out while allowing the breeze to flow through.  It is amazing to see how many different designs people come up with.
