Marrakech's Peacock Pavilions: and more tales from Morocco

You see, in the beginning, I was just a girl living with my family in an olive grove in Marrakech.

But now.....I'm a girl connected to the whole world by a blog. 

I wonder about that really -- how this blog has changed so many things for me.  Made so many things better.  And one of the very very best things has been the people I have met along the way. 

Julie from the blog Alkaline Sisters was one of the lovely women at Holly's fab decor8 retreat at Peacock Pavilions. She has an inspiring story of how she healed herself through changing her diet.

Here are some of the images that she took at Peacock Pavilions.

See more beautiful photos of Peacock Pavilions and Marrakech on Julie's blog right here, including a yummy Moroccan recipe!

Marrakech boutique hotel: and tale of Moroccan decor in the Peacock Pavilions dining tent

You see, I never wanted Peacock Pavilions boutique hotel in Marrakech to be like, well, a hotel (not that there’s anything wrong with hotels, mind you). But I wanted it to be more like staying at a stylish friend’s house. And so dinner would be like a dinner party. Where you’d show up and you’d never really know what to expect. Because your friend would want it to be unconventional and surprising. She’d want make it special for you.

Here’s what it looked like in the Peacock Pavilions dining tent in Marrakech last night.

Marrakech boutique hotel: a tale of Moroccan decorating at Peacock Pavilions

I'm an accidental stylist.  A curator of odd and curious things from odd and curious places.  I've amassed them, I've grouped them, I've arranged them. None of them "goes with" anything else and yet, they're all together somehow.  I like surprising combinations.

Here's more of Peacock Pavilions, our quirky boutique hotel in Marrakech.  I hope you like it. I made it up as I went along, and we built it from scratch with love:-)
