I am so mad at myself for not going to see this when I went to the Met while I was in New York. Truly this is stunning on every level.

Dawnridge. The house overlooks a ravine filled with pagodas, fantasy pavilions, and junglelike foliage.

Incredible 1924 Art Deco, with decidedly Moroccan accents, home is all white inside- a fresh canvas, but you’ve got to look beyond that and check out the original architecture. This magnificently preserved home is in Los Angeles, California and listed for $2.2M.

Why they chose to put white furnishing w/white walls, I don’t know, but look at the curvature of the stairs and fireplace. 

Look at how they made a special arch from the stairs and under it is a sculptural feature on the wall.

There’s a cubby under the stairs.

Arched windows, doorways, and keyhole openings between rooms.

This home is so sculptural, even the doorways are different shapes.

The kitchen dining area is all original with built-ins, a tiled counter, and fancy beamed ceiling.

Isn’t this a lovely deck area?

The kitchen is amazing- all original, and look at the keyhole opening in the cabinet.

Beautiful sculpted hood for the vintage stove. 

Have you ever seen a sink enclosure like this? And, the vintage faucets!

There’s narrow terrace just the perfect size for sitting outside the main bd.

The home has 4 bds., all big and bright.

Is this bath not amazing? There are 4.5 baths and they are all fantastic.

This closet is large enough for an amply sized chest.

And look at this- it has a dumb waiter.

More sculptural features in the hallway.

Cute little room has a door to an outside deck.

Another one of the original baths.

Each bath has a different color tile and style.

There are so many private outdoor areas.

Another great bath.

Nice little sitting area.

Another of those little private balconies.

Beautiful tile stairs and architecture.

This is a private sitting room on the roof with a deck. Look at the little turret, too.

View from the roof.

This is fabulous. Notice the different levels in the tile.

Arabic That Is Not ‘Yala’: How Moon Knight Is The Anti-Orientalist Dream 

Alternative Title: Why I LOVE Mohamed Diab 

In most contemporary pieces of media set in any area deemed the “East”, orientalist portrayal is almost certain. It is easy to spot works in which ignorance about non-western, non-white cultures is prominent- othered people of exotic traditions. In Aladdin, for example, there is an obvious mixture, for lack of a better term, of Middle Eastern and South Asian traditional attire, landmarks and street markets. And when you’re mixing up completely different regions of the Earth, there is little hope for country-specific accurate representation. A more recent, and frankly hilarious, example is Sam Wilson’s complete gibberish that is meant to pass for Arabic in the Falcon And The Winter Soldier. Seriously, it would’ve taken you two minutes on Google Translate to get it right, but alas. 

All of that is to say I’m no stranger to the increasingly frustrating portrayal of the Arab world, specifically, and the “East”, generally. 

Moon Knight, however, was a glaring exception. When I started watching the series, I had no clue that there would be an element of Arabic or Egyptian culture included in the show let alone have it be a main part of the plot; therefore, I can safely say I was surprised when Layla showed up with her slight accent. A quick google search revealed May Calmaway and Mohammed Diab, and I just knew this show was going to be so fucking good. 

I’ll start this off by talking about the soundtrack because oh my god it was unbelievable- the perfect balance of classic Egyptian music like Abd Al Halim’s Shghalony and Warda’s Batwanas Beek and modern “mahraganat” like Made in Egypt. In stark contrast to whatever the fuck kinds of music usually play with the ahhh-ahhhs in the background when shots of The Pyramids or Morrocan street markets are on screen, Moon Knight chose the right music to play at the right time and it landed. 

There are also the accurate shots of the architecture across the Nile, the street markets (that looked almost identical to El Ataba), and the buildings in downtown Cairo. Everything from that one hilarious taxi driver to the streetwear was absolutely on point. I genuinely thought they were shooting on location because of how precise the shots of the city were until I learned that the set was built in Budapest. 

I’m not exactly an avid reader of Ancient Egyptian Deities, but as far as I’m aware, the history was quite factual too. The Ancient Egyptian spoken was cool to hear as well, but unfortunately, there will be no fact-checking from me here. 

Other minor details include things like the dialect, which actually was Egyptian and not Jordanian for once, the traffic patterns (which is something you’d never even think of if you’ve never been to downtown Cairo), and tiny little things said in passing like Layla’s name pissing people off (which, I’m pretty sure, is because in Arabic it means wine). 

By the end of it, I was so completely enamoured with the whole series. I am entirely In Love with Layla’s character, just ass over tits for her. It was the first time I ever watched any media with a satisfactory portrayal of the “East”, and it left me wanting more. 

THANK YOU MOHAMED DIAB!!!

As a morrocan person I was so happy to see my architectural heritage being mentioned :,)

We do really love mixing gold and red tbh X)

I love this so much! I’m so glad that it made you happy! I really enjoy Moroccan design and architecture, so much so my room when I moved had to be completely furnished from scratch (story for another time). But I took a lot of inspiration from Moroccan architecture and design for my room!

Red and gold are some of the best colors though. ❤️💛

Phillip Dixon's Morrocan Inspired Home in Venice Beach, CA

I spotted Phillip Dixon’s Garden in Apartment Therapy last week when they referred to it as an “Indiana Jones Oasis”.  (oddly, IMO, because nothing about this makes me think of Indian Jones – is it just me?). Philip Dixon’s beautiful Venice house is a visual treat for all architecture and garden design enthusiasts. This stunning home in Venice boasts intricate detailing, and impeccable…
