Style and Design
“The wonderful thing about Santa Fe is that everyone is left to their own to define what it is. Adobe walls, Oriental rugs, and the work of pueblo artists all work well with Impressionist paintings, Le Corbusier furnishings, and Italian lighting. People have come here historically to express diverse parts of themselves. And I suppose that’s a kind of style in itself. We use to call it eclectic, now we call it authentic.” – Gary Coles-Christensen, G. Coles-Christensen Rug Merchants
