We've often incorporated their works into our own design  projects, as their work is perfect for the California climate, a true blend of indoor and outdoor living.</i><br /><i><br /></i><i><i><b> "The Artisanal Home : Interiors and Furniture of Casamidy"</b></i> is their newly published book by Rizzoli that tells the story of Anne Marie and Jorge,  husband and wife team of Casamidy, from their early days in New York  (Anne Marie works as an art director at Martha Stewart Living) to their  current projects and homes in Brussels, Paris, and their Mexican Ranch.   Their homes are extensions of themselves, their families, and the  artisans they collaborate with on their designs. This book offers a glimpse into not only their creative life, but their total vision and bits of their family history. - David John</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
