    Mil gracias Alexandra for such a wonderful portrayal of Mexico and a color we love deeply. Glad to see I am not your only Mexican fan. I agree with a fellow country man in the comment down, I wish you could’ve mentioned the great architect Luis Barragán, but I know you cant do it all.
    Again, gracias ‘mija!

    In Mexico, men are not threatened by a color. The paint store mixed my paint by hand and the employee said that it needed to be more pink even though I was going for purple. I don't like the end result, but every Mexican male contractor/architect/friend that's seen the ceiling, loves it. The walls are gold. Viva Mexico.

    If you like this type of use of color, frontal and intense and with a very common identity in Mexico, the architecture of Luis Barragan usually has that color palette, who by the way won the Pritzker Prize, for his works mainly in the second half of the 20th century.

    Rosa Mexicano with the cobalt blue 😍 it’s just a dream combo ❤
    I’m Mexican American and as such my home is bright yellow. Warm, golden walls in one living room (and a feature wall in sea foam green? I’m not sure where I was going with that😂) and a yellow kitchen but a warm orange tint in my main living room. Theres obviously the last supper, Jesus and Lady of Guadalupe in our home ❤
    I have many plants where sun shines. For YEARS my house walls were bare and white, I’m over it! I want my house to be cheerful, fun and filled with the excitement and extravagance that my culture gives me. No more dishes of china, I want dishes and mugs of Barro (clay) designed by artisans of my parents hometown. I live in a cold wet climate but when I go home I want the warmth of my motherland.
    I’m so excited you covered Mexican Pink, it’s such a great color.

    This was very insightful and interesting, but I'm having a really hard time listening to Alexandra's "Influencer Girl" style of talking and presenting. I find it very grating; sounds like the host of an over the top American children's TV show. Less hyper/less samey rhythm/less squeaky intonation would do wonders - not trying to be mean, I just genuinely want to turn the video off even though I really want to keep watching.

    • @marleneg.7128

      ​@@marleneg.7128if you say so. It bothers me and I wasn't mean about it. You don't need to jump down people's throats with "then don't watch" for every bit of criticism, intonation isn't something you're born with. Instead of not tuning into videos I find interesting, I'd rather let people know what turns me off. They're free to take it or leave it just as much as I am.
