A small detail with a big story ✨
Adobe nichos have been a part of New Mexico architecture for centuries. Originally built into thick adobe walls, these recessed alcoves were often used to display religious items, treasured keepsakes, or meaningful works of art.
Today, nichos remain a beloved feature of Southwestern homes, blending history, culture, and craftsmanship. One of our favorite details at the casita, it’s a small reminder of the rich traditions that make New Mexico so unique. 🫶🏼
