The Mexican home of American socialite Evelyn Lambert celebrates her famous art collection with a fantastical vision of Spanish design and eclectic taste. Casa Leon, a Spanish-styled, 17th century home, is located in the heart of the medieval Mexican city of Cuernavaca and, like the city itself, is steeped in history
