House and Guesthouse in Sweden

This house built in 1925 is located in Torekov, a small village close to the sea in Sweden. There is a small detached guesthouse with enough room for seven guests.

And now the guesthouse:

I find this room a bit too busy. White bedcovers would have looked better here.

Hope you are having a lovely Sunday. See you tomorrow!

So Nice to See You Again! And a Guesthouse in France

Hello once again, dear readers! Thanks so much for all your comments while I was away. I promise I will shortly be visiting you! I had a superb, lengthy, awesome holiday at home, Argentina, together with my eight kids. Thanks for asking!

And a very warm welcome to my new followers. Hope to see you around every day!

Back to our home tours, then! Maison-Travaux takes us to visit La Bergerie de Fontbonne, a guesthouse in France built against a hill, at the bottom of a valley. The period of construction is difficult to date as traditional building techniques have remained unchanged through the decades and even centuries. None of these buildings have foundations, but all are based on a double wall buried 25 cm deep. Architect Emmanuelle Stevenoot was in charge of renovating these four ancient barns which cover a floor area of 265 square metres. As the buildings stand on different heights, steps were used to connect one with another.

Guesthouse in Girona

And here you have a second post for today. Hope this makes you happy, well, if only just a wee bit.
This Guest House called Can Bassa, part of a fourteenth century farmhouse, is located in the old town of Madremanya in Girona, Spain. Originally, it had neither a bath nor kitchen, just some rooms on three floors, where - the owners believe- day laborers who worked in the fields could have slept. To enjoy the views and feel the presence of the Les Gavarres mountains, the owners decided to place the living room on the second floor of the house.

Now yes, see you tomorrow.

Guesthouse in Australia

This red brick barn was built as a guesthouse behind an old miner’s cottage on the outskirts of Castlemaine in Victoria’s goldfields, Australia. Built and decorated by Daniel Burgermeister and Glenny Eastwood, they drew ideas from the surrounding architecture, as well as their regular travels to Europe.
