Rustic Home in Spain

Good morning to you, lovelies! I'd like to thank you so much for your comments and e-mails letting me know your likes and dislikes. They mean a lot to me and make me feel that the time I spend looking for material for my posts is well worth it. Thanks again!

On to today's tour. This two-level house used to be part of a large farmhouse. Its rustic bones with terracota floors and ceiling, and great combination of old and contemporary pieces make it a warm and interesting home.

Restored Home in Normandy

Enjoying your Sunday, my friends? Let's jump over to France. Nathalie and her husband Dominique restored this traditional house located in the village of Bec-Hellouin, in Normandy. Rustic, simple and inviting.

Nautical Style in Spain

Hard to believe this house was close to ruins. Spanish interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán was in charge of its restoration. On the rugged coastline of Costa Brava with priviliged views of the Mediterranean, each room reflects its nautical location.

Home and Store in England

A journey of three and a half hours by car from London takes us to Mark and Sally Bailey's White Cross Farm, an old farm from 1764 in which they combine dwelling and store. Their home is an unlikely mix of old and worn with new life. It is difficult to determine where the store ends and home begins.












Have a great Saturday, my friends! And stop by tomorrow!

Villa in Tuscany

Good morning, dears, had a good week? Last night my husband and I went to see John Malkovich at the theatre here in Peru. He performed The Infernal Comedy and I'm sad to say we were very disappointed. A real pity, we were so looking forward to a great show.

Back to our daily fun time then, let me take you to Italy. This villa called Fagnana is in Tuscany and not far from Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Siena.

Fagnana is on Villa Saletta estate, once owned by the Riccardi family (bankers to the Medici), which covers approximately 1,760 acres. In total, there are more than 20 old farmhouses on the estate, mostly dating back to the 1800s. Three of these farmhouses have been restored so far. Fagnana was the first one and it was refurbished in 2004.

Have a lovely weekend!
