Farmhouse in Malaga

Tradition and careful elegance cohabit in this old-style rural farmhouse located in Sierra de Ronda, Malaga, in Spain. It was quite run down when the owners, from England, bought it and transformed it into this relaxing and inviting home. I'm sure white on white lovers will rejoice. Come and take the tour!

Sitting area with wicker furniture at one end of the long front porch.




Teak table and chairs make up this dining spot in the porch by the pool.





















Hope you enjoyed this tour as much as I did! See you tomorrow!

Summer House in Costa Brava

Located in the well-known holiday region of Costa Brava in Spain, this summer house belongs to Beatriz Domingo, owner of a clothing and accessories firm. She used a variety of recovered and vintage pieces and even some of her own design to decorate her home. Come and tour this modern rustic home with me today. I'd love to hear what you think of it!



Inviting sitting and dining area in the porch under a cane roof. Rustic terracotta tile flooring adds warmth.


The neutral background is ideal to add splashes of colour. Full length linen curtains brush the terracotta floor. Two tables were arranged side by side to make a large coffee table.


Retro style lamp on vintage coffee side table.


The same rectangular terracotta tiles of the floor were used for the top of the bench to sit next to the fireplace. The particular placing of the two small windows resemble pictures hanging on the wall. Love the simple vintage birdcage with a candle inside.


Open floor plan brings the dining room, sitting area and kitchen together in one luminous space. Country style rustic dining room table surrounded by chairs in two different styles.


Close up of the white and pink table setting.


The dining room and kitchen open onto a terrace. Glazed green tiles were used for the counter tops and backsplash.




Exposed beams and original cane lining instead of paint for the ceiling in the master bedroom.




Antique iron day bed, window style mirror, small white painted trumeau and the rustic pillows for this inviting lounging area.

Provencal Framhouse

This typical Provencal stone farmhouse is located in Aigaliers, a village in the Gard, near Uzès, in the south of France. You might think it's been standing here for centuries but it is actually a new construction. Decorated with antiques and vintage pieces, its spaces take you back in time.


A stone staircase outside leads to a guest room.


This small terrace is right outside a guest room and at the top of the stone stairs we saw in the previous picture.


A warm dining room with a massive step-in fireplace with room enough for the fire and a chair. Indian cotton tablecloth.




Satin pillows on a wrought iron bed by the fireplace in the large living room.




The bathroom, entirely done by Richard Goullet, opens to the left on a wall with rounded lines behind which hides a spacious shower. Terra cotta tiles. The full length curtain brushing the floor adds drama though I think they are not such a good idea in a bathroom!
