Casa de playa en Sudáfrica / Beach House in South Africa

¿Os podéis imaginar lo que debe ser pasar unas vacaciones en esta casa de playa de Sudáfrica? 
Puedo imaginar unos días tranquilos,  dedicados a descansar, leer, largos paseos por la playa y lo mejor con un entorno espectacular!!

Garden art

Why restrict art to the indoors? (actually I can think of a few reasons....). I do love how this piece adds to the garden though, very cool!

Would you hang art in the garden?

It's Here

Summer is here.  This weekend was the official start of longer days, heat to great you when you walk outside, the pool, cookouts, flip flops...watermelon.  I am a summer baby.  I am as happy in the water and scorching heat as any other place and time of year.    While unfortunately summer does not bring with it a summer break I am going to take additional time off to be with Henry.  I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  I especially want to say thank you to those men and women who have and are bravely serving our country.  You deserve more than I could ever write here.

Riviera Maison hogar dulce hogar /Riviera Maison home sweet home

Empezamos la semana con ambientes suaves, frescos y relajantes de la firma  holandesa de muebles Riviera Maison que hacen sentir aquello de " hogar dulce hogar"  texturas naturales, blanco y madera,  
espacios donde me perdería sin dudarlo!!!

Give-away! Win a fabulous fouta

Since spring is officially in the air (here in Europe at least!) I have teamed up with Fouta De Val to offer you the chance to win a fabulous fouta. Fouta's are made in Tunisia from 100% woven cotton using traditional techniques. They measure 190 cm x 100 cm and are so versatile they can be used as a pretty tablecloth in the garden, a cool bed spread, a light towel for days out in the archepelego or a scarf for cool summer evenings. Choose from a whole range of spring colours or stripes or mix and match for a unique style. I'm sure you'll love foutas as much as I do!

The company has such great ethics too - foutas are more and more rare and out competed by mass-produced varieties of poor quality. By purchasing a Fouta de Val you're supporting the local craft tradition in Tunisia and the livelihood of many local crafts men and women. In addition Foute de Val pays a contribution to Sweden's Save The Children organisation for each piece from the Mahdia and Carthage range sold. We like!





 To win a fouta all you need to do is:

- Visit the Fouta De Val home page and choose your favourite fouta
- Leave a comment below stating which fouta you would most like to win and why

This competition is open to everyone, where ever you are! Please be sure to enter by Midnight GMT Sunday 2nd June 2013 so you don't miss out. The winner will be announced here on Tuesday 4th June. Spread the word! :)

Quiet Time


Una casa fresca y relajante / A cool and relaxing home

Descubrir una casa como esta, la verdad es que me alegra el día y es que me encanta ver casas 
bonitas  y poderlas compartir.
Totalmente abierta al exterior con grandes cristaleras y una decoración inspirada en en el jardín salpicado de hortensias, buganvillas, lavanda, y romero La casa muestra un soberbio equilibrio entre elementos tradicionales, como la madera y la piedra, con otros de vocación industrial, como las lámparas del salón o los pilares de hierro con que reforzaron la estructura. Desde el decapado de las vigas antiguas a la base neutra de la decoración, todo está pensado para potenciar la claridad. Una casa fresca y relajante













♥ Espero que os haya gustado  ♥
