Coastal House in Spain

Two brothers inherited a large two story house on the coast of Spain. It had been their childhood home and now that each had their own family, instead of selling it, they decided to split it vertically down the middle and make two homes, one for each family.


Huge windows provide lots of light in the eclectic sitting room. Sea-grass rug.


On the other side of the living room a limestone fireplace with a polished wood mantel adds warmth. I like the little guy resting on a block of wood on the wall.


Instead of the usual console table, a distressed vintage post office filing unit.


Different style Thonet chairs in the dining room.


Black and white diamond and octagon tiles for the kitchen floor.








Soft palette in the master bedroom.




Lots of storage space under these custom made beds. Norman Rockwell prints on the wall. Nice number of pillows for a great pillow fight!

Apartment in Barcelona

Second house tour for you today, dears!

This late 19th century apartment in Barcelona used to be quite dark, not because of the lack of windows but because what is now a spacious living and dining area used to be three different rooms separated by walls and halls. By knocking these walls down a single big space full of light and brightness was created. The original parquet herringbone flooring was restored and walls and ceiling were painted white.


Eclectic style with an interesting blend of modern and antique furniture. A reclaimed stone balustrade was used as a lamp base.


Wish there was a better photograph of the fireplace which is totally made of marble.


A Gustavian style console was placed behind the sofa.


Louis XVI armchair in this reading nook between the living room and dining area.


Antique leather upholstered chairs are combined with two white modern chairs in the dining room. The pictures on the wall are by Enrique Brinkmann.


The L shaped kitchen opens onto a balcony.


The bar in the kitchen is used both for storage space and as a breakfast table.


Marble sink and white lacquered modern cabinets.


I'm quite perplexed about seeing the same picture of an old lady both in the master bedroom and the living room.


The other side of the master bedroom.


A French stool stands in front of an antique gold gilded mirror.


A marble sink embedded into a slab of wood in the powder room.

Hope you've enjoyed today's tours. Have a great day my friends!
