Renovated Spanish barn

Isn't it gorgeous? Very well converted into a house without losing many of the features that make it unique but at the same time making it practical and luminous. I'm loving all the lush vegetation, stone walls and floors and wooden beams. I also like the fact that the colour palette goes beyond white and earthy colours (seen too many times) to introduce a bit of lilac and red.

Rose Uniacke's House

Very rarely I like the way a whole house is designed and decorated but this one is an exception so that's why I decided to share it with you instead of just picking one or two pictures to add to Pinterest.

Rose Uniacke's house in London has got everything I like, from highly decorated plasterwork to some modern touches and period furniture. But what I like the most is that nothing is over-the-top or feels pretentious despite the original grand features of the house.
The walls and ceilings have been left in different stone colours (adding to the monastic feel) but bright tones have been introduced with soft furnishings and the use of gold and marble. Personally I would have added a more colourful rug in the bedroom and painted the ceiling in a slightly darker colour than the wall to bring it down and make the room feel cosier.
I think the rest is absolutely fantastic and she has achieved a very relaxed feel in her house despite being located in the busy city that is London.

The beautiful photographs were taken by Henry Bourne.

Molly and Robert's House

 This is Molly and Robert's house in Kansas City, Missouri; isn't it beautiful? They did all the decorating by themselves which is really impressive, as none of them is a interior designer (Molly is a personal wardrobe stylist and Robert is a painter). I leave you with a few pictures of their house and if you want to read the full article just go to Design*Sponge.

 One day I will have a velvet armchair!

 Can I have that lamp, please??

 I love the colour combination of this room

 I wish I had the space to do this!

You can find these beautiful towels in Anthropologie

Pastels

So pastel colours are "in" this season.

And below are a few ideas of how to introduce them into your house.

Pretty, huh? :)

Have a lovely weekend!

Grey + Pastels

I'm in love with the tones chosen for the walls and furniture in this house. The warm palette of pink, gold and wood works beautifully with the shades of blue and green in walls and furniture. And don't forget the details, the antiques (left with the rough surfaces to reflect their passage in time) are the ones that make this house different. Clever to leave the walls in pale tones so the house doesn't look old fashioned or heavy and the brighter the better to appreciate all the wonderful details.
I also want a crown on top of my bed, please :)

Would she...?

Would She live here?

This is the first one of the series. I will upload every now and then a drawing of a girl with the "matching" house decoration. I will paint the drawing and then try to find the perfect place for her. I thought it would be a good exercise for me to start thinking about colour moodboards...and also a good excuse to learn how to paint in Photoshop! What do you think? Do you like it?

Blue

The days are getting longer, warmer, sunnier...nicer! And I can't wait for summer!! Although I'm quite happy with 15ºC too :)
So here they go a few photographs of a lovely house next to the sea. I can already smell the salt and feel the breeze...how I miss the cliffs in Basque Country...
