Trend-less

Interior designer Dirk Jan Kinet does notfill his spaces with Ikea, does not karate chop his pillows, does not douse everything in white nor does he place a fiddle leaf fig in every bright corner. What he does do is the unexpected. In every corner. Literally - check out the dining room photo. This Madrid home is trend-less and I love it for its randomness. Via Nuevo Estilo.

Summer feels

This beautifully renovated home located in Ciutadella de Minorca, Spain makes for an ideal spot to spend the hot summers. Bright whites, tile and stained concrete floor, rustic architecture and casual furnishings have me wanting to pack my bags. This no-nonsense, leave-your-flip-flops-on decor is so inviting. *sigh* Via Micasa.

The perfect apartment in Barcelona

Yes, that's right. I am claiming this to be the PERFECT apartment. It is so perfect that I was thinking about listing off all of the elements that make it perfect and realized that the list would be a mile long. So all I will say is I am blown away, and YASSSSSS!!!!! Via Nuevo Estilo. Interior design: Marta Castellano. Architect: Serrat-Tort

An apartment in Barcelona

Take an apartment with glorious architectural details, throw in some amazing graphic tile floors and place it in the heart of Barcelona and I'll be wishing it were mine. This beauty is the work of Luzio (more work seen here and here).  

A Barcelona home by Cirera+Espinet

I love the casual, eclectic vibe of this home in Barcelona designed by Cirera+Espinet. And those ceilings! I die for those Spanish arched brick ceilings. (Is it called bóveda?)
I leave you with this and wish you all a wonderful weekend! I'm on the hunt for a new wallpaper installer as mine has quit midway through papering my foyer (grrrrr) and I have some doors upstairs to paint (can't wait to be rid of all this mahogany varnish). Fun stuff.
