Rustic Home in Spain

Good morning to you, lovelies! I'd like to thank you so much for your comments and e-mails letting me know your likes and dislikes. They mean a lot to me and make me feel that the time I spend looking for material for my posts is well worth it. Thanks again!

On to today's tour. This two-level house used to be part of a large farmhouse. Its rustic bones with terracota floors and ceiling, and great combination of old and contemporary pieces make it a warm and interesting home.

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.
