Good morning dear readers. Glad it's Friday? So am I. Today we are off to Spain once again. Built on a cliff with stunning views of the Mediterranean, this stylish house combines traditional and rustic furniture. Subdued colours, airy and elegant. Care to have a look with me?


A grand porch with arches by the pool. A complete living room and dining room were set up here to enjoy the outdoors.




A white living room. Louis XVI chairs, modern sofas, antique lamps and candlesticks, and baskets all combine to make this welcoming atmosphere.






The kitchen leads out to a sunny patio.

Notice the angle of the island in the kitchen. It encourages you to walk out to the patio.






The master bathroom has it's own terrace. I'd dry my hair in the sun!

Last night we were out for a walk. It had been raining a little during the day so we were enjoying some fresh air, the smell of wet grass. Everything perfect and peaceful. Suddenly we heard an extremely loud sizzling noise right ahead of us. The first thing I thought was, oh, yes, fireworks celebrating a goal for one of the Brazilian football teams, wich is very common here. But immedeately afterwards we heard a loud crash on the ground right in front of us. Ohhh that made me jump out of my skin! It was a massive branch (the size of a big tree) that had fallen some 10 meters ahead of us. What impressed me most was the deafening noise. Nobody was hurt and I'm glad we were just strolling and not walking rapidly, otherwise we would have been squashed like two clueless frogs trying to cross a highway. Shudder!

So, to calm my nerves down a bit, (nah, just kidding, when I was certain everyone was ok I realized what an awesome moment it had been!), I need something soothing like looking out to the sea from the terrace of this breezy summer house in Spain. A stunning view, simple decorating in white and blue, stipes, nautical touches, rattan and easy to clean tiled floors.




















Have a great day, keep your hat on, and beware the Jabberwock and those angry branches!

This beautiful house is located in Malaga, Spain. It seems to be sinking into the vegetation which keeps it cool in summer. Inside, most of the furniture is either French or English, a real delight. I love every room of this house but I have an issue with the kitchen, though. You might guess what it is. Anyway, hope you enjoy today's tour, my friends!

Anybody out there? Excellent. Come with me to tour this duplex apartment in Marbella, Spain, right between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.

This inviting summer house is located in Sotogrande which is a large residential development in Andalusia in the south of Spain, right next to the Mediterranean Sea. And just in case you are interested some regulars and inhabitants of Sotogrande include Tony Blair, José María Aznar and Sarah Ferguson.
Spanish interior designer Sylvia Melián is the owner. Most of the items displayed in her rooms were acquired in Tánger, flea markets in Paris and some antiques from Portobello Road in London.
I really love the way she has combined colours and textures. Tour time, dears!
