[ love Delhi, India ]]

Am gasit in dimineata asta niste imagini superbe din India, de pe un site de calatorie. M-am gandit sa le postez deoarece tocmai ieri ma gandeam la frumoasa Indie si imi aminteam ca, demult, gasisem o brosura despre aceasta tara si minunile sale. Acolo era o fotografie care m-a fascinat, asa ca am de gand sa “rascolesc” internetul pana ce o voi gasi! Tineti-mi pumnii! O zi superba tuturor!

Bundi – un orasel de dimensiuni mici in Rajasthan.

Viata de noapte in Bundi — nimic nu s-a schimbat de sute de ani.

 

[ my french dream ]]

This restored home in France is very beautiful … the use of the old and new is perfectly balanced and the minimal and cosmopolitan characteristics leave you wishing you owned this place! I love how everything indoors and outdoors balances so nicely. If this ware my holiday home, I would never wish for anything else in the hole world!

Ador aceasta ultima imagine. Mi-am petrecut aproape o zi intreaga imaginandu-mi cum ar fi sa ma aflu in acest loc superb! O astfel de piscina (daca ii pot spune astfel, este tot ce ii trebuie oricarui om ca sa fie cu adevarat fericit! Drept urmare, ajung la concluzia clara: DECORUL face Omul FERICIT! Macar in proportie de 40% … din calculele mele )

[ încă o casă frumoasă în Copenhaga ]]

norm (again)

Inca o casa superba creata de catre arhitectii de la NORM, din Copenhaga.

Cel mai interesant element (sau elemente) sunt aceste etajere cadru – care incadreaza perfect obiectele pe care le sustin. Sunt un fel de reinterpretare a clasicei vitrine! Si cred ca este momentul sa le folosim pentru ca nu mai este mult si revin la moda bibelourile! Asa ca fiti pe faza!

Intreaga locuinta este decorata decent, simplu … poate chiar, prea simplu … pana ajungem sa vedem imaginea de mai sus. Eu, una, am rams surprinsa de detaliile ornamentale ale decupajului in perete … astfel de forme mai intalnesti afara, in exteriorul casei si de obicei la trepte ! Dar arata interesant nu?

O idee foarte simpla de masuta de pat/ noptiera: un teanc bine organizat de carti stufoas! Si am rezolvat problema!

[ o casă de ţară renovată ]]

a renovated spanish farmhouse

This home is the last one in the series of Formentera summer houses that I have been featuring for the past months. When the owners bought this farmhouse it was nothing but ruins but after a long renovation it is now a beautiful home.

The old stables and barns are now bedrooms which open onto a large central courtyard, which function as an outdoor area for relaxing and entertaining.

The decoration reflects the owners’ passion for traveling and differed cultures. Various items which they discovered during their travels around the world can be found inside as well as outside the house.

The stained concrete, exposed beams, stripped wood, boulders and whitewashed walls and the use of natural material all enhance the feeling of freshness and respond to the intention of the owners to maintain the spirit of the rural architecture of the island.

The chandelier in the bedroom (images above and below) was bought during a trip to the Provence. The whitewashed shelves offers room for souvenirs from other trips.

The bathroom (image below) is decorated in line with the rest of the house. The sinks and counters are made of concrete, so are the walls and floors.
