Hillside Apartment

Located in London, this wonderful apartment was designed by Turner Pocock. Inspired by the large garden in front of the property and the natural light which invades from the enormous windows, the design based on a natural scheme with layers of green throughout, using a mix of new and old, luxurious and industrial furniture and fixings, creating a fresh eclectic interior... 

Plan an escape in... Critamo Cottage

Critamo Cottage is a 200 years old Cretan house, located near the historic town of Chania.... It is built at the beginning of the Ottoman conquest in 1724 and since then passed from father to sun. Now, after its restoration, it has been transformed into a wonderful guest house which can accomodate up to five persons.

It' s about a unique traditional cretan building with exposed stone walls, arches, wooden coloured windows and a spacious yard with trees and flowers...

Its name "Critamo" is borrowed from the homonymous herb, well known in Crete, rich in vitamin C and mineral content, used in herbal medicine...

Backyard Delight

What a smart way to transform your backyard into an oasis of relaxation! I find it ideal for gatherings with our friends for chit chating or playing board games during warm spring days...

Vertical planting

A clever idea to hung some rectangle pots in a wall in order to create a unique vertical garden, is to use some old leather belts.... Love it!!!

Relaxing spot

This is exactly where I would like to spend my Friday evening.... A nice designed & well organised backyard   with a lot of plants and small trees, as the olive trees in the back of the built-in bench with the lovely linen cushion, hydrangeas, some roses planted in baskets, rosemarino and of course a fig tree. I like also the wood panneled walls, painted in beige hues and the cotto tiles on the floor which consist a neutral canvas that highlights the vivid green tones of the plants.  I imagine myself here with the company of some friends drinking a glass of moschato d'Asti, listening our favorite music and chit chating for hours or playing a board game.... What do you think about this backyard?

Put a Fireplace in the Backyard

A nice idea for enjoying a cup of tea outside with friends a cold day of winter. A lot of comfortable chairs with a sheep skin in each one to keep you warm, placed cyclical around the hemispheric metallic fireplace. And....as a side table what else than a raw tree stump of course!

Saturday Chic

Since the weather is still warm, try to take advantage of and spend some hours outside, in a nice place with good company.

Sunday Morning Tales

I would like so much to get up Sunday mornings, open the shutters and face to that breathtaking view! Is there something better than to devote some hour taking your breakfast in an amazing yard like this? What do you think?
Another place to spend some hours in your Sunday, here and there.

Have a good month and enjoy autumn sun in a lovely backyard, like this!
