Folder: Outdoor Sitting Area

A lovely space to relax drinking a cup of coffee with your friends after work... Let yourself comfort in the built-in couch, chit-chat for hours till late at night and enjoy this beautiful outdoor surrounding by a big range of plants which help you to breath fresh air and rejuvenate! I adore the combination of whitewashed walls, cotto tiles, ceramic pots, raw tree trunks and rattan... Do you?

Summer Cottage in South Africa

Today, I found this simple yet beautiful summer cottage surrounded by this amazing maritime scape of Churchhaven, west coast national park in South Africa. I felt in love immediatelly with its outdoor spaces! Especially that pergola with this breathtaking view of the turquoise water of the sea... I am daydreaming and imagine myself relaxing in the comfortable hammock and enjoying this dreamy view!!! I think that already feel the salty breeze on my body... Perhaps I am in need for holidays! I am soo tired this period.

What do you think about this wonderful cottage? Would you like to spend some days there?

Paternoster Beach Cottage

This house situated on the West Coast of South Africa immediately stole my heart!!! It is built entirely from local stone and its roof is constructed by tree trunks and canes so as to be the house's interior cool during hot days... What I love most in this house is the use of aqua in the shutters, in some furniture and in special decorative objects; It's my favorite color and I feel that it matches perfectly with stone and the natural surroundings! What do you think about it?

I wish you to have a wonderful weekend my friends!!!

Bedroom: Natural Linens

An improvised bed made by raw wooden beams and tree trunks, with a super soft mattress and airy linen curtains around it, in the color of sand, makes you feel so close to the nature in an elegant way!

Elegant Living Room

A simple in design yet elegant living room which inspires you to spend a lot of hours sitting in its comfortable sofa watching a movie or drinking a coffee with your friends. It is also the right place to read your book sitting in one of the two Barcelona white chairs in front of the enormous window which allows the daylight to illuminate the room. During the night the atmosphere becomes more dramatic as the wooden roof's spotlight lighten the dark grey painted walls. Another beautiful piece is the tree stump coffee table which gives a rustic touch to the otherwise contemporary design of the space.

Living in the Attic

One of my dreams is to have a home with an attic in order to make there my bedroom.... I feel that is the most beautiful room of the house and if you are lucky enough to have a large attic, you can organize there a lovely living room full of sun light and gifted with a beautiful view! 

I loved immediately the living room of the first picture as it looked so cozy to me. I found pretty neat the combination of cement and warm materials such as sheep skins, fluffy pillows, and the tree stump coffee table. 

I was also mad about the glass roof of the third picture living room. It is so bright and you can exploit the sunlight throughout the day. Look at the detail of the hand painted contour rug!

Finally, I could stay a lot of hours in the couch of the fourth, totally white attic gazing at that breathtaking sea view!!! Love also the detail of the hand made kelim and the wooden rough coffee table.

Bedroom: Rustic & Raw

Is there any warmer material than wood? I think it is perfect as a wall covering in a bedroom as it offers firstly an excellent insulation and then adds a touch of romance in the room! Especially if you have a winter house in the mountain where temperature is very low during the most months of the year it would be the right choice. In order to create a rustic bedroom prefer to use raw boards of wood or some tree trunks in your wall covering. A simple idea is to use the boards of old wooden pallets.

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!

Coffee Table: Tree Trunk

Now that winter is just around the corner, we all stock firewood to be ready for the cold days. Have you ever thought that a tree stump can also have other uses in a home? Look at that beautiful and inspired tree trunk coffee table to get an idea of how you can use it as a furniture... Reclaimed tree trunks are increasingly becoming one of my favorite materials to decorate with, as they are so environment friendly, so easy to find no matter where you are, but also extremely beautiful and versatile as well!

note: If the stump has a small diameter, you can add a glass top in order to provide more space.

High Ceiling Living Room

It looks like so airy and sunny because of its double height ceiling and the enormous windows which allows to the light to fill the space. Can you imagine sitting in this wonderful living room and enjoying the night view from those windows? Millions of little lights in the absolute darkness of the night!!! Marvelous....

I like so much the simplicity of  this living room and I felt in love with the tree trunk coffee table....
