A House in the Hills - the Barcelona hills

One of my very favourite house tours of AT is this Barcelona one. Why? several reasons. One, it's in Catalonia, my home and the location in Barcelona makes me very very jealous, two, it's a beautiful home, with gorgeous windows and I Imagine tons of Mediterranean sun, and well three, I love seeing non US tours, don't get me wrong, I love seeing US tours, A LOT, but would love to see a bit more of Europe. 

A Mission apartment

Crazy crazy about this incredible apartment in San Francisco's Mission neighbourhood featured in Apartment Therapy recently. I'm crazy about the floors, the natural light and the amazing black grey wall. I'm crazy about the book shelves, the art and the beautifully arranged bedroom. I'm crazy about the most amazing entrance and the beautiful checked kitchen floor. What's not to love?

Quirky pretty cottage

Over my long weekend I browsed all over Apartment Therapy's house tours and managed to finally finish reading Lonny, finally!!

I really like this little converted cottage, so quirky and full of colors. So very personal and fun. I wouldn't mind the size being so well made. And please tell me you don't absolutely love the yellow exterior?

Don't forget to join the fun and enter the giveways :)

Camille Goutal's home in Ile de Re

In line of this morning's post I wanted to share how I came to discover Ile de Re and write about it. It was thru Camille Goutal's beautiful holiday home in the little island. Camille is the daughter of the late Annick Goutal, the famous parfumeur. She spent her summer holidays with her mom in Ile de Re, is a small converted shed and with the years Camille bought a property near by and converted it to this beautiful, easy going and incredibly comfortable family home. What a great place to spend the holidays!

The decor is a combination of antiques and, yes Ikea.

Rock n' Roll: Jo Berryman house tour

Today's house tour is a real gem. A mix of eclectic, rock n' roll, creativity and individuality. It's interior designer Jo Berryman's home in London. Jo has an interior counsultancy business, Matrushka, and is a true band girl, after all she was married Guy Berryman of Coldplay.

The 4 storey Victoria home has some amazing details, like the gorgeous kitchen and the swoon worthy Carri-esque bedroom/closet. I'm absolutely loving those crystal bells hiding little treasures.

Tiny crush

I'm absolutely adoring this tiny home. It's Beth's home in Sausalito and won the Teeny-Tiny division of the Apartment Therapy Small, Cool 2010 contest. Did you see it? Thee where some really pretty homes. I must admit that there isn't one thing I don't like of this home. It's warm, cozy, decorated with spotless taste and style. The exterior is incredibly charming, don't you think? I love all the flowers and plants, the patio is an oasis of relaxation and the perfect place to enjoy an ice tea in the summer. Black and turquoise walls (which doesn't make the space feel smaller), pops of great colors, a red Eames chair, ikat green cushions. Perfection. 

My lovely Ashlina also posted about it a couple of days ago, so I know it's a fave among many of us :) BTW, vote for Ashlina's patio here
it's number 9!!!
