A Kitchen in Norway

Eddie and Mary Lagergren wanted a kitchen large enough for both to be cooking at the same time. With a pleasant blend of old and new their kitchen looks bright and welcoming. How I wish I could see the rest of this house!


White subway tiles, wood counters, tall cupboards, a small but functional granite top island and an Aga stove complete the look. Love the vintage clock above the window.


Eddie and Mary Lagergren, happy in their kitchen.


A vintage wooden box for kitchen utensils instead of the usual ceramic holder.


The kitchen table and chairs were bought at a flea market. On the table the candle stick, fruit bowl and sugar bowl were made by Mary.

Interior Designer Tracey Butler

Second post today introducing interior designer Tracey Butler, owner of b.home interior design studio. She attended The New York School of Interior Design and was selected to apprentice for coveted interior designer Jeffrey Bilhuber. It is here in Jeffrey’s studio where she worked alongside Thom Filicia (Queer Eye For The Straight Guy) that Tracey fine tuned her skills and developed a unique style all her own. “Serene, calm and sophisticated without being fussy” are words used to describe her design projects.

Hope you enjoy these rooms I selected for you.

Three Level House in Spain

Good Sunday morning to all of you! Believe it or not, this three level house located in Cáceres, Spain, used to be a stable. I've seen pubs, nunneries, churches and even train stations turned into homes but this is my first stable. A soft palette and combination of modern and antique furniture throughout this French country style home make it warm and inviting. Plenty of stairs to climb, no need to go to the gym if you live here! Come and see.



French country Bergèr armchairs and overstuffed sofa in the living room. Notice the salvaged beam above the window, a feature which is repeated throughout the house.


The living room is quite small but seems bigger with the doors leading onto a terrace.


The door, umbrella stand and hat rack all painted in the same colour. A cupboard under the stairs makes good use of this space.




L-shaped marble countertop.






Soothing colours in both bedrooms. The ceiling beams have been painted a lighter colour in the master bedroom.
Hope you enjoyed this tour and a happy Sunday to all of you!

Artist's Home in Córdoba

It's my pleasure to invite you to see this house located among the hills in La Cumbre, Córdoba, a province in Argentina. Built in the 1920s it's original owner was an Englishman who then sold it to a group of French nuns who lived in it for 60 years and turned it into a place both for prayer and to care for the sick as the area is well known for its prodigal climate. The nuns were relocated 14 years ago and artist Carlos Martín bought and renovated the house taking care to preserve its style but adding luminosity and his and other local artists' work in every corner.
Let's take the tour my friends!
