Restored Farmhouse in Provence
A beautiful Saturday morning to you, dear readers.
Today I'd like to show you this majestic house in Provence. It is the result of the merging of three 1850s buildings. Two deteriorated houses with a run-down barn in between were renovated and joined to create an impressive house with modern comfort and old-world charm.
Old beams and stonework were preserved, and the new stonework mimics the original.
A truly splendid house for us to tour this Saturday.
A wisteria-shaded pergola by the stone-edged reflecting pool.
Blocks made of local limestone create a dining terrace at the front of the house.
Double living rooms bring an open floor plan to the main level of the home. These two rooms--one large, one small--are linked by newly constructed arches.
A fruitwood-topped buffet running along the rear wall of the large living room provides display space for the homeowner's antiques.
Tucked under a stairway, a seating area in the small salon provides a cozy retreat near the room's limestone fireplace.
The house's original structural beams are displayed in the small salon, characterized by the extraordinary patina of generations of paint. The flaking and peeling layers were lightly sanded to reveal a mosaic of subtle colour.
The kitchen is a simple area arranged as a combined cooking and eating space. The old stone, wooden cupboard fronts, and limewash blend subtly with the rest of the main-level rooms to enhance the feeling of a united living space.
Upholstered chairs and antique linens in the dining room.
Dishes are stored in this antique hutch with chicken wire on the doors.
An antique Italian mirror at the top of the stairs makes a strong statement.
A neutral palette, combining cream linen and cotton in this bedroom, which was part of the former barn Muslin drapes over a romantic four-poster.
A pair of porcelain basins were mounted into a country table to create a rustic vanity unit in this bathroom.
The intense blue painted on the ceiling beams of this bedroom adds a bold splash of color. Four-paned windows admit plenty of light into the space.
Chinese porcelain pieces in the second bathroom continue the blue-and-white theme with its accompanying bedroom.

Guesthouse in Uruguay
Good morning readers! Thanks for all your lovely comments left yesterday for my blog's birthday.
So, I begin my new blogging year by taking you to Uruguay to have a look at an oceanfront guest house called Posada del Faro which means "Lighthouse Guesthouse". No need to explain its name. The owners, García Arocena, first appointed architect Eduardo Strauch, and then Diego Montero to design this Mediterranean style house. A lovely place to spend a relaxing holiday.

House Tour: Sandra Bullock & Jesse James
Today we are going to have a sneak peak of Jesse James and Sandra Bullock's house. Their 2-story oceanfront home in Sunset Beach is on the market for $6,750,000. Do you think it's worth this or is it just a celebrity home price?
I'd love to stand under the waterfall. And play with the duck.
Open floor plan.
I love the fireplace, leather armchair and the rustic table with vintage suitcases under it. Is that the remote on the table?
I think I need a rug here. And the clutter under the bed is on my to do list.

House in Tandil
How's everything dear readers? My feet are a bit cold but, other than that, I'm ok.
This modern rustic house is in Argentina in a city in the south of Buenos Aires called Tandil. Designer Analía Zubieta de Galván decorated the rooms of this 280m2 home. Pink on the outside, warm inviting colours on the inside, most of the furniture is rustic and well worn. Ready to take the tour? Giddy up then!
