another stunning house on formentera

When I saw the pictures of this house I knew what it would be one of my favorite posts that I have done in the past 5 years! I just love the style and the setting of this house.

I love every room in this house but the gorgeous outdoor areas are my favorite.

This stylish house is located on the Spanish Island of Formentera and is owned by a lady called Rita.

Wooden kitchen cabinets and white walls: a beautiful combination.

The use of natural materials and the choice of furniture and accessories suit this house perfectly.

a lovely rustic house on formentera

I featured this house two years ago but because I really like the rustic style and because I think many of you have not seen it before, I want to show it to you again. It fits perfectly in my series of summer inspired posts!

This lovely house is situated on the Spanish island Formentera. This small island is smaller and less touristy then it’s neighbouring island Ibiza. I once visited Formentera when I was holidaying on Ibiza, and I loved this quiet island.

The images of this gorgeous little house are shot by Jordi Canosa, a photographer from Barcelona, Spain.

There is not much information I can give you about his house, which is owned by a lady named Christina. I love the way it is decorated in a simple but unique style with lots of natural materials and attention for detail.

summer trend

Spotted on Ibiza and in St. Tropez! This beautiful beach towel is perfect partner to the beach, pool or for a summer party. The towel is double sided: it has a cotton side and a jersey side with a smart pocket for money, phone and/or keys.

The Ibiza towel is very useful and comfortable for the beach as it is lightweight (easy to pack!) and it dries quickly. Because of the gorgeous colors the towel is also perfect to wear as a sarong / pareo. Available at Le Souk in various colors (€39.95).

These scarves from Etsy shop Dear June are perfect for summer! Made of 100% super fine high quality cotton, hand made and hand dyed one by one. Super light, soft and highly versatile. Ideal for those breeze nights on the coast or those chilly mornings in the city. You can tie this scarf into a knot and carry it all day with you into your bag for when you need it.

Dear June: “Inspired by the month of summer, long beaches of golden sand, turquoise sea waters, the blues and pinks of the sky and that unceasing salty breeze. DEAR JUNE is the fusion of my love for soft, light and almost airy fabrics, weightless feathers and the sea.”

bathroom wall inspiration

Do you have tiles in your bathroom or do you prefer a different coating on your walls? Today’s post features both options! Tadelakt (as used in the image above) is a great if you don’t want to use tiles in your bathroom or kitchen. It is a waterproof lime plaster traditionally used in hammams and bathrooms of the riads in Morocco.

The beautiful shiny tiles in the picture above give a totally different effect and atmosphere (tiles and image from Walker Zanger).

wooden necklaces

Today I’m loving … these wooden necklaces from Le Voyage Creatif’s etsy shop. The display of the various necklaces, each piece is paired with an equally beautiful nature picture, is simply gorgeous. Everything in this shop is handmade in the designer’s little studio on an island in a Norwegian fjord.
