I have posted about Peacock Pavilions in Marrakech, Morocco, before but Lonny magazine published a beautiful story about Peacock Pavilions and I had to share these images with you. Maryam did such a wonderful job decorating her stunning guest house, don’t you think? You can read the entire article in Lonny Magazine here.

Another sunny post today as I am in summer mood. Finally we are having some beautiful sunny weather here in The Netherlands! This colorful home is located on Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands (Italy). This is the island where almost every house on the island has sea view.

Today’s post features a gorgeous home on Ibiza, Spain. The outdoor areas are wonderful and very inviting. I love spending time outdoors and only wish we had a climate like in Spain so we could spend more time outside.

A note to readers wanting to rent a holiday home like this one: I only feature these gorgeous houses on my blog and I don’t know if the houses are for rent. I often receive messages from people saying that they want to rent the house and even giving me the exact dates. I am not a travel agent!

living on a houseboat

Houseboats are quite common in The Netherlands, especially in Amsterdam where you can find many houseboats along the canals (there are even houseboat hotels!). Most boats are spacious and stylish. Once inside you often don’t realize being on a boat. Only the movement of the water underneath you reminds that you are not on land.

Last week I featured this beautiful black kitchen. I found some images of the rest of this home and they are worth showing you so here they are! The home, which belongs to photographer and interior designer Benedikte Ugland, has a raw and industrial touch to it.
