These lovely Ibiza poufs are almost sold out. The last ones are now available with a discount. I could not resist keeping a large pouf and some smaller ones for myself.. These images here are all shot in my home.

I am looking for a white armchair for my son’s bedroom that I’m redecorating. I love the Gost armchair (top image) designed by Paola Navone for Gervasoni. It has been on my wish list for a long time. But this chair comes with a price tag (around 2000 EUR). An alternative is the chair featured in the image below, which is the Ektorp chair from IKEA (199 EUR). Not as beautiful but a hell of a lot cheaper..

I was preparing this post and suddenly I remembered that I had already featured this gorgeous summer home in South Africa. But as many of you might not have seen it before (plus I have added new images), here it is again! There might be more duplicate posts after 7 years of (almost) daily blogging… This laid-back wood-clad bungalow on Cape Town’s Bakoven beach oozes seaside style. The lucky owners are Cathy, Mike and their three children. A lover of bargain finds, the resourceful Cathy did the interiors herself. ‘A well-known interior designer once came up from the beach and had a look, and his advice has always stuck with me – he said that the painting was outside the window and that whatever happened inside shouldn’t compete with it,’ she recalls.

This stunning beach house in Punta del Este, Uruguay, is designed by Martín Gómez Arquitectos. It is built with nature in mind. The building itself is simple but it has all to enjoy life to the fullest. I wouldn’t mind spending some time here..

A mix of raw and finished materials add textural interest to the interior of this modern home in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In the open-plan dining area (image above) a graphic circle adds drama to the otherwse undecorated plasterboard. Splashed of red and orange give some colors to the sober color scheme. Personally the colors are a bit too dark for me. Living in The Netherlands I know it can rain quite often and days can be dark and short, that’s why I prefer lighter colors which add light to a space. What do you think?

This eco friendly country home in Uruguay is owned by artist Pablo Reinoso. The decor is left very simple: some Thonet chairs, basic furniture pieces and cotton fabrics from Indian are used to decorated the various rooms. The bathroom features a huge trunk that is embedded in the polished concrete floor and serves as a towel rack. The many outdoor places were designed to enjoy the southern summer. Although this lovely house is simple, it has all one might need!

We have been going to Ibiza, Spain, for some years now and I think it is a wonderful holiday destination. Most people think of Ibiza as a party place but this is just a small part of the island. There are gorgeous beaches, lovely little villages and beautiful nature to be discovered.
Also, some stunning houses can be found on the island!
These images are all taken on Ibiza by German photographer Janne Peters. Enjoy!

This holiday home with beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea has been designed by Catalan architect José Luis Aloso Eijo. He created a harmonious place which seamlessly integrates into the natural landscape. The house consists of two large cubes, fully glazed to make the most of the breathtaking views of the skyline and the landscape. Rigor and minimalism are the best words to describe the choice of materials: polished concrete mixes with lime and slatted wood. The gorgeous outdoor areas are perfect for enjoying the lovely Spanish climate.

This beautiful South African beach house owned by Cape Town-based couple Pedro and Renée De Sambento was designed not only to melt into its surroundings but also to mirror the beauty of this particular stretch of coastline. An open-plan living area occupies most of the ground floor, which is shared by the master bedroom suite. A staircase leads to two en-suite bedrooms on the upper floor. There’s a swimming pool and – for long summer days and relaxed entertaining – a huge deck. Natural materials have been used to decorated the various spaces. I love how this home is calm and bright, just like the outdoor areas.
