This beautiful house in Cape Town, South Africa, is only 125 square feet but it is big enough for the owners and their two cats. For them it is the perfect hide away from their busy schedule.
The house is spread over two floors. Upstairs is a loft bedroom that leads onto a small terrace overlooking the garden, while the guest bedroom downstairs is tucked away under the staircase, along with the bathroom.
The outdoor area is great for entertaining and for enjoying a sundowner.
The open plan living room, dining area and kitchen are situated around the garden in a lovely L-shape.
The house is fitted with designer pieces but also custom made furniture created by a carpenter.

This newly built summer house, designed by architect Mette Lange, is located in North Zealand, Denmark. The large windows and sliding doors offer excellent views on the nearby lake.
The interior is kept simple with main colors being white and black.
The house offers plenty of room for the entire family. There are bunk beds (bottom right image) for the two daughters.
From the open plan kitchen there is a clear view of the entire living room with a cosy fireplace in the rear wall.

After all those beautiful Spanish summer houses that I have been featuring in the past few days it is time for something else! This week we have a look at some Scandinavian houses.
Especially in Sweden a lot of people have a small summer house which they visit during the summer months.

As promised, another gorgeous Spanish home today! Also this house, that I found through French by Design, in located on Formentera.
It belongs to Eugenia, who works as a fashion model but she could also be an interior decorator. She did a fantastic job decorating this fabulous place. Isn’t this kitchen with gorgeous wooden table to die for?!
I love the rustic vibe. The rug, the pillows in various patterns and colors, the wooden furniture … everything fits perfectly.
The bedroom has a serene atmosphere, with beautiful black and white bedspreads. The outdoor areas (image below + top image) are perfect for outdoor eating and relaxing. I could picture myself there zipping from a cocktail!

These beautiful cabanas, located not far from Lisbon, Portugal, are made from wood and straw. When designing the three cottages, Lisbon architects João and Pedro Ferreira de Almeida Pinto were inspired by local fishermen huts. Each cottage opens onto a huge deck facing the pine dunes.
The beautiful large shutters doors can let the sun in or out. The large table and benches made of resin (lower right image) are made from resin. The sheltered terrace (pic below) is a great place for relaxing and outdoor eating.

Today I’m loving … these lights wrapped around trees. This fairy tale like setting is part of a Southern Mexican wedding location.

After weeks of rain we finally have a sunny day here in The Netherlands! Perfect weather to spend time in the garden. Here are some images from our garden (in full bloom) and home that I took this morning.

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.
That huge fire place, those beams … everything is just gorgeous!
The use of natural materials and the choice of furniture and accessories suit this house perfectly.
The bedroom (below) is simple but stylish.
I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful house as much as I have! Happy Friday everyone!
