The favorite flower of the home owners of this beautiful home in Lucca, Italy is the magnolia flower. Perhaps this is why they decided to take this color as the theme for the interior of their home where they live with their two daughters.
The ground floor apartment is located in a 17th century building which was originally used as a textile factory. The kitchen chairs in the images above are from IKEA. Sheer curtains separate the kitchen from the dining area.
The main color in the house is white varying from bright white to beige and silver tones.
The mirror reflects the main entrance of the house located at street level.
Thank you Lorenzo for sending me the link!

‘t Japanse Winkeltje (in English: little Japanese shop) in Amsterdam is a gallery space, shop and Japanese culture centre housed on three separate floors. Amsterdam based NEZU AYMO Architects have provided this shop with a total makeover, creating a playful interior with tactile qualities, surprising use of materials and a subtle sense of japaneseness.
The interior walls and ceilings on all floors are covered in natural materials. One side of the shop features undulating fabric shelves and on the other side loops of white mesh made of paper yarn soaked in rice water surround the wooden shelves.
Address: Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 177, Amsterdam

This stunning house is located on Filicudi, one of eight islands that make up the Aeolian archipelago (Italy). Many of the beautiful summer houses that I showed here on the style files are on this small island. Are all the houses (& views) that gorgeous over there? Time for a trip I guess!
Isn’t this the best place to enjoy a cocktail at sunset? What a view!
The decoration in the rooms is simple, yet stylish.
Loving this shade of blue! And the little cat is gorgeous too..

These beautiful images are from a first anniversary dinner party organised by Amarology Wedding. The photos are shot by Jill Thomas. I love the setting in the orange groves in North County San Diego, USA.
Amorology Weddings about the styling of the event: “We wanted it to be as if each couple brought their own elements from their wedding. So there are lots of colors, different chairs, even different plates. We imagined them sharing their own personal touches at the dining table and creating a tapestry of textures, mix and match china patterns, hand-stitched napkins and dining chairs from each of the couples trusso as we set a charmingly elegant table.”

Danish label by nord, known for their nature inspired designs, has some gorgeous new pillows in their collection. In the image above you can see their beautiful owl pillow.
I now have a large garden in which I am creating a vegetable garden, but I used to have a small balcony. For people with small gardens or balconies the designs from French label Bacsac are a great solution to grow vegetables and plants.
Bacsac was born when French designer Godefroy de Virieu met landscapers Louis de Fleurieu and Virgile Desurmont. Together, they searched for an alternative solution to avoid the constraints of creating a roof garden in town (taking into consideration difficulties of transport, excessive weight, etc).
Bacsac comes in various sizes so it can be hung on the wall, hung on you or strapped to your car. Bacsac’s durable material will keep it looking pretty for years to comes, as it is UV and traction/tear resistant. The Bacsac is perfect for gardening in small places as it allows the plants to breathe because of its permeability and its water draining attributes.
Today we make another trip to Italy! This stunning house is located on the island of Ponza, in the Lazio region in Italy. I’m loving the ethnic atmosphere in the house.
