casa can mares on ibiza

Casa-Can-Mares1.jpg

Today another summer home on Ibiza, Spain! This home is more classic than the other houses I have featured but still has a rustic atmosphere that I love. I hope you enjoy looking into these kind of holiday homes as I have a lot more to be featured here on the style files in the coming weeks!

And we will continue the series of posts about Moroccan tiles. The tiles featured here are from Fired Earth. This British company specialises in an array of interiors products including floor and wall tiles, paint, wallpaper, bathrooms, kitchen furniture, handwoven rugs and wood flooring. Their focus is on sourcing the highest quality products from around the world. And their eclectic collections are often inspired by their travels, for example you can see Moroccan influences in their Marrakech tile range (images above and below).

Each of these tiles is hand-made and hand-antiqued; a layer of stain is applied to the surface and the edges distressed to give an aged appearance.

xo in my room

xoinmyroom1.jpg

XO-in my room is a new Spanish (thanks Agata!) furniture label for kids. It is a venture of three brothers who have combined their passion for well designed furniture, their love for high quality materials and their craftsmanship and started designing and making beautiful children’s furniture. Between the three of them they have 10 children so you can say that they are experts on the subject!

beautiful rugs

sunny colors

I received some questions about this colorful rug. The Kiara rug is from Anthropologie and it is available in various sizes. I especially love the color combination.

a home on antiparos, greece

holiday1.jpg

Today’s summer home is not on Formentera for a change! This white & blue house is located on Antiparos, one of the Greek island belonging to the Cyclades, a group of island in the Aegean archipelago. Katerina Vordoni designed this house which is built in the shape of “W”. The spaces are not large and the decor is simple but the house is cozy and what else do you need on a beautiful island.
