Post # 500! And a Summer House in Costa del Sol

Dear readers, this is my post number 500. And guess what we are going to do to celebrate? You guessed! House tour, Yayy!!<br /><br />So, off we go to Costa del Sol, in Spain, to tour interior designer Vanda Jewiss's summer house. With stunning views of both the sea and mountains she restored it together with architect Eduardo Dorissa.<br /><br />I think I love every single thing about this house. The Gustavian furniture, the beams, the rustic floor... and I especially love the dining room. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Have a happy weekend my friends!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/con-un-romantico-estanque/exterior/jardin/438678-1-esl-ES/Jardin_large.jpg" style="width: 426px; height: 500px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/con-un-romantico-estanque/exterior/porche-1/438682-1-esl-ES/Porche-1_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/con-un-romantico-estanque/exterior/porche-2/438686-1-esl-ES/Porche-2_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/un-distribuidor-con-chimenea/distribuidor/distribuidor/438698-1-esl-ES/Distribuidor_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/un-distribuidor-con-chimenea/distribuidor/entrada/438702-1-esl-ES/Entrada_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/clasico-en-blanco-y-azul-celeste/salon/salon-1/438714-1-esl-ES/Salon-1_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/clasico-en-blanco-y-azul-celeste/salon/salon-2/438718-1-esl-ES/Salon-2_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/una-gran-mesa-de-olivo-ante-la-chimenea/comedor/comedor-1/438730-1-esl-ES/Comedor-1_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/una-gran-mesa-de-olivo-ante-la-chimenea/comedor/comedor-2/438734-1-esl-ES/Comedor-2_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/un-office-entre-lo-clasico-y-lo-rustico/cocina/cocina-con-office/438746-1-esl-ES/Cocina-con-office_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/un-office-entre-lo-clasico-y-lo-rustico/cocina/isla/438750-3-esl-ES/Isla_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/una-cama-con-corona-para-los-invitados/dorm.-invitados/dorm.-invitados/438762-1-esl-ES/Dorm.-invitados_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/una-cama-con-corona-para-los-invitados/dorm.-invitados/zona-estar/438766-1-esl-ES/Zona-estar_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/una-gran-chimenea-a-los-pies-de-la-cama/dorm.-principal/dormitorio-y-chimenea/438807-1-esl-ES/Dormitorio-y-chimenea_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/una-gran-chimenea-a-los-pies-de-la-cama/dorm.-principal/dormitorio/438811-1-esl-ES/Dormitorio_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/amplio-luminoso-y-con-salida-al-balcon/bano/bano-con-balcon/438823-1-esl-ES/Bano-con-balcon_large.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/de-campo/homenaje-a-la-luz-del-sur/amplio-luminoso-y-con-salida-al-balcon/bano/banera/438827-1-esl-ES/Banera_large.jpg" /><br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.elmueble.com/">here</a>.

Coastal House in Spain

Two brothers inherited a large two story house on the coast of Spain. It had been their childhood home and now that each had their own family, instead of selling it, they decided to split it vertically down the middle and make two homes, one for each family.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_1g.jpg" style="width: 599px; height: 502px;" /><br />Huge windows provide lots of light in the eclectic sitting room. Sea-grass rug.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_2g.jpg" /><br />On the other side of the living room a limestone fireplace with a polished wood mantel adds warmth. I like the little guy resting on a block of wood on the wall.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_3g.jpg" /><br />Instead of the usual console table, a distressed vintage post office filing unit.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_4g.jpg" /><br />Different style Thonet chairs in the dining room.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_5g.jpg" /><br />Black and white diamond and octagon tiles for the kitchen floor.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_6g.jpg" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_7g.jpg" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_9g.jpg" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_10g.jpg" /><br />Soft palette in the master bedroom.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_11g.jpg" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/duplex/duplex4/duplex4_12g.jpg" style="width: 602px; height: 642px;" /><br />Lots of storage space under these custom made beds. Norman Rockwell prints on the wall. Nice number of pillows for a great pillow fight!<br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.micasarevista.com/">here</a>.
