White Walls and Lots of Color All Around

I love a house with predominantly white walls and with little pops of color here and there. Well, this house does not have little pops of color but lots of color all around but I love it just the same. I love the mix of colors, not tacky at all, but gives the place a feeling of liveliness and vibrancy. Its high white painted ceilings give this place a more relaxed ambiance and the lamps that hang on them are so lovely... What's your take on this house? Lovely or too much color? Do share your thoughts.

An Old Oil Mill Transformed to a Rustic and Warm Home

click images to enlarge

This place is used to be an old oil mill in Extremadura, Spain. I love the rustic and warm feel of this house. The successful rehabiltation of this oil mill of the twelfth century was carried by Architect Ricardo Elizondo who kept the spirit of the old oil mill by saving and using the old roof, plaster walls and original stone which definitely added to the charm of this house. Most of the furniture are made of natural materials and in some parts of the house they use restored ancient woods. The dining room, bedroom and kitchen are my favorite spaces in this house as old and new elements are mixed to create a very lovely living environment. The artworks are also a sight to behold. Enjoy your virtual trip of this rustic and warm home.

Man Candy Monday: Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp is my Man Candy this week. He may not be as gorgeous as he is decades ago but the man still got what it takes to be on top of Hollywood. After all these years I'm still captivated by this man and he can still make my heart go pitter-patter and not only that my ten-year old son loves him too. How cool is that? And need I remind everyone of him being chosen by People as Sexiest Man Alive twice, in 2003 and 2009.

I will not put anymore information regarding his body of work nor about the women he dated, we are all quite familiar with those tidbits but rather I would just share with you loads of images of Mr. Cool himself, Johnny Depp, through the years. ~~Drool away~~ Enjoy ladies!
