Guest House in France

We are back in Peru after our lovely winter holidays in Argentina. I thought it was going to be freezing cold but we had remarkably good weather.
Lets go on another home tour.
It took six years to restore this guest house called Un Coeur très Nature, and located in the valley of Vidourle, in southern France.

Guest Home in France

Good morning, my friends. My husband and I are leaving tomorrow on a 12 day work and holiday trip to Switzerland. We will be visiting Venice too the weekend before we come back. This is my second visit to Switzerland and my first to Venice. If any of you have suggestions of places I shouldn't miss or things I should do please leave a comment here. I would very much appreciate it!

Today I'd like to show you a restored eighteenth century barn which is now a guest house. Located in the village of Saint-Hilaire-sur-Helpe, in France, it was decorated by its owner Chantal in very relaxing tones of grey, sand, and brown. Scandinavian style all over.





































By the way, I'm leaving tomorrow evening so I hope to put up my last post tomorrow morning. I doubt very much that I'll be able to post while I'm away. Oh, and I'll be back on the 15th. Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow.

Guest Post: Bathrooms

Good morning, dear readers. Today we are having a guest post with advice on contemporary bathrooms written by Adam Lee from bathrooms.com.

What should you include in a modern bathroom?

Putting together a modern bathroom can be a really satisfying task – but what exactly should you include in the room?

The suite

It almost goes without saying that when it comes to bathrooms, one of the most important components is the bathroom suite. Typically, this will comprise of a toilet, basin, bath and/or shower, depending on the space you have available and your preferences when it comes to bathing.

Modern bathroom suites can come in a variety of colours and are often characterised by clean lines and shapes, so this is something to look out for when you’re making your choice. Chrome accessories (such as the shower head) are also popular.

The furniture

Another thing to include in a modern bathroom is bathroom furniture. Most often, this can be expected to include a cabinet and countertop, although you could also consider other styles and designs too.

The furniture can be a good chance to add a touch of style to the room, such as by deciding whether you want to have a freestanding cabinet or a wall-mounted one. You can also pick from options such as mirrored cabinets and different shades of wood, depending on the sort of thing you prefer.

A touch of you

Finally, we might be able to identify certain characteristics of a modern bathroom, but they are also all unique as well. With this in mind, when you’re decorating your bathroom, you might like to think how you can add a touch of your own style to your room. This could include a splash of colour in your choice of bathroom cabinet or a statement wall painted a bright colour – either way, you’ll be adding your own contemporary twist to really make your bathroom your own.

Hope you are all having a great Wednesday. Until tomorrow, my friends!
