September in Spain

Ola! I'm back from a trip overseas we're Peter and I spent 3 exciting weeks jetting about and seeing the sights of Madrid, Ibiza, Barcelona and Amsterdam. I love to see the world and how different each country is and how the people live. Spent the most time in Ibiza as I was there for my dear friends wedding. A group of us stayed in a big 2 storey white stone villa in the countryside of Sant Carlos. I loved the look of the white walls, potted succulent and cactus gardens against the contrasting red stoned earth. I plan to bring a bit of the holiday home with us and put some of the Spanish design into our own house and garden.

This is the outside oven which we fired up and made pizzas

The villa at the back, outside oven to the right and laundry to the left

Had an amazing time but in the words of Dorothy there's no place like home and it's so good to be back in Aussie Land. Now to catch up on some blog reading, hope everyone is well and happy.

  1. Thanks for your message Michelle, it sure takes time to renovate doesn't it! Actually the reno's didn't take too long, it's the decorating that is taking me time.

    What a great place you stayed at, I love Spain.

    Nice to meet you :)

  2. I've been in my place a whole year now and still dont feel like I've completely finished any one room yet. Still on the hunt for the finishing touches. Although decorating is more fun and less hard work than the painting and sanding!
    Yes it was gorgeous. Thanks.
    Happy decorating!

  3. Wow, your holiday sounds amazing. I love Spain although have only seen Madrid, Barcelona and San Sebastian so far. I really want to go down to the south of Spain.
