Inspired Home Interiors

Last Home Tour of the Year!

To all my dear readers, I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! Mine was splendid, we celebrated at home and invited all our relatives over. It was a double celebration as only a few days before Christmas my eldest son sat for his last exam at university and is now an engineer!<br />Tomorrow we'll be going to a summer place called Chapadmalal where we will have no access to the Internet so I won't be posting again until we come back on January 16th.<br />So, as I won't be seeing you before, I'd like to wish you all now a very Happy New Year, and thank you for this wonderful inspired year together giving me support through your comments and cheering along which makes all my time spent on blogging definitely worth while! Thanks to each and every one of you, Happy New Year once again and I'll be seeing you soon!<br /><br />And, of course, before I leave, I give you this stunning house.<br /><br /><span id="result_box" class="long_text" lang="en"><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Nestled</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">in the</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">old village</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">of</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Champagne</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Sézanne</span><span title="Click for alternate translations">,</span> this <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">seventeenth century house </span><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps"></span><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">belonged to the</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Marquise</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">de Beauharnais,</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Marie</span><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="atn">-</span><span title="Click for alternate translations">Francoise</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps atn">(</span><span title="Click for alternate translations">whose</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">brother</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">married</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Josephine</span><span title="Click for alternate translations">, the future</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">empress</span><span class="" title="Click for alternate translations">), </span><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps"></span><span title="Click for alternate translations"></span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Pascale and</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">her</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">husband</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Oliver</span><span title="Click for alternate translations">,</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">bargain hunters</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">and passionate</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">decorators</span>, <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">created</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">a</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">family home</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">that opens</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">its doors</span> </span><span id="result_box" class="long_text" lang="en"><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">to the public </span></span><span id="result_box" class="long_text" lang="en"><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">twice a</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">year</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">to</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps"></span><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps"></span><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">display their items on sale.

Living room : 6 beautiful designs with fireplace.

Living room with a warm fire burning is so inviting right now. It is winter and I was looking for some new ways to rearrange the living room centered around the fireplace. Since much activities and conversations happen around the warm fire, I have in this post a collection of  living room designs with fireplace as the theme.<br /><br />The designs here are centered around the fireplace, are beautiful, elegant and perfect for comfort during winter months. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #ea9999;">Fire place adds a old world charm to any house.

Ready for Christmas in Stockholm

How nice it is to be home to spend my holiday with my family. I still have lots of things to do before Christmas but I'd like to show you this apartment in Stockholm before I start my busy day.<br /><br />Located in Östermalm, a large district in central Stockholm, Sweden, it is all ready for Christmas.

Farewell and a Lovely House in Spain

I'm starting my holidays tomorrow so I will not be posting every day as usual. Maybe once or twice a week. However, remember there are more than 500 previous posts to look at while I'm  gone, so you can catch up if you've missed any.<br /><br />So, before I start packing I'm giving you a second post today. A lovely house located in the Barrio de las Letras, in Madrid, Spain. Decorated by Estefanía Carrero with a mixture of styles, from modern to classic with rustic touches and full of interesting details and textures.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_6g.jpg" style="width: 652px; height: 521px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_1g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 520px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_2g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 520px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_3g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_4g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_5g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_7g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 521px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_8g.jpg" style="width: 654px; height: 817px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_9g.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 818px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_10g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 521px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_11g.jpg" style="width: 653px; height: 523px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_12g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 521px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/392/392_3_13g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 812px;" /><br /><br />Hope you enjoyed this second tour.
