Modern Vintage House

Before taking today's tour, I suggest you play a Beatles song which I think would go perfectly well with the style of this house. Spanish interior designer Teresa Abaitua combined mostly modern and vintage 1960's furniture with a few restored antiques and it is interesting to see how she made this mixture of styles work. Looking at these pictures really takes me back in time and, although not extremely psychedelic, I even expect to see Austin Powers in one of them!<br /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_1g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 519px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_2g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_3g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 519px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_4g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 520px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_5g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 813px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_6g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 451px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_7g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_8g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br />Loving the backsplash in the kitchen.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_9g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 476px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_10g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 813px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_11g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 477px;" /><br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar19/unifamiliar19_12g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 812px;" /><br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.micasarevista.com/">here</a>.

Villa on Bali

Put on your flip flops and flower necklace as we are going to the island of Bali to visit Annelies and Jean-Jacques Audureaus's home. This weather beaten house is actually quite new. Three very old typical Indonesian houses which originally stood on the neighbouring island of Java were taken down and the materials were used to build this home. Even the roof was made with old <span style="">tiles from a mosque, where they happily let the couple have them in exchange for a brand new roof.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/Bali_6.jpg" title="" /><br />Dining and lounging area on a deck around the pool. Notice how they replaced some of the tiles of the roof for glass to let more sunlight through. Mold on the wall evidences Bali's humid climate.<br /><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/bali_3.jpg" title="" /><br />European wallpaper and ethnic items found on Annelies's many trips to Asia.<br /><br /><img alt="Hus vid stranden i Seminyak på Bali." class="imagecache imagecache-illustration_large imagecache-default imagecache-illustration_large_default" height="290" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/illustration_large/illustrations/Bali.jpg" title="Bali in a jar." width="613" /><br />Annelies in her kitchen where glass jars and containers are displayed on shelves and wooden hutches.<br /></span><span style=""><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/Bali-7.jpg" title="" /></span><br />Detail of kitchen utensils hanging above the cooking range.<br /><br /><span style=""><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/Bali_4.jpg" title="" /><br />Very feminine room with floral fabric. The door openings have an angled top which adds interest to the rooms. </span><span style="">I'd really love to lie down on all those pillows on the rug. </span><br /><span style=""><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/Bali_7.jpg" title="" /><br />Small Indian style boxes.<br /><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/Bali_8.jpg" title="" /><br />Ornate Indonesian woodwork.<br /><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/Bali_5.jpg" title="" /><br />Black, white and grey bathroom. The tiles were custom made in Java.<br /><br /></span><span style=""><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/Bali_9.jpg" title="" /><br />This emerald green vignette with matching umbrellas and tin containers is in the porch.<br /><br /></span><span style=""><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" height="554" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/bali_2.jpg" width="380" /><br />A welcoming porch with a weathered dining table and different coloured wicker chairs.<br /><br />Sweets, I really hope you enjoyed this tour. Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments. I really look forward to them. Have a pleasant Tuesday and I'll be seeing you tomorrow.<br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.mixr.se/">here</a>.<br /><br /></span>
