Breathless. That’s what a beautiful interior makes me feel. And sometimes even speechless. I know that this is difficult to believe (the speechless part), but it’s true.

I came across a copy of Architectural Digest magazine (Spanish edition) on my colleague’s desk a little while ago and I got distracted from whatever I was doing as I saw quite a few images which made me feel… well, breathless. I ended up adding the magazine to my enormous pile of “things to scan” for a couple of months. Once I finally got around to scanning the pages I liked, it took another couple of months until I did something with those images. Why does some stuff take me so long to get on with? I wish I could be super efficient with absolutely everything I do.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this post which has been “in the making” for around 5 month. And thank you Mary for buying the magazine in the first place.

    Perfect way to start the week. These pics just do me in. The kitchen. The rockwall with the green pool. The 2nd bedroom pic with the big art and the Eames chair (have one of those in my bedroom too!!!). The timber screens. The large outdoor/indoor lounge (I mean, how many friends would it take to fill that huge couch). Thanks Dana. Always a visual treat from Yellowtrace (-:
