Gorgeous home in Spanish Mediterranean

I have no words to describe this perfect home. I love how it's casual, open, with amazing views, and a great mix of rustic and modern. I'm also in love with all the textures. Just a perfect home for the weekend.

In other news, tomorrow I go back to my woodshop class... so excited!

Amazing Castle in South Italy

This gorgeous place is home to a Danish couple. Apparently they found a small castle in South Italy, and they decided to stay there for good. Who wouldn't, I ask?

Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Sweet Jar Lanterns - Simple Tutorial

Longer days, warmer weather, everything is perfect for the lovely, summer outdoors. After working on a candle catalogue production these last couple of days, I came up with an easy DIY project to share in Casa Haus. Being such a lighting fan (especially candle lighting), I've been pretty busy coming up with this easy tutorial.

 I hope you enjoy it!

I love this DIY because it is really easy, and it's just as good for both home and party decor. Plus, it's eco-friendly. Win-win situation here!

So let's start, shall we?

Here's what you'll need:

• Clean and empty jars.
• Tea or votive candles.
• Metal wire (mine was 24 gage)
• Wire cutters

Cut 1 yard of wire and wrap it under the lip, forming a tight ring.

 Twist the wire together to close the ring.

Twist all your way up.

Bend the twisted wire over the top forming a handle.

Carefully introduce the wire's tip into the opposite side of the ring. This is a little tricky, since the ring must be tight, but be patient!

Bend the wire up and twist some more to finish.

This is an extra step, but it's totally worth it. Hotglue flowers or foliage (artificial works just as good).



That's it! Now just place the tea candle inside, and hang them around.  I love the way they look in my parents' garden.


Enjoy your week!

For those of you coming from Kate's Spring/Summer link party,

I hope you enjoy it around Casa Haus!!!

Amazing Terrace

Hi there! How you doin'? I had the busiest, most unbearable day in months. Full non-stop. In these moments, I'm wishing for something like this all for myself.

Oh, how I need this! What would I do here, you ask? Hmmmm, let's see. I guess I could  take a nap, read books, devour design magazines, and then have a mojito with my amorcito if I tried. Still, tomorrow (I should be saying today) is going to be just as yesterday, so I hope to recover this weekend. All I know for fact is we're using our brand new camera for the first time. I'm so excited!!!

What are you up to this weekend?

Scandinavian Space

Details are very important when decorating, because they help balancing spaces and giving them character and personality. This flatn in Copenhagen is full of accesories and great styling details, which contrast beautifully with the white. Can you find any favorites?

I love the dark colored flowers, following the black-and-white concept, especially how they keep the flat masculine. Pretty interesenting, don't you think?

Yesterday was Earth Day, and hence some inspirational works on green roofs and vertical gardens done mostly in Mexico. I love the idea of creating gorgeous, green spaces that not only are eco-friendly, but they actually do something for the environment. I wish I had a green roof at home! Happy long weekend for all.
