Ok. So my last post was a tad kitschy – a bit of a diversion from the kinds of spots I usually gravitate towards. I’m still in Caribbean mode, after all.
But, I do have travel on my mind. I’ve had some pretty incredible trips to Spain over the years and I keep finding spots that make me want to return.
i.e. the entire site of Ábaton architects.
Where to begin? One property is more lovely than the next. But, let’s start here: a converted barn in Extramadura – a Western part of Spain.
I mean, really…can you believe this place?
Designed by architect Rita Huys of Buro2 and beautifully photographed by Danica. O. Kus, this modern barn house is one of those homes that I’ll keep on file for years and years in the hopes of one day being able to source for inspiration.
Absolutely gorgeous.
I spent the weekend in Vermont – another spot that has a real emotional connection for me. It had been a while since I’d breathed in that fresh Green Mountain air. I seriously miss it!
I saw my fair share of red barns in person. But I thought I’d share a few here as well.

We are oh so close to starting our new house build. As such, I’ve been doing a lot of digging for design ideas. I have to be careful not to waste entire afternoons searching through architecture and design sites. There’s just so much great stuff out there that it’s easy to lose track of time….and focus. Although I was on the lookout for great kitchen designs, I recently found myself drooling over country homes.
Wouldn’t it be nice to call one of these spots home?
