Clearly Fern Santini enjoys colours, patterns and layers and having fun with her spaces, as is evident in this Boulder, Colorado farmhouse she designed. She also cleverly mixes furniture from different eras to keep things from being too predictable. Lover her creativity. (Architect: Annette Martin, photos: Nick Johnson)

Es Bec D’Aguila is an exquisite Mediterranean estate (or finca) located in Menorca, in the Balearic Islands and is available for weekly rental. It started out in the 19th century when a family of Menorcan merchants built it as their  weekend getaway, and its current owners recently renovated it and brought it back to life. The original vaulted ceilings, handmade Cuban tiles, breathtaking landscape and gorgeous decor make this an absolute dream of a destination. (Photos: Karel Balas)

Can you see the sauna down the end of the garden?
– What? Where?
By the pool. Those lovely tiles.
– Oh! I was looking for an ugly orange pine box.

I am loving the overabundance of pattern in this Los Angeles home that brings in some global and contemporary vibes and makes it so fresh and homey. Moroccan encaustic tiles and textiles from India, Indonesia and Mexico come together in harmony here and add so much life. By Vidal Design Collaborative.

I have another villa to share with you with some serious Mediterranean vibes. Blues, greys and white are the colour scheme in this home in Capri by Swiss designer Jorge Cañete. This one has an other-worldly, magical aura that I have come to expect from Jorge’s projects (see here and here for more). Breathtaking.
