This was a one room space saving apartment, perfect for one person. The bed was a folding wall bed, Murphy style and the room had a little corner for a small desk. And of course, a small, romantic balcony.

A collection of really cool looking swimming pools. Probably because I am missing summer..
Named Jellyfish House, the three-storey concrete residence was designed by Wiel Arets Architects with a rooftop terrace and swimming pool to allow residents to swim and sunbathe with a view of the Mediterranean sea over neighbouring houses.
The Shaw House is located on a narrow waterfront property in Vancouver, Canada. It’s got views all across the bay to encompass the skyline of downtown Vancouver as well as the mountains on the North shore of the bay. The house designed by Patkau Architects.

Argentina seems to be the holy land of beautiful homes. This home by Andrés Remy Arquitectos was created for a young family who wanted to feel close to nature in an urban environment.
But the best looking of all has to be this Stradivarius look inspired pool:
Cipriano Landscape Design & Custom Swimming Pools completed a violin-shaped swimming pool for a client who wanted an exact replica in scale of a 1700s era Stradivarius violin with all of its detail and intricacies. All of the violin attributes were accounted for including purlflings, f-holes, a bridge, strings, a tailpiece, and a chin rest!
This was a small apartment in Tammisaari. One of the cutest small Finnish towns I have seen, with a beautiful old wooden center. If you get the chance, try to visit it! Especially in the summer..

I just love open space kitchens. Actually I am no longer a huge fan of doors... My dream house/apartment would be quite open. Perhaps a door on the bedroom. And glass walls on the private master bedroom's bathroom.
Otherwise, just give me SPACE. And a nice view. Like this one:
Wouldn't that be just the perfect view to see first thing when you open your door? And it's on an island... In Helsinki. What can be better?
