For the first time in two years, we took a holiday and we went to Greece. Living in the North, with all the beautiful summers (and it can be really, really beautiful) does make one miss warm beaches and blue waters sometimes.
Not to flood this blog with travel photos, I will stick to architecture and interiors. Let's start with Achilleion, a summer "cottage" built by Emperor Franz Josef for his wife Sissi, on the island of Corfu.
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 small, new apartment in the heart of Tallinn.
One evening we were browsing with my husband, and from one search to another, we came up with a new small business idea.

After a lot of Pinterest browsing and (let's be honest here) a bit of drooling, I managed to collect some ideas and inspiration for outdoor terraces and hangout spots.
All pictures from Pinterest, they are not mine.

Oh the girly girl in me would love this.. Not sure we will ever get to do it, it's so much work and probably maintenance and let's face it, not too practical. Who has a chandelier in a garden house? But it's pretty!
This could be quite easy to build and have a small spot to kickstart the garden in spring.
Love the tree slices as a path... I just wonder if it's possible to have them in this very moist and rainy climate, without them rotting. Maybe it could work inside the greenhouse.
Maybe rocks instead. We certainly have no shortage of rocks in the land... Without the griffin statue though.
Need this! There are so many birds here. Ok, there is not much shortage of water in any season, but maybe with a bird feeder and water together.
Could be a nice corner on the terrace near the house. Good spot to hide from the wind too. Love the big mirror and old looking stone flower pots.
Absolutely yes for this one! In this climate, it would warm the house on sunny days and it would be a great spot to have your coffee during most of the year! Full of greens of course. And flowers. And a small iron cast table with iron chairs around. Maybe a chandelier. Or maybe not.
Great way to have greens growing. I am thinking a lot of basil, coriander, thyme, salvia, parsley, mint, lovage, dill and some others I haven't discovered yet.
Some stairs inspiration photos. They are not my photos, they were picked up from Pinterest.
Would love the nice closet under the stairs.
Probably the pantry is more likely to happen, knowing myself and my husband. Or a wine storage. Definitely a wine storage.
