This is a bit of a different post for us. We haven't done anything in the house for two weeks (apart from our garden magically growing on its own) but we haven't stopped thinking about the house. We've been to Fuengirola, Ronda, Málaga and Madrid finding some inspiration.
Tiles at the Alcazaba in Málaga
A little alcove with an arch, maybe for candles? Or marmite jars?
More arches
and some nice plaster work
a little channel of water ran through all the gardens at the Alcazaba
Brackets at Palacio de Velázquez in Madrid. Not necessarily going to copy this art work in my house but I like the shapes and they would make great shadows on the wall.
Concrete staircase in Madrid's Caixa Forum. Obviously too massive for our little house but so lovely.
Admittedly it's not all necessary practical for the House of Love, we don't want to create a Moorish pastiche in a Victorian 2 up 2 down but it's nice to dream. And if it all goes wrong in Blighty we might run away to a finca in Spain.
