BALIQUE RESTAURANT - JIMBARAN, BALI

Today I'm happy to share with you a new found restaurant, and this one is on my list for a visit when I'll be back in Bali in a few months time -  I've been meaning to go head back to that blissful Isle for some time now - and having this to look forward to is perhaps just what was needed to get me focused and back on track and into this thing called life again!

So back to Balique Restaurant - you will find this Vintage Cafe/ Restaurant in Jimbaran, along Jalan Raya Uluwatu.  I love the colourful vintage feel - perfectly combined with slightly paired down wall and floor finishes;  lanterns and lampshades a plenty - and authentic perhaps oldie worldy take - and don't we all love spaces that can transport us to another age or era even.

One for the list - this one is for sure!

LIMASEN ELLIE BY STUDIO MAGNOLIA, BALI

I love everything about this home!  Its a traditional Limasen which have been tastefully redesigned for a Finnish family who now live in Bali

Alejandra Cisneros is the architect behind this wonderful project, light, airy and open - and if you; like me, like anything and everything from this corner of the world - you'd love her other projects too

I stumbled upon Alejandra's work by pure chance.  I was searching google, as one does - for Architects in Ubud - and this amazing 'architect designed airbnb in ubud' appeared in my results.  For the next hour or so I was practically glued to my laptop - planning my big escape and dreaming about living in a beautiful Joglo or Limasen in Ubud or Sidemen or anywhere in Bali or beyond.  Fortunate for us, Alejandra is sharing her beautiful work with the rest of us - and she has a couple of truly unique AirBnB's we can spend a magical few days in.  The only slight problem is .... which one to choose!

You would also love her other architectural projects which you are welcome to visit here at Studio Magnolia - and do set some time aside you will be inspired and ready to book that flight to Bali - that I can guarantee you!

Happy day dreaming - and wishing you a good night

CASA TIBA - TRANCOSO BRAZIL BY TERRY MORICEAU REAL ESTATE

Today I'm taking you on a journey to the Bahia coast of Brazil to a beach town called Trancoso.  There you will find Casa Tiba a beautiful beach house in white and wood with triangular louvres and pieces of Aventurine line the pool.

Terry Moriceau fell in love with Trancoso and here you'll find his first home Casa Tiba
Formerly the studio of ceramist, Joao Jose Calazans - the spaces were muffled, almost no windows and 2 burning ovens.   Architect Daniela de Oliveira redesigned the house in order to create more open spaces which are at different levels and connected by and separated by steps.  The triangular louvres were preserved and reintroduced to allow more natural light flow within the home....

Leading a simple life in paradise - the owner said 'I'm quite happy here'

Another beautiful property to add to my staycation wish list
