Too Pretty To Just Eat
I kid you not, some people do live inside of Pinterest or Instagram. Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of stepping into such a home.
I don't mean this in a bad way whatsoever by the way. I know there's a negative connotation associated with people's Instagram life, but seriously this couple are just like that. I doubt they're even on Instagram at all.
The lady is a cousin of my host's, so we went over to their house to say hi. From the minute we arrived in front of their home, I knew I was in for a visual treat. I'm not going to post any photos of their home because they're actually quite private, so I respect that.
She lives there with her husband and their toddler. It's even more impressive to think they have a toddler, yet are able to keep such a stylish home.
Interior design is a hobby of hers, but I'm convinced she could go into the business successfully. From what I saw, she's got the skills. He, the husband, "has no idea about any of that design stuff. His wife makes everything look beautiful, and he's grateful for it". He's a middle-manager at the local factory.
The coffee, made by the husband, was in classic Italian style - with the concentrated shots of espresso in a small cup. The deserts were also home made, even though they looked as though the dropped out of the pages of a food magazine.
"Do you mind if I take photos before I eat this?" - that was me and my phone :) . I thought it was all too pretty to just eat.
At that point we had a discussion about how good the light was in the house. The big windows, bright neutral coloured walls, happy colours, everything. I think she appreciated the fact that I noticed the little details.
I don't know if it's customary, or it was because of my apparent interest, but they offered to show us around the house.
She works from home, and has a very nice looking workspace I would love to record videos from. A lot of natural light, natural wood furniture and fabrics in muted colours.
The real masterpiece, however, is their bathroom. They've got a free standing bath in the middle of what looks like a wet room. There were several shower heads at ceiling level that looked like lights. You can pick a section of the ceiling your want the water to come from so you could in theory have two showers going. The overall decor was simply superb with hints of Iberian-North African influence.
When Steem moons and I build a house from scratch somewhere warm, I may just give her a call to see if she can help me make the place look half decent.
Peace and Love ✌🏿

Ynd in that conversation you told them about Steemit or you entertained yourself tasting those delicious sweets and that colorful coffee.
Everything looks really delicious. thanks for sharing.
My dream is to have a fully functional office space at home as well. I have a desk but nothing that I could really depend on every day!
