Here are two wonderful pieces of furniture from the Tresserra Collection that offer a place to work and play. The Carpett small flip top writing desk combines the old world appeal of a light Walnut wood exterior and Sycamore interior with the clean modern feel of a simple glass structure. The Carpett secretary desk also features silver platted fittings and peccary straps with some nice drawers and compartments inside for the bills of course. When the work is done the Martinez Bar will gladly open its arms and offer you a beverage to relax with at the end of a long day. Once again designer Jaime Tresserra makes the best of a compact area by using all of the available space for drink glasses, bar accessories, and bottle storage. The stylish Martinez Bar features light and dark Walnut, fold out surface, Simil ivory inlays, stainless steel fittings, ice bucket, and stainless steel trays.

A wall hung bathroom vanity is great in how it can remain unobtrusive in how it takes up space in bathroom design. They often appear a bit more petite as in the "Strela" featured here from Kohler. Strela's cabinet comes in a light antique walnut finish meshed with a stark white sink basin. The faucet is concealed nicely it how it comes out of the wall and fits as part of the overall decorative theme of the bathroom. Via.
Here an unassuming vertical chest / jewelry cabinet that has a great deal of quality and detailing packed into a very small foot print. Designer Jaime Tresserra of the Tresserra Collection puts focus on the craftsmanship rather than the bottom line that usually results in constraints and the sacrifice of beauty. I am extremely impressed with this collection and the obvious passion that goes into each piece. One of my favorites from the line is the "El Coleccionista" tall chest that features a flip up mirror, concealed lock, dark and light Walnut construction, gunmetal silver and nickel fittings, and hazelnut Vaquetilla leather containers within some of it various sized storage and jewelry drawers. If you are into the best things in life you must see the rest of the Tresserra Collection of fine furniture here.

The Greek Islands are certainly one of the most beautiful places on earth and the thought of living there full time would be dream come true to many people. The quaint house in this article is a Greek Islands home in Santorini that sits in a small village called Emboreio. The house has two full bedrooms and two cave bedrooms allowing it to accommodate several guests. You can see a cave bedroom in one of the photos as the ceiling is very low and the stucco is molded like a cave ceiling. The Santorini home is constructed of white stucco that is a local favorite as it weathers the moisture from the Aegean Sea well. There is also a pool in the courtyard to allow you to soak up that wonderful Greek sun. Price: €185,000. (Note: the listing shows it being listed at €312,000 but, the realtor wrote me back and informed me that the price has been reduced).Via.

A new product from Kohler, the Rêve modern pedestal sink and toilet attempts to modernize a bathroom through shape and simplicity. The shape of the bathroom fixtures lend itself to a very "new" feel accentuated by the boxy pedestal and overall look of the toilet. I do like the look a great deal and applaud their new effort here in making an age old product look as though it has been redesigned for the next generation. Via.
