Chirstmas in the Air #2

This is my second (and I'm sure it will not be the last) Christmas inspired post of the year. Previous posts <a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-in-air.html">here</a> and last year's posts can be found <a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas.html">here</a>,<a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2009/12/lovely-christmas-decorations.html"> here</a>, <a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2009/11/christmas-inspiration.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2009/12/joining-christmas-decorating-fun.html">this post</a> which is particularly lovely and has a beautiful, very simple and original decoration craft for my crafty friends. There is also a <a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2009/11/floating-christmas-tree-in-rio.html">floating Christmas tree</a> if you'd like to see it.<br /><br />Located on the outskirts of Madrid, this is a decidedly fun house. The owners, Carlos Arriaga who is a painter and photographer and his wife, an interior designer, created a cheerful home full of fun ideas. Tour time, sweets!<br /><br /><img name="modern living room" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_1g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 585px;" /><br />An original Christmas tree stands by one of the living room's big windows.<br /><br /><img name="day bed" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_2g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br />In nearly every room of the house you will see framed photographs and paintings by owner Carlos Arriaga.<br /><br /><img name="christmas tree" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_3g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br />The round side table was purchased in Florence, Italy.<br /><br /><img name="lovely vignette" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_9g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 502px;" /><br /><br /><img name="sunburst mirror" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_4g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 813px;" /><br />A collection of four mirrors in different styles above the white console table.<br /><br /><img name="foto" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/ideas_g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 812px;" /><br />A Charles IV chest and a Wassily chair for this reading nook.<br /><br /><img name="christmas decorations" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_5g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 812px;" /><br />Very lovely but highly unpractical white rug by the entrance door.<br /><br /><img name="modern christmas dining room" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_6g.jpg" style="width: 648px; height: 809px;" /><br />A more traditional Christmas tree in a corner of the kitchen's dining area.<br /><br /><img name="white kitchen" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_7g.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 813px;" /><br />The all white kitchen comes alive with bursts of shocking pink.<br /><br /><img name="contemporary bedroom" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_10g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 811px;" /><br />Plenty of storage room at the foot of the master bed.<br /><br /><img name="modern bedroom" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_11g.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 612px;" /><br />Painting by Esteban Arriaga.<br /><br /><img name="contemporary bathroom" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_12g.jpg" style="width: 648px; height: 809px;" /><br />Contemporary lines in the bathroom.<br /><br /><img name="happy christmas" src="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/unifamiliar/unifamiliar13/unifamiliar13_8g.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 812px;" /><br />Happy smiling faces.<br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.micasarevista.com/">here</a>.
