María and her husband, Isidro, found the perfect refuge a few kilometers from their house in Barcelona: a charming 19th-century farmhouse, in the Baix Empordà, where the couple and their three children used to spend their vacations.

“We were very lucky,” María acknowledges, “her previous owner was an English lady who had just widowed and wanted to return to her country. He sold it at a very good price and, in addition, it was in perfect condition. ”And the house had already been renovated; the last time in the late 90s, by the architecture studio Auquer i Prats, experts in rehabilitating traditional buildings with typical materials of the area to achieve their full integration with the landscape.

You just had to change some details to adjust your aesthetic, too rustic and dark, for a new, more current image, but without losing an iota of its essence.

"We conserve almost everything, from the floors and the carpentry to the distribution, and we just expand one of the porches to make a dining area and a summer kitchen," Maria tells us.

To give more light to the house and, at the same time, bring a more fresh and friendly touch to the rustic style, the whole interior was painted white, including the ceilings that, in some areas of the house are ceramic vaults and in others They have wooden beams.

Doors and windows were also updated with paint in a very soft green tone; the same that is repeated both in the kitchen furniture and in the bathrooms, as well as in many of the textiles and accessories that fill all the rooms with freshness and naturalness.
Once the works were finished, Maria personally took care of the decoration of the farmhouse. Each corner of the house reflects your taste for combining chosen pieces from different eras, styles and finishes.

And from objects that they already had, from small finds in brocantes or antique stores, from carpets of vegetable fiber and from curtains made with fabrics that were brought from a trip to Morocco, Maria achieved a very serene and cozy rustic image.

ROOF WITH BEAMS
Whether wood, concrete or steel, painting them white, they will be integrated into the decoration. This finish is the most suitable to optically remove the ceiling and make the room seem wider. In environments with plastered walls and mud floors, the tone of the wood will create a beautiful contrast. In addition, if you review the interviews of the same material or finish, you will accentuate the feeling of warmth. The decorative polyurethane beams that mimic the wood are easily placed, maintenance free and resist moisture well. They are also a very practical resource for hiding electrical or heating installations, since they are hollow.




The ideal place to escape from stress and daily hustle and rest in one of the wonderful landscapes of the rugged Costa Brava.
