Will you be watching the World Cup this year? I always ‘watch’ in the same way: Day 1: This is awesome! Day 10:…these games are still on?? Final Day: Agh! This is awesome, is someone having a party, where are we watching?! But I have an idea, maybe if I post on Brazilian design every now and then during the games, I’ll actually keep interested?
So, in honor of the World Cup fever I have (this week) and the games kicking off tomorrow in Brazil, I thought we’d look at a beach home in Brazil. The coastal town of Trancoso is in the east and lies between two of the host cities (Salvador and Belo Horizonta).
The homeowners enjoy receiving friends on a regular basis and the design reflects this in the common areas- like the living room with its tall (6m/20ft) ceilings and its outdoor dining space amid lush flora. The guest room (pictured below) may be my favorite. It is serene in white and has a door leading into a small garden area.
I can already feel the coolness of the tiles beneath my feet as I sip on my caipirinha. Go World Cup!

Besos
That bedroom is so marvelously romantic. And I have really got to catch the games – I haven’t fallen into any of the hype yet
that home is absolutely gorgeous. that’s what i’d really love. aside from all the other things i dream and post about i’d really love an airy and bright and beautiful home somewhere south of the boarder (or france or italy – though i really should stick with spanish speaking countries). xo
Houses like these sometimes make me wish we didn’t have a Victorian…
