That means white and wood, and it's a combination you will find throughout this home in Spain.<br />Relaxing earth tones, lots of natural wood, different textures and interesting fabrics.

Old Mill Guesthouse

My messege yesterday might have been a bit confusing so I'll explain my comings and goings again: I'll be posting every day until this Friday, then there will be a couple of posts next week before Christmas. After Christmas and until January 24th I don't think I'll be able to post. C'est tout!<br /><br />And today we are visiting a restored mill in France. It has been turned into a guesthouse by Annie and Francois who also have a restaurant just steps away.Although some of the rooms have a modern edge which I really don't fancy, the rest of the house, the exterior and gardens are beautiful.<br />It is located in Alsace, close to Strasbourg, on the edge of the Vosges Natural Park.<br /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/le-moulin-du-xixe-siecle/310247-1-fre-FR/Le-moulin-du-XIXe-siecle.jpg" style="display: inline; width: 666px; height: 497px;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/le-canal-alimentant-le-moulin/310227-1-fre-FR/Le-canal-alimentant-le-moulin.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/felix-le-chat/310223-1-fre-FR/Felix-Le-chat.jpg" style="display: inline; opacity: 0.998459;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/le-jardin/310191-1-fre-FR/Le-jardin.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/le-petit-salon/310235-1-fre-FR/Le-petit-salon.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/les-plafonds-peints/310195-1-fre-FR/Les-plafonds-peints.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/la-salle-a-manger/310219-1-fre-FR/La-salle-a-manger.jpg" style="display: inline; opacity: 0.897472;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/la-grande-salle-a-manger/310203-1-fre-FR/La-grande-salle-a-manger.jpg" style="display: inline; opacity: 0.991864;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/table-de-repas-dressee/310215-1-fre-FR/Table-de-repas-dressee.jpg" style="display: inline; opacity: 0.9888;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/la-chambre/310231-1-fre-FR/La-chambre.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/la-salle-de-bains/310199-1-fre-FR/La-salle-de-bains.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/fenetre/310243-1-fre-FR/Fenetre.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/les-soubassements/310207-1-fre-FR/Les-soubassements.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/le-canal/310211-1-fre-FR/Le-canal.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br /><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="hps">Francis and</span> <span class="hps">Annie</span> <span class="hps">pose on the bridge while</span> <span class="hps">Napoleon and Cythare</span></span> couldn't care less.<br /><br /><img id="lightbox-image" src="http://cdn-dekio.ladmedia.fr/var/deco/storage/images/mon_jardin_ma_maison/reportages/maison/en-alsace-un-moulin-a-vivre/le-preau/310239-1-fre-FR/Le-preau.jpg" style="display: inline;" /><br />Hope you enjoyed!
