A glam Hollywood Hills home that somehow manages to also feel down to earth

Usually I hear "Hollywood Hills" and it instantly conjures up images in my head of tacky, over the top glamor, or a super-cold modern house. This house by Nate Berkus Associates surprised me though, because it's rustic touches and happy embracing of color keeps it warm and lovely.

Adore the Moroccan rug and striped floors...and the ceiling!

Dream kitchen.  Love the saddle-like stools and the potrack

Love the colors in this dining room.  It's so cozy and intimate

Don't miss this post - the gorgeous doors of Segovia, Spain

For my frequent readers, you'll know that my boyfriend is living in Spain this year, where he's teaching English, and in turn, perfecting his Spanish. He lives in Segovia, which I visited in October and January, and the historic part of the town is beautiful as a fairy tale.

I immediately took to the charming, personal, and beautifully antiquated architecture. You might remember the post I did back in December about antique Spanish doors. Well, I thought it'd be fun to show you the real thing (some are old, some look old, and some are new). Enjoy!

























Gorgeous, no?!
