Και ποιος δε θα ήθελε να έχει ένα όμορφο εξοχικό όπου να απολαμβάνει στιγμές χαλάρωσης και ηρεμίας στην άδειά του;
Το σημαντικό όμως είναι να έχει και την άνεση της μόνιμης κατοικίας μας.
Αν σκέφτεστε να ανακαινίσετε το εξοχικό σας σπίτι , πάρτε μερικές ιδέες από αυτά τα σπίτια που δημοσιεύει το houseandhome.com και αναδιαμορφώστε τους χώρους σας με κοχύλια, κοράλια, ανοιχτά έντονα χρώματα, γήινες αποχρώσεις και καλοκαιρινά αξεσουάρ.
Θα ανανεώσετε όχι μόνο τους χώρους του σπιτιού σας αλλά και την διάθεσή σας και δεν θα θέλετε να τελειώσει ποτέ το καλοκαίρι...
