Ignacio García de Vinuesa oversaw every minute detail in the renovation of this old world building that is now this to-die-for home located in Madrid.  Windows, moldings, plaster cornices, ceiling rosettes, and even doors were not only salvaged but now blend beautifully with today’s world of modern design.

The main goal of the owners was to bring an air of 1940′s beach cottages to this formerly “egg yolk yellow with circus blue trimmed home”.

Those “to-die-for” mint green lamps are paired with more traditional furniture, globes, flamingos, retro signage, and framed […]
