Tchochkes

Obviously green in this otherwise neutral neighborhood, this small house makes a statement.  The house, recently featured in the April issue of ”Itsuv (Design)magazine”; located in a Moshave in the Sharon was designed by architect Shuli Beimel.

An orchard once stood in the spot of this new neighborhood and adding back some green keeps history fresh in the minds of surrounding neighbors.

From the front you can see the natural wood entrance door.  I think the combination of wood with the stone of the outside wall and walkway works well. 

Adding a lively mosaic or decorative accent to the entrance creates a natural welcome to any home.  This mosaic by artist Merav Feglin draws inspiration from the nature outside to guide us in.

 Red kitchen appliances! I like…

A perfect compliment to the green outside, this red kitchen adds pizazz the the entire house.  I love the stainless steel appliances but I would not want to clean them.  I have a small “simplehuman” trash receptacle in my home and it is a job in itself to keep clean.

Cool tiled bathroom, never a dull moment in here…

The tiles in this bathroom were designed by Merav and then hand crafted for the space.  It is unusual to use so much pattern in such a small room but the rest of the house is white so this room just off of the kitchen adds a welcomed suprise upon entry.

The other two full baths which are predominantly white don’t use as much pattern.  I like the subtle accent of the small multi tiles on the floor in this shower. 

On my way out I snapped this photo of the lavendar bushes with the green exterior and the gray outdoor tiles.  These designers thought of everything and it shows.
