If charm and history appeal to you, this schoolhouse might just fill your day with inspiration.
Once used as a rural schoolhouse during the Second Spanish Republic, this now cottage was in in complete ruins. That’s when interior designer Mikel Larrinaga decided to transform it into his little piece of heaven.
The main part of the cottage was used as the one and only classroom, where children of different ages where mixed to learn together. What is now a small kitchen, once used to be the teacher’s room.
Space, as you will see, is at a premium in this cottage, but that only adds to its charm and preciousness.
Via: El Mueble.
Country Cottage in Spain
This place is enchanting! The arch and doors are original to the house.
Patio
This covered patio is where you want to spend your afternoons, just enjoying good food and the hot weather, after all, you’re in Spain!
The Ikea curtain panels offer some comfort when closed.
Opposite door is from the 18th century.
Home-Sweet-Home
Love is always found in the details…
Outdoor Kitchen
This is so beautiful! It reminds me of my grandmother’s outdoor kitchen in our farm, back when I was a child in Brazil. You don’t even use your indoor kitchen… this is where you cook your meals and spend the day talking about life.
Rustic Touch
The more you see this cottage, the more you start respecting its beauty and the history it carries.
Sink and faucet are vintage finds.
Rustic, Country & Chic
As you enter this cottage, you notice how much personality and details this place offers.
Rustic Kitchen
Somehow this industrial Ikea kitchen works perfectly with the rustic environment.
French Inspired

Green accents plays beautifully against the neutral walls and furnishings.

Perfectly French Country
This main room used to be the only classroom. Stunning beams!

Lovely patina!
Living Room
The room was divided with furniture to create different areas withing the space. Many of the furnishing you see here was found at an auction.
Desk
A place to write letters… (Call me old school, but is there anything better than receiving a heartfelt letter? 🙂 )
Table is an antique from the 1920’s from “Antigüedades CerrajerÃa Nájera”.
Bedroom
This tiny bedroom is somehow very romantic… maybe because it’s in Spain… 🙂
Linen Bedding is from “Zara Home”.
Natural Beauty
Adding beauty with simplicity.
Small Bathroom Design
This is a small bathroom done right!
Mirror and vanity are from Ikea and sconces are from “Susaeta Iluminación”.
Sunny Afternoon
Welcoming and simple…
Chandelier is from “Artespaña Bilbao”.
Best Friend
This place comes even with a sweet friend…
Bench is a restored piece.

Love this! Of course, if it’s a rustic cottage in Europe, I’m sold.
Mama Mia!! This is just about…perfect!! LUV! franki
Oh MY…..this got my morning started my friend, love, love, love every single little itty bitty detail…dreaming….
What a fabulous home – I’m so glad it wasn’t covered in brocade and heavy old furnishings like some of them are – this one is just perfect, and I love all the details 🙂 I’d also love to spend my days sitting at that lovely outdoor “kitchen” talking about “life” drinking out of those gorgeous dark green mugs! Bliss 😀
Love, Love, Love! Especially the dog 🙂
I want to stay there. Send me info please……
