Sunshine in Spain

Morning sunshines! That's exactly what this English couple was looking for when they decided to move to Spain. And lots of sunshine is what they enjoy with large windows in every room and three spacious porches around the house. Lots of beautiful details for you to get inspired. Love to know what you think!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/fachada_509x519.jpg?random=1328199828573" style="width: 600px; height: 610px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_exterior_-_cristaleria_515x519.jpg?random=1328199833597" style="width: 600px; height: 604px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/porchemesa_en_el_cesped_526x519.jpg?random=1328199835268" style="width: 600px; height: 592px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_bandeja_y_flores_515x519.jpg?random=1328199837475" style="width: 600px; height: 604px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/porche_con_butacas_520x519.jpg?random=1328199839506" style="width: 600px; height: 598px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_libro_rosa_y_cojin_508x519_2.jpg?random=1328199841535" style="width: 600px; height: 612px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/pasillo_exterior_con_bancos_510x519.jpg?random=1328199843436" style="width: 600px; height: 610px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalles_cojin_azulmanzanas_514x519.jpg?random=1328199846306" style="width: 600px; height: 605px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/porche_con_comedor_y_sofas_512x519.jpg?random=1328199847975" style="width: 600px; height: 608px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/comedor_en_el_porche_512x519.jpg?random=1328199850312" style="width: 600px; height: 608px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_jarra_blanca_513x519.jpg?random=1328199852071" style="width: 600px; height: 607px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/porche_con_zona_de_estar_520x519.jpg?random=1328199853728" style="width: 600px; height: 598px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_rosa_509x519.jpg?random=1328199855402" style="width: 600px; height: 611px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/salon_con_chimenea_507x519.jpg?random=1328199857078" style="width: 600px; height: 614px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/salon_483x519.jpg?random=1328199858683" style="width: 600px; height: 644px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_centro_de_mesa_515x519.jpg?random=1328199860491" style="width: 600px; height: 604px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/comedor_vista_puertas_515x519.jpg?random=1328199862155" style="width: 600px; height: 604px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/comedor_vista_ventanas_472x519.jpg?random=1328199864359" style="width: 600px; height: 659px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_bandeja_y_cristaleria_517x519.jpg?random=1328199866431" style="width: 600px; height: 602px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_cojin_con_botones_514x519.jpg?random=1328199870683" style="width: 600px; height: 605px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_caja_515x519.jpg?random=1328199874252" style="width: 600px; height: 604px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/detalle_bandeja_desayuno_515x519.jpg?random=1328199879055" style="width: 600px; height: 604px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/dormitorio_principal_-_vista_sofa_511x519.jpg?random=1328199880942" style="width: 600px; height: 609px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/dormitorio_principal_-_vista_sillon_507x519.jpg?random=1328199876215" style="width: 600px; height: 614px;" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/11/16/dormitorio_principal_-_vista_cama_504x519.jpg?random=1328199868165" style="width: 600px; height: 617px;" /><br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.elmueble.com/">El Mueble</a>.
