Wooden homes have been gaining friends in Greece over the past 30 years. I remember very vividly a countryside home where we were guests when I was a child. It looked like out of a fairy tale to me.
In recent years, wooden home builders experience a renewal in styles and popularity, although I doubt they will ever outdo conventional buildings. I for one have many doubts about the materials they use to fireproof and guard the wood.
However, the appeal of a wooden home remains undiminished in my list of mountain retreats.
The house I am posting about today is situated on mount Parnassus, central Greece.
It was furnished from head to toes with IKEA products. What I like best is the use of traditional elements such as the rugs with modern furniture as in the kitchen. I like the result: light, airy and easy to live in and take care of.

| I like the open, well organized entrance. |
 |
| I absolutely love this rug and the cozy use of this otherwise dead space |
 |
| A little too minimal for me, yet relaxing, and I am sure it gets more alive when people move in! |
 |
| The kitchen is a big success. The transparent chairs help the eye focus on the stunning red cupboards. |
 |
| Hey, we have the same closet! |
 |
| Love the kids' space: cheerful and grown up. |
