Farmhouse Pine Coffee Table & Romantic Arno River, Florence


We don't have a car here, although we rent them frequently  But every day life is on foot, or a piedi. Our grocery shopping walk (or passegiare) takes us across the famous Arno River in Florence. It's a romantic walk, even when we are carrying heavy groceries back home.





In the evenings musicians and performers play on the bridge, entertaining passerbys for a few euro. The bridges are always crowded with tourists and lovers, drinking in the delicious colors. 


The bridge with the little houses πŸ˜ packed closely together is the only original bridge left and it’s completely charming. Look at those little buildings! Who lives there? I want to stay on it! 




I think every Tuscan sunset it worth photographing- this place is magical. For projects I have a great one, because EVERYONE Is always asking me how to age pine and we have the perfect product for that!! Weatherwood PINING stain will give pine gorgeous mix of grays and browns colors!
