Weathering Raw Furniture & Palazzo Reale Napoli



Feast for the eyes! Check out the grand entrance to Palazzo Reale di Napoli! The royal palace was built in the 1600's and housed the famous Bourbons, relative of the conquering Napoleon. The exterior was okay, with it's orange stucco...but the inside! Wow!

Achieve the Perfect Rustic Brown & Palace of Caserta


Today was just amazing! Caserta, Italy is the tiny town my great grandmother immigrated from. Touring Caserta Italy, I got to walk the streets my great-grandmother walked, when she was a child. It was like falling back thru time!

Dreamy Wood Ceiling & The Sistine Chapel, Vatican City


Now that we are in Rome, the art and architecture is coming hot and heavy. For example, we've spent several afternoons in the ginormous Vatican museum, which is a total dream for me. If you haven’t been to the Sistine Chapel, I can share my impressions. You enter and you’re taken aback by just how much is happening — all the walls and every inch of ceiling is covered in frescos.

Stripped and Stained Piano & a Trip to La Boca Veritas, Rome


We made it to Rome and our first day we strolled around our Trastavere AirBNB. One of the closest tourist stops is calledthe Mouth of Truth (Boca della Veritร s). Originally the disc’s from the temple of Hercules, but now people travel from all over the world ๐ŸŒŽ to put their hand in its mouth. The story goes, if the statue does NOT bite your hand, than you are true of heart! ๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ’– Somehow, we made it!
