Restoration Hardware's Wood Beam Round Dining Table & Florence Piazza


It's Saturday night and the mood is right...we went and checked out the Lenarda DaVinci museum here in Florence. Although DaVinci lived here there's only three pieces of art from him, all found in the Uffizi. The DaVinci museum is more of a hands on place to see his experiments. After that we strolled the Florence streets, juts like the locals and all the other tourists. The Italians call this a passegiare and it's typical to find street performers are almost every square. Check out this rolling, 2 man band and the dancing pinnocchio.

Quick Oak Shelf Makeover & Montepulciano. IT (New Moon Filming Site)


Montepulciano! If you’re a twilight fan, this is where New Moon was filmed. πŸ§›‍♂️ πŸ‘§ The midevil town is tucked in the Tuscany hills so you drive up these tight, winding switchbacks on these narrow ancient streets.

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.

White-Washed Side Tables & Volterra, Italy (Twilight Series)


Thank you, Stephenie Meyer, for writing about Volterra- because it’s completely magical! After we left Rome we took a one day detour to check out Voltarra. We stayed at a quaint B&B where the host assured us, everything there was in true Tuscan style. πŸŒŸ
