Idyllic in Italy


 
The Tuscan countryside must be amongst the most beautiful in the world and this home really does do justice to its beautiful setting.
 
 


Imagine a meal on this patio looking out over those rolling green hills eating delicious Italian food. What bliss!





The home is furnished in a relaxed and comfortable way, but without compromising on style.





The kitchen and dining room are simply furnished with terracotta tiles underfoot, perfectly cool in the hot summers.


Slipcovers, white linen, rustic lime-washed  beams and French doors bringing the outside in - what more could you ask for.



The main bedroom, beautifully dressed in white.


Interesting details are evident in every corner, but always kept simple.




I love this bedroom with it's pretty beds and subtle colours.




Well I hope you enjoyed this little Italian interlude and that the coming week will be kind to you.
 
Till next time

Life and Love

Life and Love

Well, it's been a busy evening. After supervising homework and cooking supper, I had to bake and ice sixty eight cupcakes for my twins to take to school tomorrow for their 11th birthday. Then my 13th year old suddenly remembered he had to have his hair cut by tomorrow or else he will get detention, so an emergency haircut had to take place. (In case you are wondering - he is not in military school - school boys have to have short hair and wear uniforms here in South Africa). Our internet is back after having been down all weekend so I  had to catch up on about 50 emails and it also happens to be my 18th wedding anniversary today. Not a very romantic way to celebrate but, somehow, life got in the way.  Browsing the web to come up with something fitting to post, I stumbled across this beautiful place and thought, if I was ever to get married again (to the same husband, of course) I would choose this beautiful place in Tuscany. And then perhaps we could come back here for a visit (sans children) on every anniversary - a girl can dream, right!

Beautiful, isn't it?


I must apologise for my lack of visits and comments on many of my favourite blogs - life has just got very hectic lately, but I hope to resume normal blog activity soon!

Till next time
