Hello Monday and Summer House 3

Happy Monday my friends :-) As part of my summer house series, here is a renovated barn located in Tuscany, Italy. How many of you have seen and liked the movie Under the Tuscan Sun?? I absolutely loved it. On a trip to Italy many years ago.....hubby and I missed our train while wandering the streets of Sienna. It is a lovely town..............
We literally ran to catch the last train of the day. We had to leave for Florence as we were spending the night there. It really was quite an adventure! Looking back I wish we had missed the train as it would have let us spend another day in Sienna :-)

The barn has been completely restored and renovated by architect Daniele Bedini. The home is furnished with flea market finds and items that once belonged to Daniele's grandmother. Hues of lavender and sunflower yellow are the colors that dominate this lovely rustic home.

Tuscany beckons......hope you enjoy the trip :-)

I love this image of the door.....

Hello Friday!!

Okay, I am officially exhausted and alas this weekend is going to be super busy. The only silver lining is a surprise I am planning for someone at home:-)
I have an endless list of things to do..........and I have not even started. Do you know that feeling when things are out of control? I just need to get a grip and get going!

I guess a good start would be to stop rambling here....... and spare you all the torture as well :-) So, anyway.............my gorgeous lilies are here to wish you a very Happy Weekend!
I am joining My Romantic Home's Show and Tell Friday.

Summer House2

My summer home series continues with yet another home in Spain. This apartment near Malaga with its cool whites and deep blues has such a lovely summer vibe!

I really wish I should pack my bags and head to Spain for the summer. These homes are way too tempting and appeal to the dreamer in me :-) If you missed my post about the first home I featured in this series, you can read it here!

So if you absolutely had to pick which one is more you?? Stay tuned for the third home in this series................
