The best restaurant in Capri? Da Paolino, famous for its excellent food beneath Capri's fragrant lemon trees, is certainly close to being the favorite!
One of the things I seem to be unable to resist pinning on Pinterest or saving to my files are instances when an object that is meant to rest on the floor, is supported by hanging from the ceiling. ( I tried to word that in a way that ruled out all hanging lights, plants and any other usua
Den mönstrade tapeten Under the Elder Trees lekfulla naturmönster är inspirerat av skogen, men också av medeltida gobelänger och förra sekelskiftets Arts & Crafts-mönster. På håll bildar fläderns bladverk ett harmoniskt flöde över väggen. Tittar du närmare ser du detaljerna, som den ståtliga kronhjorten och fältharen som försiktigt kikar fram ur sitt gömställe. Limtrycks i flera färgställningar, här i varmt rödbrunt med ljust gråbeige detaljer.

All photographs by Lisa Romerein from Patina Farm by Brooke Giannetti and Steve Giannetti, reprinted by permission of Gibbs Smith. You, of course, know my friend Brooke Giannetti, the gifted interior designer behind Velvet & Linen fame and her uber-talented husband, architect Steve Giannetti. Yes, of course you do, how could you not?!! I found Brooke's blog Velvet & Linen right after I found Joni at Cote de Texas when I first discovered design blogs back in 2008! In fact, it is because of Brooke and a post she did on my blog on Velvet & Linen right after I started writing about our renovation of the farmhouse that I first developed a following of readers, which in turn encouraged me to continue writing about our journey. So, in essence Brooke is the reason you are here reading my blog! She gave me my blog-wings and I can not thank her enough for that. Both Brooke and Steve were so generous and gracious with helping me figure out several very important details around the house during our renovation and for that I will be forever grateful. They are both such lovely, kind people. I can honestly say that the only home that I have ever seen (that could make me walk away from the farmhouse;) where I could walk right in, not change a single element or piece of furniture and live happily ever after (with Dan and the girls of course;) is Brook and Steve's Ojai home! The house and property is pure magic. Watching their progress over the last several years... from selling their gorgeous home in Santa Monica, (which was the subject of their first book Patina Style HERE) to buying land in Ojai, to breaking ground on the house, to Brooke discussing all the design elements, to watching every detail of the landscaping and viewing Steve's renderings of what they wanted the property and house to be has been a riveting journey for their love of a house. That they created a home and property that looks like it has been there for 100 years is nothing short of amazing. Brooke and Steve's new book, Patina Farm is a beautiful collaboration of the duo's love, passion and talent to create "home." I have savored every moment of reading the book; taking in the story of the decisions, the design elements, the choices made and why they made them makes the book a wonderful, informative read. This is a book I will use over and over again for inspiration. Take a look at some of the magic for yourself.... ...pure magic! This book is a must-have for any design library. I have a signed book (which I love); you can get your own signed copy at Giannetti Home HERE. or to get an unsigned copy HERE Now, for the giveaway...
