I'm in love

love, love, love

I do not agree with MAds. I live in Rome, I am Italian, and I can guarantee that Rome and Las Vegas are worlds apart and the city is still very authentic.
However, if the family in the article are settled on Rome and they can afford to rent that kind of place, I really do not understand why they don't just buy an apartment. Morgages in Italy are always much lower than rents (even in the presence of a big terrace!), and at least the place is yours.

A mat? It looks just like a pillow to me.

I think it could be Northern Italy, or Switzerland, of France or, possibly, Germany.
Definitely not Britain. They don't have windows like that in the UK.

Can I also have the phostoshop treatment for my living room? That was brilliant! :-)
I usually like like green walls, but I agree with everyone else here that in this case it does not work. Go neutral.

I freeze my herbs in a glass jar. Why use more plastic?

The Minnen bed in the nursery and the Stolmen wardrobe/shelving line are my favourite purchases

I always keep basil in the freezer. I wash it and dry it, then I take the leaves off the stem and put them in a (recycled) glass jar. When I need basil for tomato sauce (for either pizza or pasta or the million things you can di with tomato sauce) or even to season fresh tomatoes, I just take a few leaves from the jar and use them as they are. The defrost nearly immediately upon contact with the food. Same flavour as fresh. Of course, being frozen, they may crumble as you take them, but I don't find this to be a problem.

A friend of mine recently had a baby and her partner built something very much like that (only with carved flowers) in pinewood ! It is a lovely idea.
