When your front door is less than 40 kilometers from world-famous #carrara , #marble is part of the local framework. One of the many reasons we fell for this new-to-us historic apartment in #luccaitaly is that every window seal and door jam featured the most beautiful marble work. So, naturally, when we knocked down two walls to create an open living and kitchen area, we chose to fill floor gaps with...yep, locally-produced marble. This glorious delivery arrived and installed this week (and, it’s surprisingly, not crazy expensive). I literally jumped up and down and squealed, it’s so lovely.😀🙌 Italy has us thinking about everything differently. #builttolast #designlovers .

They’re from Canada, yet live in Mexico, when not traveling. We’re from the US, but live in Italy, when not traveling. And, we met in Spain last year, naturally (haha); during a #housesit through @trustedhousesitters . 😀

When Cheryl and Dan said, “We’re coming to visit you in Lucca, we were so excited. Today, that visit came to being. Thanks @lovestotravel for coming to see us! It was such a pleasure and a prime example of the #magic of #travel : We wish you well on all your onward journeys and look forward to the day we meet again...somewhere...in this big, beautiful world!
🥂
