Una bella casa. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . yes, a beautiful home.

During my visit to Gina's lovely home I asked if I might take some photos to share

 with you and she kindly allowed me to do so. I didn't want to appear rude so tried

 not to walk about with the camera ever at the ready. . . . . . after all we were there

 to enjoy Gina and Mr. G's company, not for a photoshoot! The photos I did take

 inside the house show their exquisite work, from the Palladio architectural details, 

gorgeous tiled floors, and the colorful paint finishes, to the amazing collection of 

Italian accessories from lighting and art to Gina's own painted ceramics.

No further narrative required - please just look and enjoy these photos

of this beautiful home.

I will be posting soon on the art lesson Gina gave me and can then show you

 what I painted. I was really excited about this part of the visit.
