Tuscany in Winter Let's go. This looks like a wonderful place to be without all the crowds. I had no idea Tuscany was so nice in the winter. The picture above was taken in January. Click on the link and see the 15-photo slideshow. Complete article here from The New York Times.

Antiquarian prints hanging unframed on the walls, recessed bookcases full of leather bindings, the bench with linen cushion at the foot of the bed, the bed hangings, the upholstered headboard, the lamps. I love it all. Absolute perfection.

This couldn't have been easy. How does one do this and still live in a house? Paint every other step every other day? Live downstairs until project is finished? How? Click on the link for more photos and a detailed report of this big project. I like it, don't you? The Stairs are Done

This is an amazing arrangement of spring flowers, isn't it? Guaranteed to make you happy every time you walk in the room. Simply lovely. Have a wonderful Sunday, Rosemary.

On Nantucket, Massachusetts, a couple commissioned Botticelli and Pohl Architects + interior designer Elissa Cullman to create their seaside retreat. That's some staircase down to the sea, isn't it? Photos: Architectural Digest. See slideshow.

Curved staircase with slide. This would be so much fun. Which would you take? I guess you'd walk up and slide down. I'm so glad there are people who want such things and find the people to build them, aren't you?
Wow. Just look at the entrance to this place. Love the big shaped bushes and benches lining the drive too. Wish I could see more of the house. Looks as if there's a party going on with the tents outside. How many lifetimes would it take for new plantings to get this tall?

This is so interesting. When you get a spare 10 minutes you will really enjoy seeing the work and effort that went into film footage that took 2 years to complete and lasts for only one minute. For a glimpse at just how much effort goes into creating the gorgeous shots captured by the BBC and Discovery Channel, have a look at this exhausting behind-the-scenes footage of a scene from the new series LIFE.
I never knew that natural history photographers had to be carpenters and engineers too. We just sit on our couches and watch these programs as if they are created by magic. Now you will be able to understand what goes on behind the scenes. I can't wait to see this series. If you are in a hurry you can use the slider to move the film forward and watch the last minute or so. It is like seeing spring happen before your very eyes. Enjoy

Doesn't this bacon look yummy? I can't remember the last time I cooked it. Probably last summer when tomatoes were in season BLTs were on the menu. I have a showing of my real estate listing this morning and just might stop at Wightman's Farms the local farm stand and get some of their thick bacon on my way home. It's wonderful. Hope I don't forget...since I have to drive by twice.
Happy weekend. The weather here is going to be nice and in the 50s. Hooray. Maybe all of the snow will melt.
