I am back on my desk fresh from a wonderful 10 days spent between Umbria and Puglia (my two “heart” regions of Italy aside from Veneto, where I grew up), and this week was meant to be spent working on my upcoming Guide to Puglia. Except I massively understated what a mammoth mission that’s going to be: I have been going to that region every other summer for the past 15ish years, so let’s just say you are in for a treat! But please bear with me.

In the meantime, our living room has seen a couple of small but very impactful updates, and since I’m quite proud of how the room is looking (even though it’s by no means done), I thought I’d share a few pics together with aaaaaall the resources.

So sit back, grab a cuppa and join me in this trip down memory lane!

Our living room, the before. Spot lights and orange floorboards be gone!
