So, while in Siena, of course outside of Piazza del Campo,  I drifted away from my day tour and walked into Sienna’s most famous Cathedral (Santa Maria Assunta) in order to get time to see the mosaic marble decor.  Lucky me, apparently the floors of the church are kept covered for most of the year but this particular year they decided to open it to the public during the month of September and October, so I got to see the most amazing marble mosaic works in all it’s glory. Here are five out of the 50 plus photos I took just inside the cathedral Enjoy!

A floor plan, well at least for me, has to flow just right before I can consider it a home. The most important musts:  huge windows (French Doors if at all possible), well lit,  hardwood floors, a kitchen with character and aesthetically pleasing color coordination throughout the entire apartment.

So, with that said,  I am hoping to find an apartment  with all the characteristics and charming details as in the collage of photos I put together above.

Every year I fall in love with one specific color even though I am not particular. Last year it was red  this year, it happens to be white (which is perfect) because, although I had tossed around the idea of  the color white in bathroom and kitchen decor for my dream apartment, I have often retracted my suggestion because I just couldn’t make up my mind.

But this year, with me falling madly inlove with the color white, I decided to search online for sophisticiated marble bathrooms to give me  a visuals of what I have contimplated for years.

So here are my favorite photos, which I found here:   Enjoy them and tell me what you think?
