And what a view it is.
One of my friends just returned to Rome from visiting the States and she kindly picked up a copy of VERANDA magazine for me. It’s not an easy magazine to find in Rome (in Milan, yes).
Brooke Giannetti’s Velvet & Linen blog is fantastic. She has a very large following and has posted a few photos in the past of the home she is building in Ojai, California with her architect husband Steve.
It’s so interesting to me that this a new build, yet their home has the warmth and vibe of a house that has been in a family for generations. You can read more about Brooke and Steve’s Patina Farm journey, here.
One day I would love to have a tub/shower like this. Love it. Of course it’s only possible if there are no neighbors close by. A friend here has an outdoor shower on his terrace. He lives in Trastevere and the upper floors of a church and another palazzo are right across the narrow street. The man has no screens. Yeah, no.
To see more photos, go to VERANDA’s website.
Interesting design.
Wonderful idea for a room in a warm climate.
I have been fantasizing about an outdoor shower for years (or since I used sofagirl’s in Cape Town). Now, an outside tub was beyond my imagination. Something else to lust after.
Same here. I’ve wanted an outdoor shower for ages. One day I will have one!!
Meant to tell you that I saw an article yesterday on the popularity of the Gomorrah tv show in Italy. I am hoping it will make it over here. Have you been watching it?
Yes. I’ve been watching it and I’m very happy to see how well it’s doing critically and commercially. Italian TV (thanks Berlusconi) has an awful reputation when it comes to production value/quality. While the subject matter is troubling, I hope the success of this series will lead to more excellence and less Veline crap.
I’m going to buy the box set DVD so I can re-watch with English subtitles. There were certain nuances I couldn’t follow. It’s incredible that this series is based on real events. Frightening.
The Weinstein Company bought the USA rights. I think the original version will air on on at least iTunes if not TV. There is talk of remaking it for an American audience.
