Thank You for your generous comment...Hello Elene!:D<br />Thank You for your generous comment! :D<br />Yes, this is supposed to be a Venetian Villa which has been slightly up-dated in the 50's, but still has some of its original features. <br />I chose the name "Leone" because of a lion's head which I attached to the front facade of the house and so have built up a "history" of the Leone's regarding this family property. But How Fun is this- that your grandmother has Leone as her maiden name! <br />I would love to learn more about her and also any suggestions you could make regarding the authenticity of what I'm trying to do. <br />Most of my ideas are gathered from old movies and ONE book a friend found for me on Italian Interiors, but otherwise, as the saying goes-I'm "flying by the seat of my pants" :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-70202498060364147522018-05-03T11:27:27.299-07:002018-05-03T11:27:27.299-07:00Wow, this kitchen is really beautiful!
