Atlanta, Montreal and then Tuscany | Where will you be this Summer?

Every year since I’ve started writing this blog, when I write my goals for each year, I’ve posted about one of them being to go to Italy.

Then two years ago when I told you Terreeia went to Italy with some friends without me, many of you thought I was nuts when I chose drapery over Italy.

However, making that decision and finishing my house got it on the cover of Style at Home the following April 2014 so that was a good decision in the end! And Terreeia was with 3 of her friends, travelling all over Italy, in a different town every couple days and frankly that would have been too much driving for me! But she loved it!

Here’s what our itinerary looks like this August.

First, August 17 – 19, I’m flying to the Withit Conference in Atlanta where I’ll be speaking.

Then, Wednesday night on the 19th I’m going to Montreal where I’ll be at another mastermind meeting until Sunday, August 23rd, Terreeia will join me there.

I’ll have to ship some conference clothes home because Sunday evening we’ll be on a flight to Rome where we’ll be for 5 days.

Then we are renting a car and driving to Tuscany where we will stay for 7 nights.

Then we go to Florence for 3 nights. . .

and then on the way to Venice we will stay in Verona for one night. . .

and then Venice for the last two nights before we fly home on September 12th.

I can’t wait to show you colour from Italy! Terreeia assures me there is no pink beige there ; ) ; )

This is the corner where I’ll be this summer before we go anywhere. It’s where I was yesterday afternoon.

Here’s what this spot looks like when styled.

It’s my favourite place to be in the summer. I love that my green cushions just melt into the surrounding landscape.

Here’s what the rest of the deck looks like along with the total transformation of our entire front and back yard.

We still haven’t booked Verona and Venice so any tips on places to stay would be great!

Really any advice on where we should go when we get to all these places from some of you world travellers would be awesome!!

Where will you be this summer?
