Warming our hearts of the Holidays
I love December and the Holidays, it warms my heart. Tomorrow we leave to go back to Umbria for Natale in Italy with my darling Alfredo and all our friends. I still haven't packed! It would be lovely to return dressed elegantly, instead of the painters whites that I usually bicycled around the city in.

San Francisco Colored Houses
Recently I finished painting an
apartment in San Francisco. It is
a space I have worked on before, twice actually traveled from Italy to work on the interior. Every time I return to the
neighborhood of Pacific Heights, I find myself in dreamland, architectural
wonder, full on cloud nine o.k. ! It
is amazing. On the top of the hill with views of the Bay, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate
Bridge. Then I fall in love with
every single house. Watch and see if
you don’t do the same.

Pretty Festive Photos
I’m feeling excited for the
festivities and to be home in America for Thanksgiving, everyone is heading out to the
beach house, the whole big family together.
I have been working so hard and
just finished painting an apartment in San Francisco. Soon I’m going to show you all the amazing houses in the
neighborhood I was working in, each one looking like a jewel.

Happy Third Anniversary Sette Design Blog
#3
To tell you the truth. I forgot and I got the date wrong. I'm that bad. I actually love this blog and so I should have remembered her day. To be honest I just have too much going on right now. It was November 5th 2012 when I took the leap and started it up. I was living in Umbria, Italy then. Click Here if you want to flash back and view my very first blog post.
Pendant Pomegranate
I can’t believe it is
raining right now in California as I write to you. The ground is quenching its thirst from months and years of
disappointment. It is November first
and it is raining! Happy November everyone.
These photos I took earlier
in the week. I wanted to pay tribute
to this pendant pomegranate. I
have been tentatively watching it remain, consistently hanging low for
weeks. To me here at Sette Design
it is poetry.

2 Houses I Love
Do you ever find yourself
driving to work or walking around your neighborhood and falling in love with certain
houses, maybe you pass a certain way just for the joy of seeing your special house.
This is how I carry on my days
here at Sette Design.

Living in the Wine Country
Sometimes in the fall in Umbria,
I would make the girls stop in their tracks and smell the air of pungent fermenting grapes. I would say
that is the smell of the crush, the smell of home. Elisa and Lucia would undoubtedly respond, “but Mama it’s
GROSS”.
