Tuscany decor is so tasteful in its simplicity, it's no surprise there's so much interest. There are plenty of people who decorate their homes and try to create the atmosphere of a Tuscany villa even though they are thousands of miles from Tuscany.

...Just talking about Tuscan decorating makes me excited! Already I see rolling hills, cypress trees, arches, terracotta roof tops, vineyard. Che bello!

Hand-made and hand-painted ceramic tableware like this artful pitcher made in the Old World Italian style will be a lovely addition to your home

When you think about Tuscany decor, imagine a Tuscany villa where you find lovely rich hues of yellow, terracotta, terra di Siena, pastel-like pinks, rich deep greens and reds, blues not quite lapis or french.

Tuscany decor is closely tied to color. This is not necessarily intentional, it's just the way it is. The colors are natural, as if taken right from the earth.

These colors appear on dinnerware, on linens, on curtains, on walls--whether or not frescoed--throughout the kitchen.

Then there is furniture... and we're not talking modern furniture, we're talking exquisite and tasteful accessories.
