This next reader’s home is that of Dana Frigerio. It’s located in Lake Como, Italy and was built around 1914. Her husband is an architect with a passion for books, and Dana is a garden designer with a passion for interior design. Their furnishings combine both Western and Oriental antiques with some contemporary pieces. It’s a stunning home that really showcases Dana’s passion for design, and WOW check out her kitchen!!! (P.S. Their current focus is on their garden which I can only imagine how gorgeous it will turn out. And Dana has a gardening blog so have a looksie). Thanks Dana!
Here’s an email I received the other day from Sandra: “You featured my dining room on your blog before (HERE) & I’ve slowly been working on the rest of my home. I’m sending pics of my den which I’ve been putting together in dribs & drabs w/some really good bargains via consignment shops & ebay. I really enjoyed seeing other readers’ homes & thought to send this in.” And am I ever glad she did. Her den is a cozy mix of many styles but is a wonderful cohesive space with lots of global influences. I love it Sandra!
Paradise on a crescent beach of sherbet white sand. Domed pavilions straddle the ridge. Views filled with dreams of the spice routes. Exotic, exclusive, remote and relaxing. The name of this slice of heaven? Kilindi. Perhaps it’s Swahili for perfect………
