The travels that inspire.

After last weeks posting my Dining room Mural, I took some time looking back at pictures from Tuscany that I took. There is some thing that draws visitors to just looking and taking pictures of Doors. These are just a very small collection of some of the doors from Volterra, the place depicted in the mural.

  Love the carving of these doors, I had to have a close look and a touch.

This one has new plantings.

This one has this wonderful color.

This is a back door, seeing only the shutter doors.

Store fronts intermingle with residents, wouldn’t you love having fresh flowers next door to your home?

Or, a restaurant with this quaint out door dining?

Or, fresh Produce displayed every morning, right down the stone paved street?

Is this their version of Boar’s head meats?

Of course there is always laundry day, it is part of living there.

What a happy site to see the Stars and Stripes at this store front.

Back home to the Villa, it has a more modern Iron and glass door with a center lever with lock. I do prefer the older wood doors but this door will get you to look at how it works and locks.

Hope you enjoyed the tour and the small part of their every day life.
