Travel Diaries | Florence part 2

Picking up where we left off, day three in Florence was another painfully early alarm ready to head to the Uffizi before the crowds hit. By this point I was already done with medieval paintings of Mary and Jesus so I whipped through the first few galleries and headed to the Botticelli.

After a busy day in Pisa, we took the train to Florence. The journey, which only cost a few pounds, is a one hour hop on one of Italy's lovely modern trains. Florence's train station is right in the centre and was, thankfully, only a ten minute walk from our AirBnB.

Guest Room Renovation

Mockup of the final design

As always happens, we had no plans or intentions to redecorate our guest room. Then friends told us they were coming to visit and I was suddenly spurred on. 

When we first moved into the house, I wanted to do the room in a rich emerald green. This then morphed into light, dusty pink. And finally, after months of pondering, I realised it was a combination of the two that I wanted, and so we settled upon pink and green.

Travel Diaries | Pisa

Earlier this year (a lot earlier this year - May, in fact) we took a trip to Italy. We'd talked of going to Italy for years but it always seemed too expensive, then last September some bargain-price flights came up to Pisa so we booked it on a whim and started to plan. Turns out, it was really expensive. But it was also the best trip we've ever had so I'd say it was worth it.
