Kitchens of Italy

Hello everyone. In just a few short weeks, my family and I will be traveling to Italy. It will be the first time I and my children will have ever traveled outside the continent. I cannot tell you how excited I am! We have planned a whirlwind trip that includes stops in Rome, Florence, Venice, Positano and Cinque Terra. We won't be taking any tours rather, my husband (a very ardent planner), has created an itinerary for us that will take in many of the popular tourist destinations. While I am sure my children (currently 7 & 11) will not be as enthralled with Italy's rich history as my husband and I will be, I think that just being in a place so different from our own will be interest enough for them. Not to mention they will love the food!

Preparing for our trip got me to thinking about Italian life. Rather than staying in hotels, we have opted to rent apartments during the duration of our stay. We are looking forward to immersing ourselves in the neighborhoods of Italy and truly living the Italian life. 

Kitchens are the heart of the home no matter where you live. So, what do the kitchens in Italy look like? I have rounded up some great examples below.

I can't wait to share my pictures from Italy with you. There will be lots of great decorating ideas to bring back and use for inspiration.

Ciao!
