By now you all know I am here at our home in Italy for the summer. I come to relax, unwind and of course be inspired. I think everyone should take a moment and recharge their creative battery. No need to tell you that Italians have great style and I soak in as much as I can over 3 months time. One of the most creative people I know is a dear friend and interior designer that lives right here in my town,
Monica Damonte . Last week I had the pleasure of watching her creative process in person while she re-merchandised her
incredible retail store
Odulia . Here are a few quick pics of the transformation. Let me know what you think and if you like black and white as a color palette?

Grazie mille Monica!
