Hello! I'm Paul Anater and I usually write a blog called Kitchen and Residential Design. Franki's turned over the reins of her blog for a couple of days and I'm one of the fortunate guest bloggers who's filling in while she gets a well-deserved break.

I'm a kitchen and bath designer by profession and my blog usually deals with all things kitchen design-related. I blur the lines and talk about other things form time to time, but I always feel like I'm breaking some kind of rule when I stray too far from my topic.

Franki on the other hand runs a wider gamut than I do so I'm planning to devote my guest space here to talking about one of my other great passions. And that passion would be travel, travel with a heavy emphasis on Italy. So dust off your phrase books because we're heading to Sorrento and points south for the next couple of days. Andiamo!
