When I first found out that antiques dealer Gerald Bland and his artist wife Mita Corsini Bland had a home in Tuscany, it took all my will power not to beg them to let me visit.  Now that it’s featured in the May/June 2013 issue of Veranda magazine, I’m pretty sure everyone is going to be begging for a stay.  Veranda was kind enough to offer a sneak peek before the issue hits the newsstands on May 7th. The house is actually a farmhouse that was left to Mita who is Italian and it’s just as lovely as I expected..  The couple has filled the renovated space with a few antiques but nothing too precious which is absolutely perfect.
