Italian Cottage Wall Tapestry Unicorns making use of traditional weavingThis wall tapestry transports viewers away to the beautiful Tuscan countryside, taking them up the steps of an ornate Italian villa. Rich warm tones and textured weaves accentuate the stucco and potted plants, the greens of the plants and trees create a lush brilliance, and the pale blue shutters add a great pop of color. Charming yet not overpowering, this tapestry would be the perfect complement to any design style!
