    You can likely find "Tuscan" type decor at the Thrift Store in your area. Any "scroll-like" metal items can be painted either black or hand-rubbed bronze by Rustoleum for a new finish if need. Usually Tuscan also includes deep reds, greens and golds and perhaps murals or tapesties for artwork.

    Spray paint metal with bronze spray paint.

    A dough bowl with orbs that you make from vines or decorate in the colors.

    Bertolli jars painted would make beautiful flower vases, add a bit of twine at the neck.

    Here's an interesting tutorial you might find useful:

    Think rustic. All your colors should be warm & muted. Paint your walls yellow-gold or terra cotta. If you want white, use a creamy off- white. Olive green, brick red are good accent colors. Dark woods. Cast iron or bronze metalwork. Simple ceramic shapes in classic patterns or glazed with a rustic finish. Nothing dainty, shiny, or overly ornate.

    I would begin by painting the walls a tuscan yellow color. Add decorations with maroon and black accents, wrought iron, and olive branches are also a good idea.
