    Isn’t it funny how our best memories are when we are in flux and when things are not perfect. We renovated our home on a lake and I remember eating pizza in a closet with the rain pouring down just outside the door. Our 3 year old was happily running around. We were wondering what in the world we had gotten ourselves into. Now it’s beautiful and makes us happy every day. Fond, fond memories of all the chaos.

      Tho I could see if wanted to lessen it's foot print to manage it better ..but leaving a little peek a boo..gives so much interest to the home..kinda the point

    What a fabulous episode. Your story about making and eating pizza for the first time in your new house was so heartwarming. It made me realize I need to be present in the moment and appreciate those events when they happen. We hope to move to Italy this fall and it made me imagine eating our first meal there and realizing I need to capture and cherish that moment. You will have many more adventures in your newly remodeled kitchen and many more memories will be made. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.

    I wish as an industry they would cover the natural stone with something that can be removed later... Like a thin layer of wool, then a rebar lattice, and then skim of concrete or plaster.. And map it out for city Hall Or historical society so it can later be removed

    finding tile for my little house in Mexico was an experience not to be forgotten... it was the factory where they make them,,, each one hand painted and beautiful... we were there a whole work day. even shared lunch with the workers. In the end it turned out beautiful... when that was sold I felt sad to leave our beautiful tiles.
