Thanks Frah! My father in law used to have a t-shirt that said "Win or Learn. Never lose" That's kind of how I feel about this big "home" experiment. Beautiful success or beautiful lessons. Either way is great 👍🏼 I'll keep you all posted 😎

I feel overwhelm in looking at the photos but also excitement at the possibilities and knowing that with time and care you will make it beautiful. I can also feel the thrill in being in a space to imagine. I've yet to own a home (I don't yearn for one yet, still trying to determine where I want to set down some roots) but I'm excited for you and your family.

Thank you Ambata 🤗 I can so relate to the not yearning for a house. That was completely me. In fact, the idea felt kind of heavy. It wasn't exciting at all and I didn't think it was really for me. Then something happened about 18 months ago. A shift. Suddenly I could imagine staying in one place. At the same moment my outward circumstances changed. It suddenly looked possible. Then it was exciting. I love this house so much, ugly dirty bath and all 😂. It feels like a third child. A part of my family and my legacy.

The family closet! What a concept! Is that a common thing in Italy?? Or you just had a genius friend? Thanks for sharing the pics, looking forward to sharing your journey with renovations 🤩

I think she's just a genius! She's also American... Maybe it's a common thing over there? 🤷🏻‍♀️
