The Roof is ON!!
We've been working on the Army Barrack with lots still to do. The roof is almost complete and then we can get in properly and finish the tiling, painting, etc. I'll post through the week with some update photos so stay tuned.
Our Italian Life
I've been really unwell with pneumonia on my left lung so I'm taking things easy. I had pneumonia twice in the past so it seems to be something that I'll have to deal with on repeat in coming years. I remember the doctor at the hospital in Australia telling me that once you've had it you'll have it returning.
It's weird when your teenager is so much taller than you! Height runs in my family with a very tall brother and tall cousins growing up someone was always patting us on the head. Now Luca thinks it's very funny to be able to do this especially to his ''big sister''
They've both grown up with renovating parents so I guess renovating will be in the blood! Either that or they'll never want to see another paintbrush or packing box for all the many moves we've made over the years.
Watch Out for This!
With so many projects on the go I have various folders on my laptop filled with inspiration pics and mood boards for each place.
This is my mood board for Casa Bianca which will most likely be the last project we finish (other than our own house, renovators never finish!)
Do you do this?? or is it just me?
GROUP MEMBER HIGHLIGHT - Ashley Tayor-Wood
I'm restoring a 1700's townhouse in northern Italy. It's original purpose was a military post for an Austrian officer. I've always felt that the house is more 'industrial' than 'country'
These beams had to be replaced, they were totally rotten. The bricks between the beams are all original.We managed to keep the original beams in other rooms.
