I’ve seen people standing in line with cans of Venetian plaster on carts, and liked the sound of the name but had no idea of the work involved. Your lights sound beautiful, and congratulations on getting the new stand alone range in time for the cooler days of autumn. We’ve been roasting vegetables again, ourselves.

Thanks for letting us hear the story as you celebrate the new heart of your home.

Now that the floor is done things seem to be moving along faster. We still have to get the kitchen counters and install the new sink and dishwasher and vent. And buy our refrigerator. Will an entire year elapse before the project is complete? It’s beginning to look that way. I hope to have it done by Christmas so we can have a big celebration. — mss
