      His contract to become a leading role is currently under negotiation. He's quite demanding and has requested a 15% raise in daily food allowance and 45 minutes extra of scratches behind the ears each week! 😅😂

    Such a great colour scheme guys! I'm not surprised as you always come up with something interesting. Ernie gave the wag of approval, so that's all that matters! Keep having fun with it! Ciao Marisa 🥰🤗😗💚

    Looks great, you guys! Your BLACK (😂😂😂) walls are AWESOME! Like we say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Besides, it's YOUR house, YOU do what YOU like. Fantastic! I just wish I could send a cement pumper truck to your house so you didn't have to do that floor in the barn 2 buckets at a time. 😭 Again, BRAVO guys! ♥

      Haha thanks Terry! Yeah it’s definitely interesting renovating an old house like this. We had the same “issues” when renovating our apartment jn Stockholm (building from 1925) - Edward built the skeleton to a partitian wall lying on the floor, and when raising it up it fitted perfectly on one side and had a 6 cm gap on the other 😂 that’s how we learnt…

    Wow the transformation is incredible! The paint color looks great and really love the tile job- so gorgeous. When you lay in all of that lovely wine please put up room darkening shades on that beautiful window to make sure the wine doesn’t spoil from light strike. Enjoy your purchases!

  • @daisy9910
    @daisy9910 7 месяцев назад +1

    FYI, you should cut in all the corners and around power points, switches, windows, and doors before rollering the paint.

    • @OurItalianDreamHouse
      @OurItalianDreamHouse  7 месяцев назад +1

      We did that?

    • @daisy9910
      @daisy9910 7 месяцев назад

      The corners were white when you were rollering, and hadn't been cut in. The reason professional painters cut in with a brush, is because the roller leaves a different texture, and you want to have that consistency with the rest of the walls. I hope that helps.

    I'm sure it will be gorgeous. You definitely have an eye for a nice decor. However, my vote is for a fireplace. It will make this wine room very cozy during long fall/winter evenings. Also, do you work remotely or what is the secret for a such remote lifestyle? Love you guys.

    • @OurItalianDreamHouse
      @OurItalianDreamHouse  7 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you so much! That fireplace was un-usable according to our ”geometra”. However, we’re actually moving the fire place we temporary installed in the living room into the cantina for the exact reasons you’re mentioning 😊🙏

    I wondered about the paint choices....is that a cultural preference--most houses where you grew up?

    • @OurItalianDreamHouse
      @OurItalianDreamHouse  7 месяцев назад +1

      Not really. In Sweden we use a lot of white and beige. Im however very design interested and take most of my design inspiration from magazines like AD Italia - showcasing designer homes from all over the world 😊

    why you do not use a carbine hook for the rope on the end, you don't need to bind the rope again on the bucket.

    • @OurItalianDreamHouse
      @OurItalianDreamHouse  7 месяцев назад +1

      Haha since we do everything by hand and the buckets are wobbly we thought this was the safest way 😂
