    I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing your very interesting second hand /antique shopping experience with us. I loved watching the horse drawn plough in the vineyards. Sometimes (a lot of times)the old way is the best way and it does not pollute the orchard or vineyards. Beautiful scenery. Have a great weekend. All The Best!

    When watching you about your kitchen floor don’t forget some days you can worry about it and actually have a beautiful outlook just think about not using bright white on walls or cabinets use more of natural colors and enjoy it’s when you combine to many bright colors than you’ll be overwhelmed just enjoy the peaceful and relaxing surroundings it’s going to look beautiful

    An antique dealer once showed me how to whiten old plates and dishes that have yellowed over time like the footed plate your friend bought. Fill a plastic container with liquid hydrogen peroxide and immerse the piece. Leave it, covered, for a few days. Remove, wash and set it in the sun to dry and brighten. This works very well. It will not be truly white again but it will be much improved. Thank you for a lovely tour of the vineyards. Horses tilling the rows between the vines!

    When I look at the floors, they look pink, not orange. Maybe use a different type of lighting, and it will look the way you want. Plus wall colors, etc. can change the way the floors look.

    Marloes, thank you for sharing this video and the beautiful poem. It’s definitely one to be shared. I can empathize with how you are feeling. My husband and I just moved into our newly built home. Unlike you and your husband, we did very little of the actual construction, but we did have thousands of decisions to make, both large and small. There came a point during this process when I felt I couldn’t make another decision. I truly believe it was decision-fatigue. Even though we had planned and dreamed about the details, I was unsure of how everything would come together in the end. It sounds as though you have hit a similar point in your building journey. It will pass and I am sure all your carefully planned details will come together and you will have the home of your dreams! Hang in there!!
