LIFE IN TUSCANY; MARKETS, WOLVES & MOVING FURNITURE! EP 10

[@aliscastro5532]

The second to last look I feel is best. With the sofa against the entrance wall, looking at the stairs give you so much more space and you can still talk to everyone that is in the kitchen and dining table.

[@IVant2BAlone]

That is the one I like best!

[@mopanimickey1591]

I agree 👍

[@irinagurevich2745]

agree!

[@ilonacarey9912]

Yep

[@andreadern4463]

🍃🐦‍⬛. Agree! So glad you moved the table out of the corner !🍃 Things are taking shape…nice lights in the garden, Carlo!🍃

[@priscillachapman9145]

I like the jacket Carlo bought. Nice color.

[@aleta5873]

it fits perfect

[@deanvo503]

Carlo is always so hard-working, always with a smile on his face, easy-going and gentle. Your videos are excellent, guys.

[@spacecoastaesthetics6990]

We used to back on a 65 acre nature preserve and had a 5lb Yorkie that thought she was a German Shepard. I would let her out in the yard by herself and she would venture to the edge of the Preserve. One day I saw her prancing toward the house with a Yellow Lab following her. I thought, how cute she brought her friend home. As the lab got closer I realized it was a Panther escorting my pup out of the Preserve and back to her home. My dog had the "I was a bad puppy" look on her face. The Panther looked at me like "keep her out of the Preserve, it's dangerous." Obviously, the Panther could have eaten puppy but didn't. Interesting the Panther knew where her house was.

[@mollypitcher9380]

Awww… a sweet story🌸

[@marlification]

I think your best option in the living area is to move the dining table in front of the kitchen, so that you have the whole lounge area for seating and then you could put a television on one of the walls, so you can enjoy watching on the sofa or when you are cooking.

[@annayoung3098]

Yes, and bring back the two red sofas and place on either side of the green sofa which is facing outwards towards the kitchen - more seating. The table negates the need for the island and becomes the central gathering point of the room.

[@Signs9]

I agree. I don't think that the table needs to be next to a wall. Have it float in the middle of the room by the kitchen unless the space is too tight. Remove the island if need be.

[@celesterakhale7496]

I like the second from last configuration..with couch under the painting...but all looks lovely and cosy.

[@barbaraoshea8639]

I absolutely agree that that one is the most pleasing!

[@sueking-clarkson9161]

Definitely like the table by the stairs. Couch either way is okay. Fun to decorate!

[@Anji2010100]

I liked the second last set up the best. Having the couch facing the dining table. It opens up the entire room and you can chat to someone who is at the kitchen island. 😊❤

[@caroleannewesley5151]

I like the table by the stairs ,opens up the room and sofa against the back wall for people to communicate with anyone cooking in the kitchen ,which I can’t wait to see in situ🎉🎉🎉.Ive watched you since Covid and applaud what you have achieved and Carlo is a much appreciated asset (his English has improved enormously and shows his wonderful personality) and you too ,you project so much enthusiasm and verve,and I think you needed this move,you seem so excited ,vibrant and uplifted about everything I can’t believe that the previous owners were allowed to take the kitchen,walls ,lights and anything that was attached.In the U.K one has to leave fixtures and fittings🥴.So sorry that you had an extremely harrowing purchase of the property but ,onwards and upwards, and looking forwards to an exciting recreation,it looks fabulous already with cleared pathways on your property and outside lights.

[@denisefarrell5549]

Carlo is the Energizer bunny.

[@Highlands2030]

I think the large beautiful wood table needs to be in the kitchen area with a beautiful light above the table. I would also purchase another couch and have one on each side of the room with the one on the right having a library table behind the couch with 2 lamps and flowers. In the middle of the room against the wall where once a TV hung, I would purchase an antique armoire and place it there for linens, silverware etc. You need a larger plant for the staircase or a corner table with a lamp to brighten the staircase. Just a thought.🌺 Enjoy I know we are watching, thank you. The outside lamps are the perfect choice. You could place a coffee table in between the couches for people to put their feet up to relax and face the kitchen happenings and cooking where everyone can take part. Yikes, I had better stop!

[@AnnHoffman-k1n]

Like this idea a lot Do put the dining table/prep area in the kitchen .

[@louiselapalice4637]

I love this suggestion!

[@NurseJacqueline]

This is all a really good idea!

[@leighannemcdonald6887]

Wow Carlo is so handy! He installed outdoor lights!?? What can’t he do?!

[@Mr_ZeroFuel]

The last furniture change was the best, it created a spacious atmosphere. Kind of like sitting in front of a cosy fireplace.

[@lynnetteross995]

@DIYRAFFLE ☝☝☝☝☝

[@danutapawlak4452]

I agree

[@ghostdlited6840]

Put the dining room table in the kitchen, it can double as a center island work top :)

[@myrabbitispink]

put up one of those wildlife cameras on the trail to see what wild animals are roaming the area! those cameras are pretty cheap and can be strapped to a tree. they often come with motion activation and night vision

[@pilitathomason6993]

Carlo is so hardworking, the place is looking great.

[@cacatomas2342]

Good job Carlo , you are such a handy , hard working man All the best to you both

[@ElizabethEllen-ek6nk]

As a designer you never put any furniture against the walls. My suggestion is to put the dining table in the kitchen get rid of the island. Put the rug in the middle of the living room and the sofa and chairs on the rug. It will look a million times better plus make the house look bigger. ❤

[@barbarascura7288]

Exactly my thoughts

[@daydreamingofpuzzles]

I was thinking that the table set and living room furniture in the same room made it seem cramped and tight fitting. I like your idea, maybe Nikki will try it and show us 😊

[@theglowskingirl]

Agree! Table in line with the doors and that leaves expansive room for the couch and single chairs. There is much more room here than in Positano so opportunity to spread out.

[@michelemason1663]

Yes I completely agree 😊

[@neridamoore7635]

100% agree, one side needs to be kitchen and dining table and the other side just needs to be dedicated to the couches and seating.

[@kathyschemine3072]

I like the fourth way. The table by the stairs and the couch facing the stairs.

[@GoogleAccount-hz2co]

I agree

[@AdventuresMattAndZe]

Thumbs Up 👍 for room setting 4 from us too. The dinning table enjoying light from the window is great, but the settee 🛋️ opposite the dinning table does create a more interesting cosy look.

[@LaReynedeNeige]

One configuration not considered which I've thought about, is having the large table in the centre of the room, doing away with the small square table, centring the sofa against the wall facing the kitchen. Your large table can double up as your prep area, allowing you to face seated guests, and of course be your dining table when needed.

[@keagleeagle821]

I was waiting for this then i guess may be the space is not enough to put dining table at the center

[@Ellierua]

My thoughts too! I think a kitchen island is going there..

[@NilZed1]

I recall the previous owners had a big table in that spot.

[@LaReynedeNeige]

@@Ellierua If there's going to be an island, then no table at all, it's too much for the space.

[@debragonser745]

That’s what I’ve been thinking all along!!! Glad you said it

[@SSKKhalsa]

Liking the last two. You all are so social I think they open up the room to the continued conversation & don’t disengage the chef in the kitchen either. They rather include who’s ever there. So fun!

[@munchkinheaven7877]

I like the last one first and the last but one second

[@mariasilveira278]

Oh and your amazing husband Carlo is a master of many things and your outdoor lighting looks great!

[@ciaobella8963]

Carlo, you look great in your new jacket. And you are a blessing to your family with all that you do.

[@melissaferrell7115]

Carlo looks handsome in his new jacket

[@marieblakeslee1667]

And let’s talk about those cleared out pathways…just perfect! What a little slice of heaven you’re living in 😊

[@marciarelouw2522]

I like number four, but what I really love is your approach to home decor. No stressing about every piece of furniture and accessories. I love that you buy second hand, and make it yours. And your home is so warm and welcoming. I can’t wait to see your new kitchen.

[@Lindalu0422]

Carlo reminds me so much of my dad who was also a wonderful family man, handsome, sweet, handy, resourceful, and found working outdoors to be very relaxing.

[@Jendromeda]

mine too, he lived to age 91 and the last thing at home that he did was help to hang a clothesline, he passed about a week later quickly. Italian too ! Loved the autumn and outdoor work, shovelling snow into his 80's. Gardening in his tomato garden was a hobby of his too, almost a life style ! He was a great griller too...making italian sausage on the grill and chicken too, no one could match his grilling! I can't believe all the things he did. He built bicycles in his childhood in the 1930s. Yes, a WWII veteran too!

[@LYNNELYONS-x8k]

The lights look lovely Nicki x

[@Homesteadher1]

Carlo looks great in his new jacket! Loved this video at the market!

[@vashti2389]

I love the dining table near the stairs, and the sofa on the opposite side. I think it was option 4 or 5. Lovely video as always. 🇮🇹🌎🌏🌍❤️

[@priscillachapman9145]

@@pjt759 I do too. No grass grows under his feet!

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

Yes, the lighting turned out well.

[@mj24672]

Nicki, I just read that there is a large wolf population in Tuscany. A farmer in Tuscany, who had five sheepdogs to watch over his livestock, lost two of them to wolves. According to someone who has been involved with the wolf population in Italy, he gives the following advice: “Should you ever meet one or even a pack of wolves, never ever turn your back and run. If you have a coat or oversized clothing, pull it outside, alternatively wave your arms, make yourself big and a little larger than life, emit loud random noises, avoid eye contact, and slowly and gradually step backwards.” They are very territorial. He also recommends putting a leash on your dogs and fencing them in, if outdoors. Perhaps google Tuscany and wolves to get more information. It’s unfortunate but better safe than sorry. Love to you and Carlo. ❤️🇨🇦

[@samanthab1923]

Wow! That’s scary. I was just going to say they are mostly nocturnal & steer clear taking walks at dusk & at dawn.

[@kaseythames9246]

Yikes 😮

[@dreamingaway2024]

I agree 100% with @mj24672! Though they are nocturnal you can encounter them during the day. Many times if you see one they are others watching you that are hiding so be aware and follow the advice! I live in an area in Canada where wildlife is abundant and so we are reminded almost always that we share this area with other 4 legged wild creatures and we need to be careful. Though that doesn't mean staying indoors it just means being aware and doing the necessary steps to keep you and the dogs safe.

[@billyoliveira910]

Yeah they are not leaving.

[@janedouglas2991]

Wolves will not approach humans unless starving. You won't even know they are there, being very stealthy animals, also they don't waste energy on small dogs...hunting takes a lot of energy so they are mostly after something that will provide a decent meal (sheep mostly)

[@deedee9355]

As someone else said, I think the dining table would look best in the kitchen too, plus you can dump all your groceries there when you get home from the market 😊 Then you can even fit a love seat or TV stand in your living room, if you wanted too. Also, Carlo's new jacket looks great on him!

[@penelope8948]

The lights are perfect. Carlo is a hard worker. Lucky you!

[@paulabouwer6750]

Such a wonderful family, and Carlo is an absolute treasure

[@pjt759]

[@debbiekhwaileh255]

Carlo is a gem. He is so patient and sweet.

[@gilbert3848]

I use a battery operated horn (loud) to wear off wolves, bears, lynx and cayotes. The horn is so loud, it scares any animal and they run away. I've used it and it works. I would also suggest glow in the dark dog collars so that you can see where the dogs are at night when taking a walk. Each dog can have a different colour.

[@avivat3010]

light air horns are also available in Canada

[@ramonaportillo-bienemann3755]

Wouldn't you have to see them before blowing the horn? 😬 yikes. I suspect they are out at sunset or nighttime. It's probably best not to be out during this time. Be careful with your pups!!

[@johnboucher8226]

I use a 45/70 underlever

[@ibislife]

Never heard of such a thing. How annoying for people living in the area. We have wolves and lynx, mink and wolverines. When walking my dogs, 2 yorkies, I have never equipped myself with any tools. Never seen any animals in the daylight. Only cought on my wildlife camera.

[@lovelyskull3483]

Brilliant idea!

[@concettaczapla9888]

I liked the fourth choice!

[@katehobbs2008]

One thing I like about this show is that, like so many people, they have to buy old battered things and upgrade or repurpose them.

[@dolie71]

Love # 4 and 5. Dining table is closer to the kitchen and people sitting on the sofa have a great view of the kitchen and dining space.

[@tammyscott3868]

I like the third option best. When you first put the diner next to the steps. It was nicely balanced then.

[@WatashiwaNezuko]

Yes, I agree ❤😊

[@laurasnider957]

I like #4

[@Silvina46]

Agregar 😊

[@amikailua9504]

I think your table should be in the center of the room between the kitchen and living area. It looks a bit squishy and odd pushed up against the wall. This would open up the living area with more options for the sofa. BTW ... the driveway lights look amazing!

[@thorabaker7995]

We have Coyotes here in Southern California, and they do attack smaller dogs. When walking in the wilderness we always take shock sticks with us. We also have mountain lions so those work on them as well. Amazon sells some.

[@godisfrusciante]

How wonderful that Carlo is so handy! He put those lights in so quickly.

[@zanbudd]

That Carlo! Brings light to the darkness 🤩 Thanks for sharing all your adventures🙏🏼🦋

[@terriwho4339]

My two cents, for what it's worth. Difficult without having boots on the ground, but if possible, I'd take the large table out of that room, and put it in the room that you said was going to become a solarium/sun room, I believe? I think it's through the door that you put in the kitchen? Find a slightly larger table, that seats 4, and swap it out for the small table you have in the kitchen now. Then you will have a large area to place your living room items in. You've done an astonishing amount of work, in such a short time - it looks great.

[@sclarke8927]

One more idea - table closer to kitchen away fron couches?

[@vagabondspirit8786]

I think you should move the table Parallel to the kitchen and out of the living space. You will see it as soon as you walk in the room

[@Vinnie2580]

Hi Nicki, I love your home, Tuscany is so beautiful. My suggestion is, if it’s possible to put the table in the kitchen area so you can have the area as a family room…?

[@ronayneoreveee7613]

The dining table in the kitchen, so you have a divide between kitchen dining & relax area. Sofa looked nice 2nd to last.

[@nadezdadedic-robinson673]

My favourite furniture combinations are the last two.

[@4444marla]

I like the last two, and especially having the table with a window in the background!

[@pennynewell3459]

If it were me, I would center the sofa on the wall as in last option, with 2 arm chairs facing it. A small console table on the stair wall. Then open up the upstairs area for the pups like you had mentioned in an earlier video. I would use the dining table more in the kitchen area, instead of the small one there now.

[@Jmp5nb]

The last arrangement felt the best to me.

[@sydneycat9532]

Look number 5! (The last look!) Hooray! 😻

[@mrkerr1484]

#4 sofa on wall facing stairs, gives an open feel and doesn’t crowd the dining table

[@IVant2BAlone]

Second to last is what I like the best.

[@martinacatinelli]

I agree the sofa against the entrance wall looks the best. But I am conflicted that that area is a dining area and lounge...It just seems too cramped in. I would just create it as a lounge area and would put the table next to the kitchen.

[@maryanntownsend2889]

Do a monthly rotation with the furniture. The big table needs to be elsewhere. You’ll figure it out. Every woman in the world needs a Carlo. ❤️🙏🏽

[@NewSummitInc]

Love the new lights!

[@elenax.3387]

Number 4 looked instantly very cozy

[@CW-kq2vm]

I liked #4 the best, with the couch against the entrance wall. But, I really wish you would move the table into the center of the kitchen, getting rid of that smaller table. Put the couch in the middle of the back wall, and have a bigger actual living room space. 🙂

[@kksigurn]

They will have a island in the centre of the kitchen area.

[@WINDOW9226]

The last look for the sofa/table!...We had Coyotes in our area...There were dogs attacked here and they were the smaller dogs like Holly...However, 2 or more could also pursue a larger dog...A hand held "horn" to blast and/or Bear Spray were used....January - March is mating season when the Coyotes were more aggressive here(Northeast USA)....We kept our dog leashed when walking...We let him run free in a fenced in yard only during the day..Never at night...All the best....Beautiful Italy!

[@tamara8908]

The last furniture arrangement is the best. The dining table by the stairs is perfect. The sofa facing the kitchen gives it an inviting look.

[@Lovellyplantsandthings]

The last one feels like you could have fun with art and lighting. It also feel like the best configuration for cooking and chatting.

[@ibislife]

Nicky, please dont be afraid of the wolves. Since its only one footprint, it most likely is a single wolf, expelled from his pack. He is long gone by now. We get strays through our property every year. I picked one up on my wildlife camera. The next day he was spotted in the next village. The wolf had scratchmarked in the ice outside my door, and left a big pile of poop, it was full of fur from a moose, and bone fragments. We still have snow, and the wildlife camera, no pawprints or video footage since that time. Check with the locals, if there is a wolf pack in the area, if not it is what i call a stray. 😘 (I live in the woods, an hour from Oslo, Norway) Loved your video. Thank you!

[@lenoradellanno5429]

Second to last gives you space to pull the table away from the stairs for company 🌻

[@bernadetteoxford8898]

My opinion, for what its worth, I'd move the dining table away from the stairs, I think maybe it's just too much furniture trying to cram in a small space, place the sofa facing the kitchen and the chairs either side and find somewhere, maybe the middle of the room for the table and chairs. One thing I learned from an interior designer a few years ago was not to put all furniture against the walls. Wow i don't blame you for being cautious about the wolves, no advice to offer I'm afraid. The lights look awesome.

[@susanmulvey6311]

I agree, furniture, sofa too close to the walls.

[@mihaelamis4222]

Yes, agree. Why 2 tables in such a small space? Maybe Nicki wants a kitchen island and a fining table, but the space si just too small. I would use the dining table on the kitchen side and maybe buy another marching sofa. I assume this house will see a lot of guest, so sitting space is needed.

[@martinaryan5473]

[@pyl4472]

The last one with sofa near entrance facing kitchen is quite nice! I felt that the dining space looked quite cramped in that corner but now it’s next to the stairs it seems more welcoming.

[@jojoc60961]

[@lydiab5200]

Agree...The last one or the second last. Table looks best by the stairs and nothing is in front of the radiator.

[@annawhiteley3128]

The last configuration for the living area is the best, in my opinion. Having the dining table near the window feels the best to me🎉

[@ariag.8745]

@anna: Yes, wnd in addition, what about bringing a loveseat back down and putting it in front of the couch(back to kitchen), chairs still against wall? Funny, I actually liked pre couch configuration with loveseats in corner under stairs the best. The couch almost too big for room but yes, that last config I like but the added loveseat would allow for a group of 7 vs only 5 to sit there.

[@lauriep.1362]

#4 Set up. Love the Driveway Lights. Beautiful Job.

[@kellydurow1116]

I like the last configuration, but would be interested to see the table in the kitchen also. Always enjoy the videos!

[@lisjay8138]

Luv the cushions, the rectangle stripe cushion may look nice horizontal , infront of another cushion or at the side near arm rest, 🤔 The last two looks are fantastic, the beautiful dining table really looked good away from the corner, having the dining table a slightly more away from the heater and putting the lounge a little more away from the wall with a slight overlap on the rug will relax the look aswell.

[@danachilds721]

The jacket was made for Carlo! 5 ⭐s!! I think that once your kitchen is completed, you might find that you don't need the table. I would put it in the back room and make it a cozy eating space when you have lots of guests. Then I would put the sofa against the opposite wall facing the kitchen and two chairs on each side with a nice big ottoman or coffee table for everyone to spread out. Seems to be the right design option in terms of function and scale. I'm excited to see the finished kitchen!

[@jenng.7939]

I like this idea too! As well as #5.

[@ninasgriccia4652]

Yes, yes - the table by the stairs. It’s lighter and brighter. In the other corner, it looked dark and out of place. And like someone else said, the couch on the front wall opens up the space because of the big white wall. Great video!

[@sallybp2484]

I like the sofa facing the window, back to the kitchen. Cozy, especially with two comfy arm chairs.

[@SarahJurkowski11]

Definitely liking the second to last furniture change the best. To me it made the room feel more open, everyone still has visual access to the rest of the room.The kitchen table being against the entrance wall almost seemed like it was being "shoved" in the corner.

[@marclement24]

Another option. Put the dining table near the kitchen, whether near the door or near the door way to the toilet then place the sofa almost at the center and the chairs at both sides, leave some space for people to walk behind the sofa and chairs, so you can put additional side or corner tables, mirrors, decors, lamps, small cabinets, etc for additional storage.

[@Ponkelina]

I'd like to see that. Sounds like a good idea

[@gailnel8812]

Kitchen counter being made?

[@marclement24]

@@gailnel8812 check how it'd look first maybe they'll love it maybe not, then decide on kitchen counter. I'd like that set up, because it'll make the table multi-purpose, if not an important part of the kitchen, to put things on and easy access to ingredients being prepared while cooking, plus it has a lot of temporary space for stuff

[@FelipaArgenta]

I've just realized I started to watch your videos for u and Italy and lately I do it for your husband, you and Italy. Lovely family.

[@karenbethell4758]

I’d put the dining table in the middle of the room in front of the sink, get rid of small table.. it will be used more there and free up the living room area, put sofa in middle of back wall, lamp table either side 😊

[@Ponkelina]

sounds good

[@T_Barb]

I like the nook and this idea. I was looking to see if anyone else had my idea to try. The table as the room divider closer to the kitchen, then it’s even more room for sitting room. Couch in the middle of the back wall.

[@petrahartog5934]

I agree ...it will give a bit more living space . And for me the dining table doesn't work in that spot anyway . I did like the banister on the stairs ...you can paint it to match the room ...

[@sofaltini9463]

that's what I was thinking too. no need for two tables

[@nevisscot7697]

Why do you need 2 tables?.too much mix n match hasty buying..

[@deborahnottelling1760]

Clever Carlo putting all the lights in! I like all the combinations of furniture, but the last is the best because you can see outside when you are eating and it is cosier to have the couch in the corner if you want to read. Thanks again for a lovely episode and have fun with all the renovations.🔨

[@wildaltarose]

I liked number 5, the last the best. I never really liked the table on the other wall, but it is your home. You need to live with it, so it should be your choice. I must say I love the garden lighting, it brings a real welcoming vibe.

[@paulalusk5586]

The lights look great! Carlo is so good at all the house improvements, especially outdoors.

[@vintagemoss9578]

Canadian here, I live in an area on Vancouver Island with wolves, cougar and bears. You should absolutely keep your dog on a lead. Pets do not listen to you when they come across a wild animal and in many cases they will try to confront the wild animal. If you have her on a lead you have a chance to protect her. Wolves can be attracted by dogs so when you’re on a walk make sure you are talking and making noise so the wolf hears you as they tend to be shy animals. However dogs can attract them and see them as competition for their resources like food.

[@MbisonBalrog]

On a leash, made typo, but great advice. Do you have a gun or rely on spray, or do use pots/pans make noise?

[@AnAlbertaGirlAtHeart]

In Alberta, far more wolves here and they generally don’t bother dogs or people. Coyotes on the other hand lure dogs out and attack as a pack.

[@bellamarshall3394]

@@MbisonBalrog in the uk its called a lead

[@marshawargo7238]

Lots of people call it a lead. I've always said leash in Ohio but others near me call it lead including my sister. I don't live by wolves but coyotes will run off with cats & small dogs like Holly😢! Eagles will too!

[@kaseythames9246]

Yes I was gonna say coyotes are definitely more of a threat. We have a ton and they are menace to pets. I would suggest getting a ecollar and really working on 100 recall. She’s a border collie and will absolutely learn these commands at lightning speed. Make it a game they love using their brains. If your in a area you are not familiar then use a lead until you are sure she will return off lead. We use the e collar educator 2000 it has many functions the one we use is the vibrate. It has shock settings but you won’t need that with her. It’s just to get their attention.

[@victoriavicky2437]

The last position of the sofa is the best. It feels welcoming

That new sofa is just too big for the space.

[@soullessnight6539]

I would of chosen two, two seater sofa’s

The 2 nd last one is was the best. The lounge against the front door wall and just move the dining table away from the wall heater so that it’s more balanced in the room. To make room bigger move the lounge away from the corner put tall lamp in that corner and it will look bigger and better than being tight up against the corner. The House is looking great. Thanks for sharing your journey, it’s a beautiful location ❤

I love all that ornamental lawn furniture. Can easily see those four rockets out front on the porch & the small wrought iron table with two chairs on the side patio or on the other side where you come up the stairs you cleaned up. The outdoor lighting was a perfect choice. I was waiting for some lights in the trees & along the drive. Your place in Positano looks so pretty at night.

What joy it brings me ,after a hard day at work as a nurse to relax and enjoy your wonderful life and adventures. Never stop, its my therapy 😄

Too much cramped into small space. Leave the sofa and chairs only. Move the table to the kitchen area or make the dinning room out of the extra room where 2nd kitchen was. I think big table in the kitchen area would be amazing - it is where you spend a lot of time::)

Look no.4, so much space, have a good overview, table closer to kitchen. 😊

You’ve probably already asked your neighbors but in case you haven’t….. talk to the people that’s lived in the area a long time like the two men that helped when Carlos got the car stuck about the wolves. They will probably have good advice. Loved the video. Everything is looking great and it’s coming along fast.

2nd to last furniture arrangement definitely! More space for moving chairs in and out from table and floor space looks bigger, more spacious! X

I vote #4, or whatever the second to last one was. The table definitely belongs there next to the stairs whatever you choose.
