    Looking great BUT….Why are you not throwing a bed sheet over your furniture when you are doing things like painting and sanding 🤦🏽‍♀️.

    The paintings are so beautiful, but I think it would be better to put them all together on the same wall and hang an antique mirror above the fireplace. In that way, the light coming from the windows would reflect and it would be much brighter. Well done for the ceiling, you did a great job!

    I love seeing your artwork, Alla. You are so talented! It looks beautiful over the fireplace. Sergi, all of your hard work on the ceiling beams have made a HUGE difference in the living room. Love it, love it, love it! Love it all. Thank you both for taking us along with you to experience a traditional night out on Lake Como. Loved the church bells! xx Pamela 💋

    Alla, your paintings are beautiful! You should have prints made and sell them to raise more money to fund your house. I wanted also to tell you how much I am enjoying your channel and I look forward to seeing your next creations. You were quite the inspiration and I am now changing my bathroom to be like yours. It is so beautiful! Today I found the sconces and a mirror and I bought paint to hopefully be able to give my walls some sort of treatment that will make them look like yours in your bathroom. It is very beautiful.! 😊

    I’ve always been a fan of mirrors over fireplaces on solid walls. It allows for the reflection of the outside. I love to see the trees and flowers from outside reflected in the mirror.

    I love your paintings but have you considered a large mirror ?? It would make the room look really bigger.the stairs would look amazing with your artwork on just one wall as you climbed down the stairs and admire it?? Just a thought

    Your entrance room with all those white walls like a gallery, just outside your kitchen is the pefect place for your beautiful artwork. The transition from outside to inside with all your beautiful artwork would bring the outdoors in like you wanted. In the brocantes you have, I'm sure you could find a mirror with frame same color as fireplace (if not, you could paint it same color) or gold, for over fireplace and maybe layer with other accessories that could include your artwork and other pretty things you have.

    I agree with a previous comment, a large mirror over the fireplace and your BEAUTIFUL paintings some where on your home. You can find a reasonable priced mirror in one of your local antique or brocante shops I'm sure! You are both doing a great job and you have wonderful taste. I remember when you started and you have come a long way! And your garden is so beautiful! I wish I had that talent because l love flowers..I only plant zinnias ...in fact every year in memory of my Mom. She always planted them. And they make nice bouquets to bring inside. Hello from Kansas City, USA ♥️♥️♥️😘👍

    Me too that was my first choice. It just goes so well with her wall murals or wall art. It was simple I’d like simplicity she has two lovely scones on each side of the fireplace on the wall. That’s perfect less is more and doesn’t take away or look cluttered.👍

    My dear people, should you be in the room when paint chips are flying loose and making dust? Does the old paint have lead? Then it would be dangerous for yourself and Cherie to be there. You can be poisoning yourself and the dog! They have lead testing kits for paint chips and if you find yourself more tired than usual, you should get a blood test.😊 The best thing for getting rid of heavy metals in your blood is garlic pills or cilantro pills everyday. Remember, don't take your health for granted.
