Inside Bedroom #3
 
Description: As you can see, a lot of work has already been done in this room: plastering, flooring, a new roof, etc. One of the odd things is that whoever was doing the work intended to create a loft. This may be a very good idea, however, the beam that supports the stairs is only about five feet off the ground! Maybe he was short? :)
 
 
Vision: This staircase will have to be replaced with a better design. A loft or attic space above would have spectacular views of the mountains and river below!
 
     
   
 

These are some classic books about living life to the fullest in Southern France and Northern Italy. These books also celebrate the process of renovating older buildings in this area.
