Hello Chris, Hello All, It is possible to renovate without being present in Italy. The key is having an excellent team on the ground. My initial idea was to do this for myself. However, that would have been very stressful and less successful. Instead Jessica Piazza of Antica Trieste, recommended the Faton Krasniqi company. We are so pleased with the results.
Hello Chris, Hello All, So we are tiling in Trieste. As this home is 1950s, we are going with a mid century modern theme. This equates to white walls with terracotta floor tiles. We are using the same tiles and paint throughout. We hope this will give the home consistency and flow. Jessica Piazza of Antica Trieste and the Faton Krasniqi company are my allies in this effort. I cannot praise them enough for the careful, through and professional work. These people are my go to for real estate and renovation. Professionals with pride. ❤️
Oooo I love those tiles. I have heard about tiling over the existing tiles as a perfectly cost effective way of avoiding a huge mess of taking out old tiles but I have never seen the process. This is going to be beautiful!
Hi Guys! As you know we recently purchased a property in Torrita di Siena. It is beautiful historic house in the historic center and we love it but is does need some love. Our architect Lorella is working diligently behind the scenes and we hope to have some film too. Very exciting!
@Cruden Charles Hi Charles! Right now we are at the part where we get the estimates and make decisions. Measurements have been taken and people have been in and out. Lorella is getting permits as well. As soon as I get some video I will share them. Thank you!
@Cruden Charles Hi Charles, We normally let the architect use her guys. They generally have a good working relationship and they coordinate well. I think you chose wisely.
