Me and my mate Valentine

home alone after long wonderful weekend.

A house filled with dear friends and family, 

sharing meals, memories and future.

Today I'm up for final preparations having a plate of limestone

cut to protect the wooden floor in front of the tiled stove.

Precise measurements are done using some leftovers of an 

old plaster board. Makes it easy to readjust the round part for 

the tiled stove and have a perfect template made for the stonecutter.

Odd remains made of nature's own materials add significant elements into interior decoration.

Sometimes perhaps unexpected but also a great way of recuperating old building materials.

Flourishing lines of sandstone painted in mortar, aged cast iron,

 limestone from the nature's quarry in contrast with fine silk damask.

❤Valentine's Day❤

P.s. Our youngest tuned in (longhaul) on Skype for a dinner chat with everyone.

Most appreciated.....❤❤❤
