Work in Progress – Anguilla, BWI
Posted on February 5, 2021February 5, 2021

Work in Progress – Anguilla, BWI

We’re almost done!  I’m getting ready to take the ferry back to St. Martin for a few days and then I’m going home. I do miss pain in the butt (sometimes) Rome but thrilled/relieved I was able to finally make it to the job site in Anguilla. Building a new beach house on a small … Continue reading Work in Progress – Anguilla, BWI

Grazie, Thank You, Merci!

Grazie, Thank You, Merci!

Greetings from a construction site. I’m finally out of my fourteen day quarantine here in Anguilla. The contractor and his crew have returned to the job site. I spent the first week of quarantine at the boutique hotel Frangipani. I was supposed to be there only two nights but there was no way my sister-in-law … Continue reading Grazie, Thank You, Merci!

Introducing RENO ITALIANO, our HGTV pilot!

Introducing RENO ITALIANO, our HGTV pilot!

I can finally talk about it and I’m trying to be zen.  As if it’s just another day at the office.  However, I have zero chill and I’m completely geeking out.  The renovation TV show pilot I’ve been working on will air this Friday on HGTV.   Yes, that channel.  Seriously, what is my life right now?   Our show is … Continue reading Introducing RENO ITALIANO, our HGTV pilot!

Lockdown in the Caribbean –  No Liming
Posted on April 30, 2020May 1, 2020

Lockdown in the Caribbean – No Liming

Greetings from my parents’s veranda. Liming is Caribbean slang for hanging out.  Spending time with family and friends.  A party.   There’s no liming going on here. I arrived in St. Martin a day before all Air France flights to and from Italy were canceled.  Sheer luck.  I had booked my trip after a major … Continue reading Lockdown in the Caribbean – No Liming

Work in Progress – Anguilla, British West Indies

The last few months have been off the charts hectic, in a good way. One of the projects I’m working on is a new beach house on Meads Bay Beach in Anguilla.  I don’t know how or why our job site suffered only a little damage during Hurricane Irma, the strongest hurricane ever recorded in … Continue reading Work in Progress – Anguilla, British West Indies

White Kitchens –  Yes or No?
Posted on October 31, 2018

White Kitchens – Yes or No?

Put me firmly in the YES camp. I’m the middle of sourcing cabinets for our Anguilla Beach House Project.  As I read various online design magazines and blogs, it appears that white kitchens are “out”.  People are sick of them.  Apparently, they are boring and show no creativity. I disagree.  I strongly believe that kitchens … Continue reading White Kitchens – Yes or No?

Guest Post – Studying Abroad in Rome

Ciao Bloggisti, This is the last post from our intern, Ariella.  I asked her to write about her overall experience studying in Rome.  It was a pleasure to work with Ariella and we wish her the best as she continues her studies at Cornell University. I have spent the last four and a half months … Continue reading Guest Post – Studying Abroad in Rome

Before & After  – Via Banchi Vecchi Project
Posted on November 30, 2016December 30, 2017

Before & After – Via Banchi Vecchi Project

Ciao Bloggisti, Earlier I wrote about the Via Monserrato project.  One of the other apartments we worked on was located two blocks away on Via Banchi Vecchi.  It was a new apartment for our client. The apartment was empty so we didn’t have the same logistical issues but two bathrooms, and the kitchen had to … Continue reading Before & After – Via Banchi Vecchi Project

Life in Rome – My Post Milan Funk

Life in Rome – My Post Milan Funk

I’ve been in a weird mood since returning from Milan the other week. I’m crashing from the Salone del Mobile high, Prince is dead, and I have a  cold.  I rarely get sick but when I do it seems as if my colds have a need to make up for lost time or something. When … Continue reading Life in Rome – My Post Milan Funk

Life In Rome – Interview And Photo Shoot with Gina Gomez

I do not like having my photo taken.  Correction, I’m game when I’m in a group shot. It’s not just because the camera adds ten to fifteen pounds.  It’s because I feel like a big dork standing there while the photographer snaps. Thanks to social media, I had to get over my discomfort.  That said, … Continue reading Life In Rome – Interview And Photo Shoot with Gina Gomez
