Never How You Imagined...

I must admit to an acute case of House-Renovation-Exhaustion. The major symptom of this disease, in all its discombobulating manifestations, is an overwhelming Desire... and we are talking way beyond a Greek-pull-your-hair-out-flail-your-body-and-throw-yourself-on-the-ground sort of Despair... to just have anything/everything/all-of-it Finished & Done-with, kicking to the winds any worry of what The World... OR, Dr. You!!!... might hazard to say regarding the End Result!!!
Before we venture to Our Main Drama, let's first turn to La Nostra Cucina... isn't the A+++ frig nice? Very Silver AND energy efficient. Uses nearly ZILCH electricity. You & I love it!!! I could not imagine how much the half-walls to support the marble counters would eat-up the Kitchen's space. Glad I did not buy that haus-frau table from Our Esteemed Antiques Dealer. Forced to take one of those Crucial Choices... It's either The Table OR the Kitchen!!! Fine. You & I opted for La Cucina. But still, seems to be much less space than what appeared on Kitchen Drawing #478-C!!!
OK... I feel brave enough now. Notice anything different? Yes, a darn door!!! Not the Official Front Door to La Casa Grande but, it will be the one we'll use the most to get inside La Casa Grande. So, are you all up for it? Let's go inside...
Oh... My... God!!! The windows are so dinky. Something copied from the Dwarf's Lodge in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Gosh. Well, Our Windows are in. Moving on...
let's dance out to the Garden to see if they look dinky from the outside. Golly, they appear almost quaint. I hope quaint in Italian is something like carino for Dr. You. It's A Concept he can understand.
Yep. Pretty darn quaint. And funny-looking too!!!
Ohhh! Real quaint. Yet, it's kind-of cute. Cute is nearer to carino than quaint. No sense in scaring the Poor You that... suddenly... Our Poggiolo looks like a Hobbits hutch. He's an Italian. They do NOT understand Our English Sense of Quaint Design alla Middle Ages. You does not vibrate over thatched roofs. Brick & Stone & Terra-cotta, yes. Hay to keep the rain out, no. 
On the other hand, whether Our New Windows are cute, quaint or carino, they will keep out the heavy rains due in tonight. Big storms are in the immediate Forecast. Day 20 of incessant O2. Gads.
