From Agios Dimitrios village our house on the hill is the one on the right |
And we had only 28 days before our flight back to the States.
This was the furnishing we bought with the house. |
It’s downstairs was filled with boxes of belongings of the sellers – they would be stored with us the first week of ownership waiting for shipment to England.
Step One: Out with the old. (Not a lot of takers for the old stuff – but we did get rid of it!)
Step Two: Give some life to the sterile interior. (Painters arrived the first week!)
Testing colors and prepping the walls |
Then and now. . . |
Then and now. . . |
We bought smaller furniture.
Then and now. . . |
And have opted for a country-style décor in this country home set in an olive grove.
Then and now. . . |
Then and now. . . |

And we were at the end of our stay by the time we got the walls finished in the bedroom, but we'd made a start! There’s a lot more to do to decorate this place, but that will come in due time. We look forward to the scouting trips for accent furniture, wall décor and other adornments that are out there waiting to be found.
Sorry for the length of this one, but so many of you have asked to see the interior that I had to do a bit of ‘show and tell’ today. Next week, I’ll show you what we got accomplished in the garden when the weather permitted as well! Thanks for being with us today!
