While we were out of town this past summer, a supply line to a toilet ruptured and ran for a week until a neighbor found it. Needless to say, our home had to mostly be gutted and we are starting the reno process. Is the stucco the gentlemen are putting on your fireplace plain stucco? If it was tinted would you mind sharing the color, it's simply gorgeous! I have also wanted marble countertops...which is the way I ultimately found your blog via your marble article (which I loved and will use to help plead my case to my hubby, who is a little resistant)...at the bottom of the marble article I saw the picture of the fireplace and I was instantly in love! Thank you for for sharing!!Katie Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655603679875100188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-5180378159051852922013-05-26T11:01:42.726-04:002013-05-26T11:01:42.726-04:00Thank you!

There is approximately 10" of foam in the ceiling of the barn giving it an R factor of 40+ and approximately 8" in all the walls giving them a R factor of 20+. We have been very pleased with the product and how toasty the barn stays in our cold winters. good luck!for the love of a househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151787635612708698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-13092036553330101742013-05-26T10:26:50.241-04:002013-05-26T10:26:50.241-04:00Could you tell me the specifics of the insulation ...Could you tell me the specifics of the insulation that I see in these pictures?

I loved scrolling thorough watch it come alive like one of those little flip books..the construction crew looked like little men moving all about and and things were going up before my very eyes. Love the sheer scale of the room...so beautiful, then that antique barn door...droolworthy! Love the fireplace and how you are taking "it all the way up"...fabulous! And loved the "renovation symphony" metaphor....maybe I will use that with my hubby next time I am complaining over at our construction site, that its too loud...he will look at me like I am an alien but it will be a welcomed statement after all my complaining..lol!
