The most lovely thing about this tour was the couple! What a sweet relationship they have. His sense of humor is adorable and her appreciation that he created the lifestyle she wanted is so apparent. The home is so comfortable and all of the art work elevates their interior to a bit of a museum. Thanks for such a great video, as always!
