We Did It Again! Restoring Another Forgotten Room in Our Lake Como Villa

✨ We did it again. After three long days of dust, lime render, and aching arms, another forgotten room in our historic Lake Como villa has finally come back to life. When I started this morning, I honestly thought I would only finish part of the walls… but after seeing how close we were, I simply couldn’t leave that last corner unfinished. Luckily, my husband came upstairs to help, and together we crossed another huge milestone in restoring this beautiful old home. Join us as we transform crumbling walls into a bright, peaceful room on the third floor - one careful layer of render at a time. If you enjoy restoring historic homes, old European villas, château renovations, slow living in Italy, and authentic DIY restoration, I think you’ll feel right at home here. ⸻ Welcome to At Home on Lake Como. We’re restoring a centuries-old Italian villa almost entirely by ourselves, sharing every success, every mistake, and every lesson along the way. There are no contractors. No television crew. Just two ordinary people trying to save an extraordinary house while building a life worth remembering. Every room we finish is one step closer to bringing this beautiful old villa back to life. If you’re new here, we’d love to have you join our growing community. ❤️ Subscribe and become part of the adventure. #LakeComo #HistoricHome #VillaRestoration #ItalianVilla #HomeRenovation #DIYRenovation #HistoricHouse #OldHouseRestoration #TheChateauDiaries #RichmondMade #ManorAndMaker #SlowLiving #Italy #RestorationProject #DreamHome #EuropeanHomes #LimePlaster #RenovationJourney #CountryLiving #AtHomeOnLakeComo
