A VERY CREATIVE PROJECT

I believe I mentioned we had purchased a weekend getaway in Rancho Mirage.  Also, that we are fortunate to have secured the advice of a superb architect, Lance O'Donnell  (See his own house in DWELL magazine) and the services of 2 very savvy contractors, Fred and Mario.  With all things "top" the renovation of the 1957 Wexler designed property is going to take time.  As we used to say in the clothing  business, we had wanted it finished "yesterday".  However, Terrazzo for the flooring takes 8 weeks after ordering, plans needed to be approved and when you told the architect that there should be 2 hooks in the guest bath:  the plans were changed again!  Now all is go: what with the flooring being ordered today, plans approved and, of course, knowing we will be way over budget.  Luckily, M is very good at finding appliances and fixtures at a reasonable price on the internet, so that will help with overall cost.  If Paris was a trial selling and moving out of; this project will be exciting and moving into.  Demolition begins TODAY!
