A note from Vanessa:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always known that having a home that speaks to your soul is fundamental to a happy life and living well. This belief deepened for me after my husband passed away suddenly in 2016. Later that year I moved into a new home, and renovated and decorated nearly every square inch of it over the next three years. The process has been healing, and the end result is a beautiful home that provides comfort and peace during life\u2019s twists and turns.\u201d<\/i>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1629268006074{background-color: #f7f5f1 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1632795009085{padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
