While this gives our home a sense of grandeur and space, it has given us new challenges with regards to our art collection.

Move in day.  Finding places for all our things in our new space. After many happy years of living in semi-rural, beautiful Warrandyte (24 km east of Melbourne CBD see previous post here ).
