It's also obviously a post that could fit in DIY Hub or Build-It or suchlike, or Living In Gift, because it was a free (!!!!!) stove AND wood pile!
But again, the physical-emotional-mental-spiritual benefits are the most significant aspect of this story for me: I feel like it happened in a divine-alignment kind of a way, which had little to do with me striving for my priorities or hunting solutions down: it literally unfolded with minimal effort or expense on my part.
The sweat and toil it did involve were nothing, compared to the riches I'm reaping of this stove warming, drying, cooking, healing, softening the light, ensconsing us all with great luxurious waves of heat....
The Arthouse has been bustling with crazy the past week – as I removed this wee ‘tent stove’ (really for high level camping) – and replaced it with this beast:
It feels like the core of the home has been activated!
It was no small job, and this is no average old stove that someone was throwing out… hear all about it in my podcast:

Or also here on Anchor.fm
In the meantime - here are some photos!
These were taken in early 2011 when I bought the house; as mentioned in the podcast, it took at least 10 years to get to the perfect core of the home - everything dismantled in slow, steady rhythm, and moving towards more harmony and comfort all the time...
And some snapshots from how the whole area looks now – cosy as **** - and harmonising daily into divine elegant simplicity!
We’re now doing weekly painting sessions as well as the first of the month ones: join us on my Jitsi Arthouse Studio HEREfrom 4pm Rome, Italy time.
AND let me know if you are in a particular time zone that requires a different hour that I can accomodate: I plan to have more regular sessions, and to open them to a wider category of creative expansion – so don’t be shy!
As ever, these sessions are gifted, and at the same time I live in Gift – see my Gift page about how to support my work.
