For the first time this year, we are taking guests to visit the Loire Valley. This fertile region of France, best known for its spectacular chateaux, is also renowned for its pleasant climate and gentle living.

I wanted to design a tour for our guests that would include some chateaux visits, with a few gardens (of course!), some shopping, a cooking class and lots of good food and wine along the way. This is the foundation, and once I had that, I started adding in other ideas.

How a Data Nerd Approaches DIY Home Improvement Projects

I started 2021 by buying an 1885 hulk of a home, sight unseen, with visions of restoring its earlier grandeur. In almost two years, I’ve restored three of many rooms and tackled multiple smaller projects, by myself.

Do-it-yourself home improvements can save a lot of money, but that’s hardly the only reason to dive in.
