THE HISTory
We were living in Bangkok when we bought the recently abandoned farm house with the dream of restoring it to its former glory and once again becoming a family home. Over the next 11 years Hayley's father poured his lifetime's experience in renovating houses into transforming the house into our dream home in the sun.
