The house I have in the USA (150 years old incredible house) is where I keep the bulk of my "stuff." Every piece in the house has been carefully selected and each piece comes from a part of the world that I have traveled to and returned with the item(s). It truly is a collection of my travels and the last 10 years of my life.
The living room is my favorite area. It has a "Shangri-la" feel to it with antique Buddhas everywhere, oversized plush furniture, teak wood and very expensive tables from various parts of Asia.
I have been away for 3 weeks and just got word that due to pipes in the ceiling bursting, my entire ceiling collapsed and just about everything in the room is totally ruined from water damage.
While insurance will probably pay for it, there are some things you just can't put a price on. It's not like I can run out to Pier One to replace these items.
I'm so sad I want to curl up and cry.
