Spring has almost sprung in Central Ohio (maybe only one or two evil snow days left). Your spouse is cranking up the spring honey-do list. There may be no space of your house which needs to be freshened up after a waaaaaay-too-long winter than your garage. It’s gritty, grimy, nasty, bug-infested mess from the salt and dirt which are the winter seasons oh-so-lovely remnants (does it sound like I’m not a Winter fan?).

Well, I’ve had the opportunity to tour the home of Rosemarie Rossetti and Mark Leder in Columbus– and as you’ll see this is not my first tour of their home.

In case you haven’t had the chance to follow along in Part 1 of the series I looked at how Rosemarie and Mark…
