I was a volunteer firefighter with a full time job at the hospital and a side job bartending for many years, the training volunteer men and women have to go through is intense and on their own time and money. I'm sorry this happened to you, but glad you were able to rebuild your home, it is stunning... most people suffer displacement and significant loss. Best wishes!
So sorry you went through such a horrific fire, but your rebuild is absolutely breathtaking, beautiful gorgeous, and I know you are grateful thankful and blessed. PS you don't really need children John's sort of takes that spot LOL , that's a toys and that's studio, Can never get bored. Then when you're hungry walked on the stairs and you have a wife who is a chef. Great space great life, well deserved💕
Rachael, Your home is gorgeous! I love your style, where everything in the home must belong, and be personal and meaningful. So happy for you and John!
Such a beautiful and personal home. I love homes that reflect the lives of the people that live there. Many happy blessings to you both for a lifetime in your home!
Oh Rachael and John beautiful just beautiful.. I'm glad the clock survived I got choked up, Ok now. I totally relate .. we had a fire when we were kids. Almost nothing compares.
Oh Rachel, I am so sorry that you guys had to experience that. You're home is absolutely beautiful!!!! I LOVE your cooking show AND that your husband makes appearances. You both are loved.
It's so fun to see you both happy back in your 'original' home. I was glad to see John finally get to his room as every piece shown in the rest of the home was reflective of Rachael or from her friends or family. Unless I missed it I didnt see and art, decor, or certain parts of the build that represented John. But a beautiful home and now you can create new memories in the new space to make it feels just as comforting as before.
Thanks for sharing the updates on your house. It feels very homey and inviting. My favorites are the nook, the hall to the Big wood's studio, and the studio itself if that makes sense. I love how you tell the story of each painting and furniture. They speak to your love for nature and simplicity in the joy of living! The house is filled with memories and I can only imagine your happiness sharing those memories with the world. Thank you.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the reclaimed barn wood and wood plank floors!!! I am a HUGE lover of the farm/barn style decor, but I really love your kitchen and fireplace. OMG!! So much counter space!!! That oven and cook top are to die for!!!! You two have such incredible and amazing taste to be able to make such a massive home feel so welcoming, comforting, BEAUTIFUL, and secure. There is such an underlying joy in your home. One gets the feeling that it wouldn't take much for extreme laughter and joy to break out at any moment. So much LOVE, BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES, and BEAUTIFUL MEMORBILIA went into making your home exude so much love. I love seeing people displaying and carrying the families' gifts, talents, history with memorabilia that has been passed down. Then lifting them up in pride and love for all to see and experience. Now you all need to create more wonderful memories!!
Rachel, My home burned to the ground in March of 2009. No one can understand unless you have lived it! I still go to look for things and have to stop and remember “Oh yea, I don’t have that anymore!”Your new home is beautiful. So happy for you.
You are amazing! How wonderful for you and John to have built back your beautiful home. I also want to say your home in Italy is also very lovey! Thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you for sharing that with us, I can't imagine what you've going through. I met you one time many years ago at a book signing in King of Prussia PA. You're as friendly and genuine as you appear in this video, I'm so glad you're back in your beautiful home! Buona Fortuna! 🏡❤️
Sorry this happened to your family, the renovation turned out beautiful, I love everything. I’m glad you were able to capture you & your Hubby’s style. Living in CA I definitely need to have my fireplace checked more often. Your Isaboo is there in spirit!
What a beautiful home. So nice of you to share. I started watching your show when we were in lock down. I have come to love your program. You are such a down to earth person, thank you for helping me through the pandemic ❤️
Thats awesome you got to build it almost exactly the same, personally I would have liked to probably do some things different. I guess you really loved the first house! Congrats for being back ‘home’.
Good job guys, I am sure it was a labor of luv...Thank you for sharing. I am 77, in Ohio in an Assisted Living n I luv the Adirondacks. Many happy shows ahead....
Everything looks so Beautiful I'm so happy for the both you I was so heartbroken for you two when we saw the fire you two ate safe in a brand new home so lovely God bless
I Love You Rachael Ray l!! I'm so happy 😇 for y'all. Y'all went through a lot and you got it all back together it's absolutely beautiful. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!🌻🌻🌻
We lost our everything in September 8th 2020 Holiday Farm Fire in Oregon. Good for you two. We are still waiting for building permit 2 years+ later Prayers
Rachael - I've been watching ur cooking shows (and other shows) from Day 1. I've always enjoyed seeing u cook away - unfortunately, I'm not a cook. So glad ur house has been rebuilt. Fires are the scariest things ever - and our fire-fighters are the BRAVEST people. Keep on Cookin'.
I am so happy that you got your house rebuilt, It's a jaw dropping beautiful home, Please tell John that I love his Man cave/ recording studio, I play the piano by ear, so, I am a huge music lover,
My granddaughter's house burned early August. Very sadly lost their cat but 2 dogs saved. They were at work. It was electrical. Such a shock. Just so thankful they are safe. Yes firefighters are heros. She is just starting to feel a little normal again. Putting a trailer on the land until they can rebuild. Your house is gorgeous. It is wonderful to be able to put such thought into your rebuild. I wish you many happy years in your home.
