Today, our much-anticipated shelves arrived! During construction, we discovered the former fireplace in the master bedroom; we promptly re-opened it in order to form a niche. Our choices were to install shelving in the niche or find a chest of drawers or other furniture to put in it, but the best choice was shelving for a variety of reasons.
Time to get Maurizio and Roberto on the job! Maurizio was in charge of sourcing and cutting the wood, and Roberto was our choice for the carving and finishing. We are so very happy with what they did. I asked Roberto to find a way to incorporate the design from my armoire that dates to the 1700s, and boy, did he ever do a great job!
I can't wait to put some of my special things on it!
Love,
Alexandra
