...has been slow over the past few month, for obvious reasons, but in practice we're now very close to being able to move in (and continue the work in-situ, rather than at the end of a commute).
The Lower Stairs: the railings have now been painted, and the doors stained (walnut - it looks quite handsome), while - mirabile dictu! - the upper door, which leads to the outside, now actually closes and seals.
A view of the Salone: pictures, mirrors, hangings are still all to come. When I can get my head round how best to transport them.
More Salone: the famous stove-from-Torino. Which is not yet plumbed in, but we have at least worked out with Sandro how it's to be done. Rome wasn't built in a day.
Yet more Salone: a rather dull picture, but justified by the fact that I'd finally managed to get that bloody curtain pole properly installed!
The Master Bedroom: the uneven-ness of the
floor means that the bed-frame is treachorous, if left to its own devices, and instead has to be held in place by that relatively discreet chain, which is attached to the roof beam....
In the woodstore-to-be, looking out to the entrance`courtyard, with the security gate for the archway waiting to be installed.
A corner of the kitchen, looking through into the Pranzo...
...and its almost-mirror-image, from the other side of the arch.
The four-footed, waiting to meet and greet at the entrance to the Pranzo from the stairs.
And more kitchen, with a Derby & Derby hearthside chair arrangement.
A view into the office (with the inevitable hand-drill and pot of paint in the foreground).
We're almost there!
