When we bought ‘Casa sul Monte’ the house had a random selection of old shutters, grilles and doors on its various entrances and windows that were poorly maintained and painted quite a unique and rather unpleasant shade of dark mustard yellow!
'Beppe' Bartolini, a local carpenter and brilliant traditional craftsman, was commissioned to manufacture a full set of new, custom made doors, windows and shutters for all openings.
Using beautiful honey coloured Douglas Fir timber with a natural transparent sealant he has manufactured a full set of fittings for the house that have all now been installed.
The results are wonderful … the softly grained timber shutters blending perfectly with the local stone. These ‘before and after’ images of these casements speak for themselves!
