Old World character and quality prevail in this whole-house remodel project.  Upon entering, visitors are welcomed by the enticing charm of a Tuscan villa, reproduced using authentic hand-hewn ceiling timbers, wide-plank flooring, classically scaled trim, artfully finished wall and ceiling textures, and arched passageways throughout.  Encompassing the entirety of the first floor's public spaces, the design results are cohesive, timeless, and incorporate design surprises at every turn.  These features are as authentic as one could hope for on this side of the Atlantic.
