Master craftsmen at work on the library



Tom and Norm put their heads together to build our library bookshelves

From the beginning, the library landing has been the heart of our renovation. Paul Rovinelli spent countless hours with us designing it. He knows Bill and I are book lovers—to put it mildly—and wanted a special space to enjoy our collection with our children. The library isn’t large, but it will be a congenial space, full of light, and the warmth of books. Bill will additionally be able to store his substantial stamp collection here thanks to the custom cabinets designed to accommodate his albums. Up until now, that collection has been in storage. The window seat will be an inviting spot to curl up with a book, do some homework, or play

a board game. I can’t wait for it to be finished!

And that day is drawing closer. final week, Tom and Norm put their heads and hands together to craft the cabinets and built-ins for that gorgeous space, and it was a thrill to watch.  Knowing that two masters put their combined expertise into that space will manufacture it even more special for our family. Thank you, Tom! Thank you, Norm! We couldn’t be happier with how things are shaping up.
