"...I had forgotten all about the prediction when, on a beautiful summer's evening in 2004, I caught a glimpse of Andrea on the square in Montemerano, and instantly knew that my fate had caught up with me. I didn't know a word of Italian, but in disregard of all reason and under the sole command of my heart, I went back to Copenhagen, struggled to learn Italian, gave notice at my job and sold my flat, car and belongings..."

"Andrea made his living from being the local carpenter and joiner, he restored houses and antiques, and in his free time he applied his artistic talents to making the most beautiful cutting boards and furniture. Samina didn't fall in love just with the man, but with the Aladdin's cave of beautiful hand tools, antiques and curiosities, and exquisite unique creations..."

#01 - Restored Farmhouse by Architect Bernard de Clerck

The inspiring restoration work of architect Bernard De Clerck with reclaimed wood floorboards supplier, Corvelyn.

#03 - Restored farmhouse by Architect Bernard de Clerck

The old planks in this kitchen are from a warehouse in France and have a width of up to 50 cm (over 19 1/2 inches.)-Corvelyn (new & reclaimed wood floors)

#04 - Restored farmhouse by Architect Bernard de Clerck

#05 - Restored farmhouse by Architect Bernard de Clerck

The wide planks have the unusual characteristic of being tapered; the original craftsman wanted to keep the planks as wide as possible, so followed the natural tapering of the trunk when he cut the wood. -Corvelyn (new & reclaimed wood floors)
