home of distinction
63
Top: The Tomasellis wanted to
open the original floorplan with
the living room, dining room and
kitchen in plain sight of each
other. Authentic to the home was
a telephone niche. The Moroccan
details extend the Moorish theme.
The Tomasellis had the niche ret-rofit
with a USB port for cellphone
charging. They restored the original
front door, top right, but removed
French doors, left. Far left: The plas-ter
ceiling was removed, exposing
beams that were, along with the
fireplace, refurbished in the retrofit
living room.
