cancelli di ferro battuto
/
Our iron gates, cancelli di ferro, are ready for mounting.When I received an email this morning with the above subject and attachment, I was holding my breath until the attachement opened ... and I was so relieved when I saw it ! What a surprise!
What ? Surprise ? We had the draft of the design and agreed on it (below). Why surprise ?
WAIT - that's not the whole story.
Apparently, after we had agreed on the design, the 'artist' got inspired by my posts about iron gates (here and here). And he got a new idea. He wanted to integrate some design pattern that appears in our basement.
Maybe similar to my photo editing (below).
Okay, fine, we said. But, please send us a new drawing to make up our mind - soon.
And we waited and waited.
Yesterday, we asked again: "How about the new design?"
And here came the confusing answer:
"The gates are ready for mounting!"
"Scusi ?! What about the drawing ?! What if we do not like the design?"
The last message send out to Italy yesterday night:
"Please send photos immediately before mounting !"
So that's why, this morning, I am happy and relieved to see the gates made after the originally agreed design.
No extra pattern, no sweet curves, no flowers or hearts or "s".
What a nice surprise !
Now, let's wait how they look fixed - coming next.
