In the main living area, there is usually a large dining table; a smaller table
is used for occasional cheesemaking. High on the walls at the back of the room hang family photographs. Hung from hooks, set in the stone arch, which divides the living room, and on shelves, are farm implements, such as cheese moulds, donkey saddles and goat bells. At various times of the year villagers store potatoes, onions, olives and gourds at the back of the room under the bench, which is covered by a homemade blanket. In the more well-off houses, there is a cupboard in the living room for a limited supply of plates and cutlery. The floor, of earth or stones, is a continuation of the yard, and little fuss is made about it becoming dirty. Every day the women sweep the house and yard, sometimes hosing down the whole area. Separate from the main living room and bedrooms is a dining room. No simple bulb or oil-wick here, but a large chandelier suspended over a central table with modern cloth, lace doilies and napkins. Stiff shiny chairs surround the table. Against the walls of the room there are one or two trunks containing trousseaux and covered by a small rug. On a sideboard, often plastic laminate, are cut glass pitchers, drinking glasses, framed family photographs and a vase filled with plastic flowers. Around the walls are prints of Bavarian mountain scenes, romantic nymphs on Italian lakes, and icons of Christ and the Virgin. Side by side are sets of photomontage family portraits. This formal salon is used for visitors, although a loom may be kept in one corner. If above the ground floor, a thin wooden partition conceals one or two small bedrooms. Normally bedrooms open on to the main living area and are separated by only a slightly raised wall or wooden rail. Simple sheets and blankets and often a heavy wool cover of traditional design cover the beds. In the absence of attics, beds crowd together in a single space. Girls and boys sleep apart from their parents but are close enough to overhear parental activity. After the age of five, children of different sexes are segregated within the bedroom, but they all sleep together in the same room.A framed paper poster that brings quiet, lived-in warmth to your walls. The print sits behind shatter-proof plexiglass in a matte black pinewood frame, the white mat breathing space around the image and the brown paper backing giving the whole piece a handcrafted finish. Choose between a textured fine art paper—thicker, with a tactile, watercolor-like feel—or a bright semi-gloss photo paper for punchy, crisp colors. Each frame arrives ready to hang with pre-installed hardware and rubber bumpers so it hangs straight and protects your walls. Available in multiple sizes and orientations to fit a cozy corner, entryway, or gallery wall.Product features - Choice of fine art (310 gsm) or semi-gloss (260 gsm) paper - Matte black 100% pinewood frame with shatter-proof plexiglass - Pre-installed hanging hardware and rubber bumpers - Available in 10 sizes, horizontal and vertical options - Vibrant color printing; assembled in the USACare instructions - Clean framed prints with a slightly wet cloth when necessary.
