His exquisite taste in fabrics and decor have made B well respected in OLOF; he's decorated all the important houses, from his divorced older sister's Georgian manor to Aurelia Mandelbaum's mansion. Aurelia's myopic daughter Capri, still living at home at age 40, has been B's unofficial fiancee for 20 years, but this was their mothers' idea, not theirs. B avoids the messiness of romantic relationships, preferring to spend his time making the world elegant: "The rococo period where French design and Italian flair came together make my heart leap for joy." At the moment, he's got his eye trained nostalgically on the restoration of the town's Catholic church. Once he wrests the commission away from a fancy New York firm, B is faced with the scary task of having to turn his vision into reality. Conveniently, he meets a fancy Park Avenue architect and historian, Eydie Von Gunne, who specializes in churches and can recommend expert craftsmen. But first, B soothes his artistic crisis with a trip to England, where he buys Monica Vitti's chandelier, and then to Italy with Capri, who decides to live a little in spite of him. B embarks on the church restoration with the help of Brooklyn's noted fresco painter Rufus McSherry, who urges him to be daring rather than conventional. Resourceful B even saves the day by raising the last-minute money for the church's final stage. 650 0 $a Church decoration and ornament $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interior decorators. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Italian Americans. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Catholic women. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Painters. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Christian fiction. 651 0 $a New Jersey. $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 gsafd 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Hoye, Stephen. 939 $a 5386820 941 $a 6 945 $a cdab 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430012855.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804020540.0 952 $l DUPB413 $d 20201013032723.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720033857.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718020852.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418044316.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B405D8C2B0911DEBA4F1C08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
