Again this room has an “Arts and Crafts” fireplace. The ceiling in this room is a masterpiece created at a time when plasters were artists in their own right the, detail is quite phenomenal. Perhaps the quirkiest features of the room are the designer sofas, which mix in a modern twist. With wooden floors and decadent rug this room is a designer’s delight.
