1 he living room is an example of what can be 
done with simple, well-chosen pieces arranged 
for a maximum of comfort. At ojie end is a fine 
Colonial mantel with a padded fender before it. 
A deep couch stands to one side and a wing chair 
at the other. A writing group has been created 
between the windows and the music corner is in 
the foreground. The curtains are simple sun- 
fast made with plain valances. Gay-colored linen 
covers give tone variety to the furniture 
A sense of freedom and openness, so 
essential to a country house, is felt 
in this view looking from the living 
room across the hall into the dining 
room. The difference in levels gives 
a noticeable added attraction to the 
larger room 
Off the living room entrance is given 
to a paved terrace through a French 
door. From this is commanded a 
view across the hills and woods. The 
old moon cut shutters and black 
hardware are in keeping with farm¬ 
house architecture 
The main entrance follows the Colo¬ 
nial classic proportions, with post and 
lattice work in place of the usual 
stock columns. The door has an old 
Colonial fan light at top and two 
leaded lights on the side. Bricks form 
the floor
