House & Garden 
A bedroom is on the I 
ground floor off the 
hallway. The rough 
ceiling beams are ex¬ 
posed and against 
them is contrasted 
the white woodwork 
of doors and win¬ 
dows. A cavernous 
fireplace is on one 
side. The bed is a 
low four poster with 
an embroidered cov¬ 
er. Samplers and 
sketches hang on the 
walls

In front of the living 
room windows has 
been set a scrollend 
sofa with a Chip¬ 
pendale armchair be¬ 
side it and a folding 
top table on the 
other side to make 
a cosy grouping. Be¬ 
tween the windows 
hangs a banjo clock. 
The furniture was 
picked up from time 
to time in New 
England
