Living Room Panorama.jpg
180 view of the parlor. In the winter the Vermont casting wood stove with its glass front serves as a fireplace warming the common room for all. Behind that is a site specific sculpture in blue stone of the journey, a stylized Celtic dragon and phoenix. Relax, make yourself at home!
