When the house was built in the mid
1800's, this room was the
Parlour Room. A Parlour Room was used only for special
occasions and for very special people. We felt it would be
fitting to keep the name. The focal point
of this room is the mantle and fireplace.
The mantle is oak with a beveled mirror and
the fireplace has original ceramic tiles. This room is
situated on the eastern side of the house enabling one
to delight in the wonderful sun rises that can turn a blue sky to
pink in the early morning light. Enjoy the verandah that surrounds
the room on the south and east sides. The cream and burgundy
wallpaper and wide matching border are complimented by the floor to
ceiling country curtains.
A restful
night's sleep can be enjoyed in the queen bed that has matching
night tables and dresser. Check out the wood inlay table that Arno
designed and made. The intricate design took many hours to plan
and complete. It is an ideal place to sit and write letters, play
a game of cards or enjoy a glass of wine. The spinning wheel
reminds us of yesteryear, when a sweater was truly "made from
scratch". This room is 12'x20' and is on the main floor
which makes it ideal for people who do not
want to climb stairs. The new ensuite
bathroom ensures privacy. Also included in the Parlour Room
is a TV/VCR.
