The adjoining sitting room is designed for the comfort of adults and children, bedtime stories or late night television and includes a cleverly appointed niche with wrapped bookcases, fitted with pull-out trays for warm cocoa or a glass of wine. The sofa is covered in a multi-color, cotton weave with plush mohair pillows. The ottoman is constructed of dark bamboo legs with a paisley velvet surface.

A painted writing table is tucked into a corner beneath the window accompanied by a leather chair with a surprisingly feminine shape and vintage appeal. The window drapery is golden linen embroidered in a creamy leaf pattern. Floor pillows invite everyone to join in and spend time together. A double-sided fireplace is enhanced with a muted, earthy tile reminiscent of the historic Pewabic tiles. A flat screen television replaces artwork above the fireplace. The two rooms together offer a peaceful place to rest and revive.
