Where the Big Kids Gather

This room is wrapped from floor to ceiling in pine that is finished with a coat of linseed oil. The comfortable, overstuffed furniture tempts you to sit and stay awhile. A rich, aged leather sofa complements a large tufted wing chair. The cocktail table, which is designed to look like a piece of luggage, is the perfect spot to prop up your feet or to play a board game.

The knotty pine walls add rustic flair to this gathering spot. The piano was left to the homeowner by her grandmother, and built-ins were designed so it fits snugly in a niche. The rolltop desk, paired with an antique lawyer's bookcase, is also a prized purchase that enables the couple to keep up with paperwork.
