Notice the deep arched entry ways and beamed ceilings. I love the x detailing on the doors and the soft graceful turn of the staircase. Notice that the room is painted white, but because there is so much architectural interest, the room is warm and inviting. Looking through the doorway on the right you can see the library.</span><br /><br /></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-osPDKcc6-bQ/Tir-r0RBOGI/AAAAAAAAG_I/-jJpkDh68Q4/s1600-h/woods%252520hole%252520Hart%252520architects%2525206%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-osPDKcc6-bQ/Tir-r0RBOGI/AAAAAAAAG_M/nZat62mC49M/s1600-h/woods%252520hole%252520Hart%252520architects%2525206%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img alt="woods hole Hart architects 6" border="0" height="439" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-im1TnkINsZk/Tir-sT6bBNI/AAAAAAAAG_Q/-7l7kPYjvm8/woods%252520hole%252520Hart%252520architects%2525206_thumb%25255B12%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="woods hole Hart architects 6" width="610" /></a></span></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">I adore the warmth of an all wood room.
