I used to love to sit with my children and listen to them practice scales and new songs. But alas, homework, sports and friends have distracted them and sadly I am giving up every Mother’s fight “You need to practice your piano!” – They have moved on to other things and finally so must I.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-K6yTOjCAaFk/TqSi9qm0ejI/AAAAAAAAHH0/qU0GNZazC5A/s1600-h/Conservatory-3_thumb1%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="Conservatory-3_thumb1" border="0" height="337" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-mc9w2rP_B1o/TqSi-Gt0oiI/AAAAAAAAHH8/nK_BkLyhrTU/Conservatory-3_thumb1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="Conservatory-3_thumb1" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">So what to do with this room? My husband has always wished for a library. A wonderful wood paneled space to work, read and relax. So we have decided to say goodbye to the piano and hello to a new library. </span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-g_db4BVqNAY/TqSi-jkf7qI/AAAAAAAAHIE/RVNbMulLzS0/s1600-h/C-Brinkley-Tower-hill-Great-Room-3_t%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="C-Brinkley-Tower-hill-Great-Room-3_t" border="0" height="346" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Co0KN1eadfo/TqSi-zeSfxI/AAAAAAAAHIM/ZNtp3zVsjJI/C-Brinkley-Tower-hill-Great-Room-3_t_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="C-Brinkley-Tower-hill-Great-Room-3_t" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Here are some of my inspiration photos. This is Christie Brinkley’s Great Room of her Tower Hill home. Not quite a library but I have always loved the light wood and the detailing on her crown molding. The room is beautiful, and with windows on two sides the light is similar to my Conservatory.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NiLD3jHI2_w/TqSi-1YbjDI/AAAAAAAAHIU/z6yt3Go8pkk/s1600-h/Library20to20Sunroom_thumb6%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Library20to20Sunroom_thumb6" border="0" height="604" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-XqwZk-PelGQ/TqSi_bHEMRI/AAAAAAAAHIc/wa73a1A6tX0/Library20to20Sunroom_thumb6_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="Library20to20Sunroom_thumb6" width="404" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">This has been in my files for a long time. I found this wonderful room on MLS. I adore the wood ceiling, leaded glass bookcases and glass arched door.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-6IggasyQ_Vg/TqSi_iYVBhI/AAAAAAAAHIk/C2dzsxdL7A4/s1600-h/library-Ms-howard.jpg-2_thumb1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="library-Ms-howard.jpg-2_thumb1" border="0" height="632" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-oB_dyCLf2WQ/TqSi_yCGWGI/AAAAAAAAHIs/0CmF7nAEkNk/library-Ms-howard.jpg-2_thumb1_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="library-Ms-howard.jpg-2_thumb1" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">This room, from Mrs. Howard, really shows the type of wood I want. I love the paneling, although this room has much higher ceilings and is much more grand than my smaller space.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sbECyJBNMKI/TqSjAY8CDzI/AAAAAAAAHI0/h5Q6BLDLhdw/s1600-h/library-Ms-howard_thumb1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="library-Ms-howard_thumb1" border="0" height="344" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-sCYjR2KYTSQ/TqSjAmvoCyI/AAAAAAAAHI8/wcto4CeoWOA/library-Ms-howard_thumb1_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="library-Ms-howard_thumb1" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">These light tones are perfect, but I do not like so many knots in the wood. This room also from Mrs. Howard.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-RrbLfjKpkmQ/TqSjBaT7SvI/AAAAAAAAHJE/J91aLfHi8bA/s1600-h/David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb22%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb22" border="0" height="512" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Z5INTpL2ZpM/TqSjCQrstwI/AAAAAAAAHJM/lUOWP8vS9No/David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb22_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb22" width="498" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">I am sure you remember my adoration of David Easton’s library in Aspen. This light wood is limed and then washed with grey antiquing glaze. This is interesting as my painted doors will need to be stripped and a glaze may make the new wood and the old wood much easier to match.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-mZ-Z1i_TVdo/TqSjC3nTMJI/AAAAAAAAHJU/jJeJce3j9Nw/s1600-h/Conservatory-1_thumb20%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="Conservatory-1_thumb20" border="0" height="333" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-alXe0sdQLDU/TqSjDXZI4II/AAAAAAAAHJc/HeKZ7dhXvp0/Conservatory-1_thumb20_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="Conservatory-1_thumb20" width="522" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">If you look closely you will notice I only have one wall for bookcases to the right. It is also very narrow from wall to door molding. The Conservatory is very open to the Living Room right now, so I will need to add some doors. I want to keep the light coming in and do not want to lose too much space with swinging doors. I love pocket doors but I am afraid it will close off the room too much. However, it would give me another area for more bookcases. Hmm – lots of choices to make.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-PGm9a5XK_gc/TqSjD9T45SI/AAAAAAAAHJk/3Ppl-ZjDUyo/s1600-h/Doors-for-Living-room_thumb8%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Doors-for-Living-room_thumb8" border="0" height="456" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GVPI-mWOGcc/TqSjEIzfA6I/AAAAAAAAHJs/jF4gn3NvTO8/Doors-for-Living-room_thumb8_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="Doors-for-Living-room_thumb8" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">These glass does are similar to what I want. They slide over themselves so I won’t lose any space, but I prefer them to have glass to the floor.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-uAqrWTVYkug/TqSjEQn_zEI/AAAAAAAAHJ0/BoKvSH4VJsE/s1600-h/2517ODonnell118_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2517ODonnell118_thumb" border="0" height="337" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rcMo-3UKaGQ/TqSjEjRiPmI/AAAAAAAAHJ8/nYOfSidOoQo/2517ODonnell118_thumb_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="2517ODonnell118_thumb" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">I like the arch over the bar in this library. It mimics the arches of my French doors. I wonder if my wall with the intaglios should have an bookcase with and arch.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-9y5KLfN-3Jk/TqSjE9nSUMI/AAAAAAAAHKE/JQ_4iikhp-Q/s1600-h/library_thumb8%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="library_thumb8" border="0" height="336" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-DDbbn4isZvc/TqSjGjHRWxI/AAAAAAAAHKM/93a3sK8Gguw/library_thumb8_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="library_thumb8" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Here is a wonderful arched window in a library just being built down the street from me. The bookcase is straight, even though the main window has an arch.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wMGoNGXexPs/TqSjG0IDElI/AAAAAAAAHKU/trtv6LBwSlc/s1600-h/libraryback-wall_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="libraryback-wall_thumb" border="0" height="339" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Gggi3jHWrPc/TqSjHD-yaII/AAAAAAAAHKc/j1C_bCFFzHE/libraryback-wall_thumb_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="libraryback-wall_thumb" width="504" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">I love the niche in this library for the couch. If I create a niche I think I would place Dave’s desk in front of it but should the niche be arched? I think this niche would have looked great with an arch.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SIjPIeXsUXA/TqSjHRWownI/AAAAAAAAHKk/IENQ1aEmsNo/s1600-h/library-Farifax-and-Sammons_thumb2%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="library-Farifax-and-Sammons_thumb2" border="0" height="585" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-G0eFALNHGak/TqSjHyIapUI/AAAAAAAAHKs/bjnrrhQAmCM/library-Farifax-and-Sammons_thumb2_thumb.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="library-Farifax-and-Sammons_thumb2" width="454" /></a></p><p align="center" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:130%;">This Library from Fairfax and Sammons is a bit closer to what I was thinking, but the arch is much too deep for my space. It would definitely need to be scaled back.</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">I am hoping to have the sketches done by the end of November, but as you can see we are still in the design phase, so let me know your thoughts! Light wood or darker wood? Stained or Glazed? Glass sliding doors or closing in the room a bit with pocket doors? Arched bookcase or straight? This is turning into such a fun project! Excited to hear your thoughts!</span></p>

Built by a Connecticut couple, it was not your typical heavy, dark wood and stone fireplace mountain retreat.<em> </em>Designed and decorated by the famous David Easton, I immediately tore out the pages to keep in my inspiration file. Fast forward to September and again I spy the same beautiful retreat. I am even more smitten with new images in Veranda Magazine. Of course this house is worthy of 10 magazine shoots so I wanted to share it with you in case you missed it.</span></p><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xmF5F6ydf44/TprK_UpP_-I/AAAAAAAAHDc/PUb5NeMA6RM/s1600-h/David-easton-Veranda-1_thumb2%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="David-easton-Veranda-1_thumb2" border="0" height="671" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nRrRyQgxOvM/TprLAbxmzDI/AAAAAAAAHDk/3CA4tQq4dBI/David-easton-Veranda-1_thumb2_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="David-easton-Veranda-1_thumb2" width="504" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">The entry is stunning! All the wood in the home was limed, brushed to bring up the grain, and then washed in a pale gray and antique glaze. The effect is a lighter Scandinavian feeling – and it is a stunning change from the usual mountain décor.</span></p><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-DbTN739o3do/TprLBHNHoWI/AAAAAAAAHDs/7d8fCQDwSZ0/s1600-h/David-Easton-Veranda-3_thumb9%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="David-Easton-Veranda-3_thumb9" border="0" height="479" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4_gjA1D3cQI/TprLB4lGVGI/AAAAAAAAHD0/JkQtvqOcsp0/David-Easton-Veranda-3_thumb9_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="David-Easton-Veranda-3_thumb9" width="504" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">The dining area is beautiful. Notice the gorgeous hand painted wallpaper; it was carefully recreated from a palace in Stockholm. The crystal chandelier adds just the perfect amount of elegance and sparkle and the limestone fireplace completes the room.</span></p><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-R9p9l2TgxDM/TprLCpvEi3I/AAAAAAAAHD8/XLwhh66TVFw/s1600-h/David-easton-Veranda-4_thumb1%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="David-easton-Veranda-4_thumb1" border="0" height="427" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-QCSzu77ow0E/TprLDP0dXjI/AAAAAAAAHEE/D3uVys_xvsc/David-easton-Veranda-4_thumb1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="David-easton-Veranda-4_thumb1" width="504" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">The Great room is a stunning mix of soft blues, creams and taupes. The view is as spectacular as the room décor. David Easton reminds us how to design a room where the decor compliments rather than competes with the view. Very few designers could orchestrate this as masterfully as Easton. This room is breathtaking.</span></p><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-T9VyAwERCP8/TprLDlduv9I/AAAAAAAAHEM/HrLEZ2-VTig/s1600-h/David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb4%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb4" border="0" height="518" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-QpyG5RZSOQM/TprLEerWs1I/AAAAAAAAHEU/0ZkikoD3mjs/David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb4_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="David-Easton-Veranda-2_thumb4" width="504" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">In the library we see a better close up of the wood tones.This particular room has been an inspiration for me in my home. I am in the process of creating a room with a very similar feeling in the near future so stay tuned.</span></p><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LZWNFQ2qdGQ/TprLFBZDVJI/AAAAAAAAHEc/s2w4madoB-U/s1600-h/David-Easton-Veranda-6_thumb1%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="David-Easton-Veranda-6_thumb1" border="0" height="663" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VbHBe5h34sc/TprLF-LRUEI/AAAAAAAAHEk/gIiR2YBBUqs/David-Easton-Veranda-6_thumb1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" title="David-Easton-Veranda-6_thumb1" width="504" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">The master bedroom is another spectacular space. The iron bed, Chelsea textile linens, antique rug and limestone fireplace just make me swoon. What do you think readers – would you love to ski all day on the mountains of Aspen and then return to this gorgeous home. I am not sure I would ever even get to slopes!</span></p><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-t7Tpl7rs7Z8/TprLGLpW8uI/AAAAAAAAHEs/dVfgSUXw3zQ/s1600-h/David-Easton-book_thumb1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="David-Easton-book_thumb1" border="0" height="387" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-oB8YN8IJLso/TprLGaKV6FI/AAAAAAAAHE0/J9clBPgpIjs/David-Easton-book_thumb1_thumb.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="David-Easton-book_thumb1" width="304" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span">I own and love Easton’s book </span><strong style="FONT-SIZE: large">Timeless Elegance</strong><span class="Apple-style-span">.
