The loft is where my husband and I live when we are not in LA. Although it is still a work in progress, it has the most incredible views of the property. We now have a beautiful 5 burner gas stove-top (in a temporary table), a new oven and dishwasher. Although the cupboards aren’t finished, Dave is designing them now and will start production in 2022. It’s still a great working kitchen with lots of huge tables to work on. The great room is wide open, yet cozy, with a wood stove (and plenty of dry wood). While in Vermont, I paint in the loft and take advantage of the large tables. We recently put shades on the windows to give guests privacy if they want. We choose to let the light in, and watch the weather (something we miss in LA.) There is a large porch off of the great room, with a grill and small table. Enjoy dinner out on the porch, listening to the peepers (or watching fireflies).
We also added a new futon couch which opens into a queen bed. We have all the linens to accommodate 2 more guests, comfortably, in a beautiful setting. There is a small bathroom, with sink and toilet off the great room, near the futon.
The bedroom has a king size bed, which has views of the valley below, over the rows of poplars, stretching to the Green Mountains. David did all the woodwork, beautiful cherry floors and trim. He finished trimming in the bedroom porch last summer. It's a wonderful thing to have a screen door opening to a porch that overlooks Nature, in all directions. This is where you'll want to watch the sunset! The recently finished master bath has built in everything (David’s handiwork) including a Miele washer and dryer.
The little free standing building on the right side of the loft, had been my studio, but is now a cottage that we also rent out. The building directly across from the loft, in the courtyard, was David's woodshop and is now used as an office, and very loose gallery space (that's where I store many of my paintings). Let me know if you're ever interested in seeing more of my work (all units are full of it....) If I'm not around, I can arrange for someone to let you in.
