The Interior of Hemlock House
With the snow keeping its distance, and the drab colors of deep winter covering the landscape, it seemed a good time to turn inward, and share the warmth and comfort of my home, Hemlock House. I named it that because of the many Hemlock trees that surround the house and fill the adjacent woods.
My favorite room looks out to the northern mountains, and makes the perfect reading and conversation spot. I call it The Observation Lounge, for obvious reasons.
The stairs down to the lower floor are located in one corner of the Observation Lounge. I have long admired Asian art, and find that it fits in perfectly with my mountain setting.

The Music Room also has French Doors to the outside…
The Great Room is the largest room in the house, and offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view out of two large double windows.
Back upstairs, the bedroom hallway features a wall of my ancestors and family.
The Master features many original art pieces.
The eat-in kitchen is spacious and well lighted, with a tongue and grove white pine ceiling.
But the best room in the house has to be the deck, where the view is always breathtaking!

You have made a wonderful home for yourself. It is both beautiful and inviting. You done good!
You DO have a delightful home. Love how you’ve mixed all the different decors together, a artistic touch for sure! Windows to the beautiful outdoors, perfect!! Lucky you to have such a wonderful home!
What a wonderful blend of the things you love! (I even see some Dolphins memorabilia tucked in there.) And the whole magnificent outdoors, which bridges across with fresh branches of evergreen tucked in here and there. It’s so beautiful, Vann.
I am so there.
You did a great job decorating. I can feel the serenity. God Bless you and your lovely home. Much love, Linda
