[The Grand Larsony, Salon]


[The Grand Larsony, Salon]
A huge contemporary fireplace dominates the room, its mantle decorated with coral formations and peach candlesticks. Sturdy pieces of contemporary furniture have been placed informally around the room, their simple lines and light tones set off nicely by the plush ivory carpet which covers the floor. A black baby grand piano sits nestled in the corner and an ornate tea cart sits in the opposite corner. Subdued lighting glows from corner fixtures, and reflects back from an assortment of beveled mirrors which hang as artwork from the far wall. The warm fragrance of peach pie cooking in the galley floats through the room, lending a timeless homey feeling to the space. You also see an oak portal inset with rich stained glass in an ornate pattern and a contemporary spiral staircase.
