Provencal pale yellow and green cement carocim tiles cover the walls, back splash and custom kitchen table, which seats 6-8 people. There is also counter seating for 3, where you can chat with the "cook of the house."
Our master suite is fit for a King with lush linens and draperies, enormous walnut and iron bed, seating areas, fainting couch, guest closet, T.V./VCR/DVD/CD player.

One room contains an oak sleigh bed with trundle that can be separate or combined at bed height to form a king bed, an oversized slip-covererd chair and has a large mirrored closet. There is a twin futon in the closet for a 10th person. It also has an adjacent black and white original Malibu tiled bathroom/shower.
