We have completed the first room in the big house, our sitting room / library. Though the room is not 100% complete, we are excited to announce that the first room is painted and usable. Somewhere between historic restoration and modern adaptation, we have updated the room which was a formal dining room to suit our needs for the space. We have used suitable vaastu colors to help increase the flow of positive energy in the Southeast where our well is dampening the fire element. We have designed the room to be used by guests to sit in and relax and study or to meet and converse with Swamiji. We have chosen colonial style furnishings for this room. A Queen Anne style desk and crewel work chair for Swamiji to sit at and study birth charts or meet with people. A William and Mary style table for guests to sit and study or enjoy a cup of tea. Camel back sofa and Sheraton style chairs for plenty of seating. Residents can sit and meet here and discuss upcoming projects or guests can be greeted here. It is a multipurpose room which suits our modern needs while accentuating the historic beauty of the house. We have exciting plans for finishing touches for this room, but with so many more rooms yet to be completed, this may have to wait some time.
