Paula peeks through an interior window from the Gilbert Lodge Great Room into the Library.  The red wall color is spectacular.

In front of her and to the right is keyboard-height cabinetry that will have a computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse.  The computer will be in the Tech Room about 50 feet away.

The Master Bath has sky-blue on the upper walls and ceiling.  Mark is holding one of the glass blocks that will be used for the shower walls. 

To Mark's right is a slot in the wall where a component radio will be housed.  Its front will be flush with the wall.

The Gilbert Lodge Reading Nook has a Frank Lloyd Wright touch with windows in the corner.  It overlooks the street side to the south and the lake to the west.  

This comfortable area has natural wood seats with slots at the top to let warm air escape thus keeping the windows frost free in the cold winter months.

The room floor is a step-up from the rest of the house and the ceiling is only 7 feet high.  This gives a cozy feel.
