Master Bedroom

The Master Suite goes from the front of the home all the way to the back. Located across the east side, it is a beautiful place to watch the sunrise. And, from the deck, one can also watch the sun set. The moon can be seen at night, even in bed, through the top windows of the beautiful French doors. It is separated from the rest of this floor by the gallery, making it a private retreat. The suite is very spacious, taking up this entire end of the home.

You enter the bedroom via a beautiful stained glass door. This door was built to be a front door, complete with sidelights. However, again, the designer has come up with an original use for the door and sidelights. The door is, naturally, in the doorway. However, the sidelights, with matching stained glass, have been put in the walls of the hall leading to the bedroom. Lights have been put behind these. Soft lights will lead you to this haven of rest.

The east side of the bedroom has two large windows for a wonderful view of the land to the east. These windows border the area where the bed awaits a peaceful nights sleep. Above this area, in the ceiling, two can lights have been placed to give ample reading light.

The south wall has a pair of beautiful, antique-arched, French Doors with sidelights and a transom. These doors were rescued from New Orleans just before the devastating Hurricane. These doors lead out to a private balcony. Walking out onto the balcony, three stories high, you know this surreptitious bedroom is like living in the tree tops. So high you feel like you can see what the birds see. Peaceful, you are away from everything. The balcony overlooks the lake, rolling hills, and woods. This is truly Fung Shui. Water, wind, air, peace abounds. The rescued door is flanked by two large windows. Plenty of light is let into this room.

These unusual balcony doors are bi-fold with a beautiful arched transom at the top. What really makes these doors special is the fact that they were once home in a large southern plantation in New Orleans. They were purchased just before Hurricane Katrina swept through. The designer feels that, somehow, they were rescued from the catastrophe that happened to that grand city because they belonged here. They too would have been lost had they been in the storms way.

Dressing the windows are remote controlled real wood blinds. The French Doors are dressed with vertical blinds.

Behind this unusual door is a large walk-in gentlemen’s wardrobe. (Notice the pull chair instead of a door handle.)

It is spacious enough to hold shoes, boots, shirts, pants, everything a gentleman needs. Rods can hold ties and belts.

The bed rests on the east wall. There is plenty of room for a king size bed, end tables and still plenty of room on both sides. You can have as large a headboard as you like. The one in the picture was designed by the owner. It is made from two antique doors. As you lay in bed, you will look up and see the beautiful stained glass butterflies flying overhead. What a place to relax!

This space is large enough to hold a large screen television set and has a place built-in to hold your DVD player & satellite box. Underneath are drawers on both sides and in the center is a cooler to keep drinks within close reach. Relax, watch TV and enjoy a nice cold drink.

There is ample room in front of the entertainment center to place a couple of comfortable chairs with a chair table in between.

Reclining in bed, or sitting in your favorite chair, how fitting is that?

Lights surround a large mirror so makeup can be applied exactly as desired without straining to see. There are drawers in which to place needed items. Drawers to keep the things a lady loves to have close so she can use when needed. Her private place so she can enjoy her time at becoming even more beautiful without someone being in her way. Wonderful!

The north wall has a doorway that leads to the master bath. Left open at this point, a door could easily be added if one so desired.

Beside the doorway is a stunning see-through fireplace. The surround for the fireplace was custom designed and built. It is truly a one of a kind.

And, as with most of the ceilings in this home, this exquisite ceiling is an extraordinary work of art. Handsome beams cross the room. Wood flanks the outside edges of the beams. Two distinctive ceiling fans.

Two beautiful Oak leaf fans are suspended above the room. They offer bright light when needed and offer a gentle breeze upon request.

Beauty in and of itself. However, the area between the three beams is very unusual, very stunning. Mirrored stainless steel runs the entire length between the three beams This is designed to reflect the area below. Rope lighting runs around the area giving off soft mood lighting. But the amazing, and absolutely dramatic area is the center of this area.

In the center of the beams there are two stained glass windows exclusively designed and created for this area. They contain flowers and, naturally, butterflies. Soft lighting shows this fresco of glass off to perfection. Absolutely stunning, beautiful and delightful!
