intimate space

I absolutely love this! Its unexpected presence, its intimate size and the coziness of the partial front walls (formed by the bench sides), and its position a step above the rest of the area, all make it a special "place apart." The fact that there is a fireplace, and the artwork and sconces above, make it even more special.
