The structure also features a dining room that has been converted
into a work room (with the addition of a spinning wheel and a loom).

 

Since the aunts are always making things - dipping candles,
turning lye into skin-nourishing black soap, spinning wool,
knitting sweaters - Robin (Standefer) thought the dining room
should double as a craft room.

 

Inlaid in its wainscotting are etchings of birds and flowers
reminiscent of the painting on the living room walls.

 

For the window... Robin lined them with embroidered
sheer panels from Osborne & Little.
