One of my favorite rooms in my home is the Conservatory. It's sort of a Garden Room and Music Room in one. It sits directly off our Living Room. You can see a bit of the green Living Room couch in this photo. The Conservatory is fairly large as it houses both a seating area and baby grand piano.

If you happen to pick up this months Veranda magazine (this cover is from last March). You will see a write about Tara Shaw's "New Classics". As you might recall, famous antique dealer and designer Tara Shaw, launched a line of reproduction pieces that are just stunning called her Maison line. I own several pieces myself including the Mora Clock, which is a copy of Tara's own clock. And this lovely little gilded iron table - it sits next to my sweet Swedish chairs in the conservatory.
