The thing that struck me the most was how everything in the house was part of the overall atmosphere of calmness and serenity. While I was on a trip mostly for business and had little time at the house, I still enjoyed the soothing colors and Asian-influenced decor. The furniture is also simple, but elegant, as well as comfortable. Susan herself was a delightful hostess, whether we were talking about the weather or sharing our stories with each other. I would highly recommend Susan's home for anyone seeking a home to relax in.
