Aug 2020 - River Room
In late July, Diane Williams (Karen's sister) journeyed from her Texas home to visit ... and create a mural for the River Room. See for yourself how great she did!!!
![Mural on the River Room wall, depicting the Verde River.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7fd4b2_d677f245b7a54fd49d771fd820df3104~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_906,h_750,al_c,q_85,enc_auto/7fd4b2_d677f245b7a54fd49d771fd820df3104~mv2.jpg)
This view is from the doorway, as you enter the room. The river seems to flow from the wall across the floor to the shower.

This is a close-up view of the bath tub - which appears to be floating in the river - and of the shower.

Visible through the window are the Black Hills.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7fd4b2_9105b7b35c6d43999d43bbcf4cf1fc6c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_860,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/7fd4b2_9105b7b35c6d43999d43bbcf4cf1fc6c~mv2.jpg)
Here are the sink basins. Notice how the fixtures reflect woodsy nature.

Bed frame (no mattress yet!), exhibiting rustic nature. All guest beds will be King sized.
![An artistic bed frame,. made of metal, appears to have vines growing on it. Also visible are two light sconces with vines haning down, as well as two round night stands.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7fd4b2_1736be3b49e64ec781c6929bb10574b4~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_720,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/7fd4b2_1736be3b49e64ec781c6929bb10574b4~mv2.jpg)
The fireplace was surfaced with small river stones and a simple mantel of mesquite wood. Flagstone forms its hearth.

This will be your view as you sit on the love seat, looking at the fire! From this photo, you can make out the top of the boat table (with two oars), which will 'float' in the river.
