MERRY SELECTS UNIQUE MOUNTAIN-STYLE FURNITURE WITH DISTINCTION

To reflect your good taste. Here is one example of a special Mansion Bed with illuminated mantel. This work of art is made of birch solids, birch and cherry veneers, burl and walnut inlays. The lights in the underside of the mantel not only offer function lighting for bedtime reading, they also add rich mood lighting to your bedroom suite. We can have your wall switch activate these lights in your Rand Soellner Architect mountain home.

Here is an Arched-back Lodge bed of Merry's choosing that possesses a mountain flair with class. The wormy cherry finish has a rich luster that evokes feelings of warm quilts on a Winter's night and firelight flickering off the wood ceiling in a Rand Soellner Architect lodge-style home.

This is one of Merry's favorites: a Canopy-Frame Arched-Back Mansion Bed with cerejeira veneers, all hardwood solids, rosette accents, crown molding and round tapered posts.

MERRY SOELLNER SELECTING GRANITE SLABS

In granite capital of the world. Here, Merry examines the fine differences between a Paradiso Classico slab vrs. a Creama Bordeaux slab for discriminating clients.
