Boarding House

Overview
Bought for his bride, the Boarding House began life as the personal home of Pierre and Ambre Le Doux. Untilted as he may have been, the lord did well in business, and was able to afford his wife a City dwelling. After his death twenty years ago and no children, Lady Ambre turned her too quiet home into a place where those without a house of their own could stay, provided they had the ducats to do so.

The years have passed, and recently, Lady Ambre has decided to sell the boarding house to the Comtess de Vignoles who has promised to continue offering people a place to stay in the City. It is said that Lady Ambre is retiring to a cousin's house in the City where her growing absent-mindedness can be watched.

Description
Sitting on a corner lot, the manor sits off just far enough that a carriage can be pulled up before the door out of the main street. The multistoried stone house is half covered with wisteria and ivy at one end, it's portico offering shelter for those going between the door and carriage.

Circling around the back, there is a garden for the guests of the boarding house to enjoy with many places to sit and enjoy the outdoors either alone or with friends.

Places within the Building -

Salon
The salon is a study of rich emerald and sapphire shades. Couches and chairs of green upholstery with blue pillows form multiple sitting areas to allow for more private conversations or places of recreation such as a card game or dice. The wood floors are a lighter shade of oak and are covered with area rugs that hold the same color schemes. A sideboard gives easy beverage of alcohols that are not the best in quality for the general population, and focus more on juices as a first resort. A couple of bookshelves are filled with casual reading meant for entertainment more than education.

Dining Room
The dining room boasts a huge table meant for several diners to enjoy whatever meals are offered during the three scheduled main times. A sideboard holds drinks ready for the taking. As far as decor, the room is painted a soft cream color with large windows to look out on the street in front of the house. Paintings of various floral scenes decorate the walls.

Guest Suites
 Room 1 is accented in hunter green, while room 2 is accented in burgandy. 

This room is fairly modestly sized, but still comfortable and tasteful in its decor. The hardwood floors are covered with patterned rugs, and a pair of tall, arched windows facing out toward the street are framed with a set of sweeping burgundy drapes. Along one wall, a fireplace provides warmth in the colder months, and to either side of it, bookshelves provide plenty of reading material. Near the fireplace, a pair of comfortable chairs upholstered in ivory silk are arranged for sitting, along with a low tea table. Opposite the seating arrangement is a rather small bed with ivory-hued bedsheets and pillows, with a burgundy coverlet. A few lamps provide light around the room during the evening hours, and plenty of light spills in through the double windows during the day.
