<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>&#8216;Nick&#8217;s Cottage&#8217; is what I call it. I need to ask him what he calls it beyond home. The colors are pleasing and soothing. Little vignettes of solitude that are inviting, inspiring yet calming to the mind. It is surrounded by ibrant vegetation and dappled sunlight. Nearby a garden percolates with life, almost growing before your eyes. Happy I&#8217;d say.</strong></p>
