Chapter 578 - 295: Eagle’s Nest Mansion (With Many Pictures, Extravagance Unleashed)_2
At this moment, inside, a roaring fire was already burning, emitting a reassuring crackling sound.
On the ceiling, the hanging chandeliers are visually striking.
The most eye-catching is the gigantic chandelier composed of countless perfectly formed antlers of varying sizes, ingeniously combined with bronze and crystal.
It emitted a warm and wild glow, proclaiming the soul of this land.
In the transition area leading to the living room, there hung a more contemporary giant chandelier made of amber glass and metal, injecting a touch of artistic vitality into this majestic space.
The floor is covered with intricately patterned hand-woven Navajo-style wool rugs, soft as if walking on clouds, absorbing all footsteps.
On either side of the foyer, two classically designed brown leather club armchairs are placed, silently inviting visitors to shed their travel fatigue.
But what made their souls tremble was the end of the foyer.
There, instead of walls, was an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows connecting to the living room.
Passing through the foyer, the view of the living room opened up, presenting a kind of luxury different from the foyer’s grandeur, yet more refined and breathtaking.
This space was enveloped by gracefully arching wooden beams resembling whale ribs. The beams, with their natural textures, intersected at the top, full of architectural rhythm and power.
A few modern metal rods traversed between them, cleverly balancing the classical and modern.
Their gaze was immediately drawn to the main chandelier hanging down in the center of the ceiling.
It was a meticulously carved transparent glass chandelier, with edges shimmering faintly in gold like a swarm of fluttering butterflies, or like a cluster of brilliant crystal flowers blooming on the ceiling.
The light it emitted, refracted through each piece of glass, became incredibly soft and dreamy, infusing the entire majestic space with peerless artistic aura and fluid beauty.
At the far end of the space was an entire floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, perfectly presenting the evening scenery outside like a dynamic landscape painting.
Through the gigantic glass, the magnificent snow-covered mountains and vast forests blanketed in white snow broke into their field of view like a giant oil painting hanging between heaven and earth.
Two sets of huge beige velvet sofas comfortably surrounded a simple square marble coffee table. The soft carpet bore elegant patterns, defining this cozy reception area.
The sofa was adorned with several lake-blue velvet cushions, instantly lighting up the entire space, echoing the paintings on the wall, appearing both high-class and vibrant.
Both beside the fireplace and in front of the window, comfortable single armchairs and small side tables were meticulously arranged, ensuring in any corner, one could find the perfect spot to enjoy the view.
"My God..." Aliya was truly speechless this time, as she slowly walked into this space, "This... this is simply an art gallery... no, more beautiful than an art gallery..."
Emily was captivated by the harmonious color coordination and the cozy atmosphere.
She gently stroked the soft armrest of the sofa, feeling its delicate texture, and whispered to Lin Yu’an.
"I love it here. It’s magnificent, yet it feels... warm and comfortable. That blue cushion, and that painting, they bring the whole place alive."
Lin Yu’an smiled, gently embracing the two of them. He could feel their heartfelt joy and awe.
This was not just a mansion, but a promise land filled with love and warmth. Everything about it surpassed his greatest expectations of the word "home."
This scenery, this palace, would belong to him and his family!
He looked at the grand canyon outside, gradually sinking into dusk, feeling a sense of peace. He gently said, "Let’s go; this is just the beginning. Let’s continue our tour of our palace."
"Please follow me." Arthur smiled, like a well-trained royal butler, leading them to explore every astonishing corner of this "palace."
They first arrived at the open kitchen and dining area connected to the living room.
This area was cleverly divided into two parts; one for formal banquets and a more daily intimate family kitchen and dining area.
"This is our main dining room," Arthur introduced, "It can easily accommodate twenty guests dining at the same time."
The dining room continued the entire building’s majestic style, with thick wooden beams crossing the ceiling.
The dining table, made of dark walnut, had a surface smooth as a mirror, as if it could clearly reflect the structure of the ceiling.
Above the dining table, two circular fabric chandeliers, like war drums, hung down, their light warm and soft, adding warmth to this solemn space.
The design of the dining chairs was particularly unique, with light gray fabric seats, but the backrests had a modern hollow design, forming an interesting dialogue with the rustic wooden and stone environment.
What caught Aliya’s eye was the centerpiece on the dining table—a pair of large decorative tusks, pristine white like ivory, mounted on heavy wooden bases.
These primitive, wild elements, combined with the exquisite tableware and elegant environment, created an enchanting beauty.
