L's Wing
Everyone was excited about seeing the wing. They followed the young woman to the entry for the wing. The door had been added into the great room between Dean's wing and the the kitchen entrance, and a carpeted hallway led to the wing.
She led them into the main room, which was a comfortable sitting room that had been modeled after an English drawing room. It was warm, cozy, and very inviting.
"This would make for a great room to entertain company," Watari said softly. A good room for his boys to gather without worrying about work.
Dean’s mouth dropped open. “Wow! Sarah? You found your niche, girl.”
“This is wonderful!” Lisa commented.
Sarah blushed a bit. "I'm glad you guys like it." She led them to another room. This one had been enlarged to form one big room. According to Watari's notes, this would be the workroom for all of them. The artist had painted it a warm color that would help soothe but not relax too much. The way the shelves were set up, it had the feel of one of the libraries that would be found in an old English manor house.
Everyone seemed to really like the room. Bobby loved the shelves, thinking of the library for his books. He had a major job there.
Ben commented about wanting to see the boys’ rooms. Lisa said, “What does their kitchen look like? I know the appliances aren’t delivered yet, but how is it decorated?”
Sam looked over at his brother, noting the shaking of his head and the big grin.
She led them into the kitchen which served as both a kitchen and breakfast nook. It was painted in a soft cheery yellow that wasn't overbearing but helped to make you smile when you walked in. Racks for tea cups and little nooks for various things showed in the room.
Lisa loved it. Dean thought it was a nice room, but he liked a more masculine kitchen, which he doubted he’d be getting. He grinned as he watched everyone, wondering about Watari’s thoughts.
Watari beamed. "I love it. Bright and cheery." He'd actually asked for this as normal English kitchens were a bit drab. Mornings were his favorite times, and a room like this would be wonderful to work in.
They soon left the kitchen and headed down the hall to Watari’s suite. L and the boys were upstairs.
Watari's bedroom was painted a warm shade of blue that was soothing but elegant. There was a small reading nook that she'd put special lamps up to help the older man as she knew vision could get worse with age. The room set up was definitely one for relaxation and comfort. The bathroom that was connected to it was done in a warm cream and gold. Sarah had paid attention to the flooring and safety details, working with contractors to ensure that the spry elder man would remain that - spry and not injured.
Dean's voice sounded low in awe, “This is perfect.”
L's keen eyes had noted the safety features and she smiled in response to the look of gratitude the man had flashed her, knowing he wouldn't point it out due to Watari's pride. "I'm glad you like it. Ryuuzaki's room is a bit different since you guys told me he has problems with insomnia."
Ryuuzaki's room was done up a bit differently. Since she knew the man didn't sleep much, she'd talked to Watari and had set up the room to feel more like a good place for meditation. Sarah had researched a few things and had painted the room a dark color that didn't make it gloomy. On the walls were scrolls she'd painted that contained sayings from well known meditation masters. In an alcove, she'd arranged a sleeping area that was separated from the room by sliding doors that were like the Japanese ones. She'd created small little niches in both areas for candles and incense. It would be a great place for the detective to relax, even if he couldn't sleep.
Dean’s eyes were wide. He mouthed ‘wow.’ but said nothing as he took in the room They had gone down the hall of the second floor and L’s room had taken the entire end. There were four other rooms on the floor. One was a movie - game room and the others belonged to the boys.
The game room was ultra modern, bean bag chairs for the boys as well as specialized chairs for surround sound. Matt and Mello both were excited about that, grinning as they talked about how to set things up while Sarah led them to Matt's room.
This room reflected more of Matt's tastes. It was more modern, done in a shade of turquoise tempered with black. It was definitely a room for a technophile like the red head was. Dark metal furniture with cushions that matched the room.
Dean was enjoying this immensely. He was anxious to see how each person reacted to their rooms. He knew Sarah had worked hard on them. There was not that much done in their wing. The kitchen should have a desert mural, the mountain storm in their bedroom, and Ben’s room. He found Matt’s room to be interesting but knew it matched the boy perfectly. The game and movie room was something they would enjoy.
Mello's room was a true blast from literature.During her talks with Watari, she'd found out what the blond haired boy's interests were and had decided to have a bit of fun. She opened the room to reveal a bedroom that looked like the study from 221B Baker street. It was classic Sherlock Holmes and given the cry of delight from Mello, she knew she'd done well.
What surprised both Lisa and Sarah was Dean’s reaction.There was a loud gasp and he was in the middle of the room with Mello. The girls and Ben had not been there when Dean confiscated Sherlock Holmes from the library. His love for Doyle was not known by all of them. He walked the room with Mello, commenting on what was there He clapped Mello on the back and grinned. Sarah had out done herself.
Watari and L chuckled, watching the two chatter over the items. It was Mello's study and room to make his own, adding his own mix of things but it would give the blond the feel that he was the great detective. It was very well done, and perfect for Mello.
As Dean walked out of the room, he passed Sarah. “You did good.”
She grinned, very pleased by his reaction to it. "Final room is Near's. Upstairs, we converted the attic into a dojo and exercise room for you guys."
