The living room pays homage to Cody, Wyoming furniture makers Lester Santos and Jimmy and Lynda Covert. Lester’s Yellowstone Loveseat
and red Molesworth style sofa anchor the room, while Covert’, his and her water buffalo leather beaded chairs and the
simple coffee table with its red leather shelf make the room a warm gathering
place. The chandelier is from Fighting Bear Antiques. The ram’s horn lamp was created by Ken
Siggins of Triangle Z Ranch Furniture,
the floor lamp is a collaboration between Cloudbird of Dancing Light Lamps and Lester Santos. The copper edged side table was custom made
in
Memphis,
Tennessee by the National Ornamental Metal Museum especially to house the Northwest Indian
Thunderbird copper box lined in antelope. Over the fireplace made of hand
picked stone from
Harlowtown,
Montana
hangs a painting by W. A. Sawczuk of
Tower
Falls. The cabinets on either side of the fireplace
are custom made by Yellowstone
Traditions. The rug is historic
Navajo.
