Upon entering through the heavy wooden door, you step into a large, brightly lit room. The walls are painted in a warm chocolate brown, broken up by sheer white curtains while the plain wood floor is accented with a stark white rug. A sweet fragrance reminiscent of autumn leaves lingers here as a surprising draft comes through the open window.

Off to the side sits a large mahogany desk lined with pictures. Behind her desk, the wall is obscured entirely by floor to ceiling bookshelves. Her Meritorious Service awards from St. Mungo's hang on the adjacent wall surrounded by family photos. Next to her desk stands Vincent's cage, though you'll seldom find him inside.

From her desk, Professor Lawson has the most amazing view of the grounds. This is where you will often find her pouring over lesson plans or grading assignments. The small fireplace on the opposite wall is surrounded by oversized, cream colored leather chairs with beautiful soft, tiffany blue pillows.

Everything about this tranquil space seems to draw you to it. Don't fight it. Come inside and relax for awhile. Just remember to knock first.
