Miss Viv

  Currently there is only one member of the Merriweather Family staying at Lilac Hill.  Miss Vivian (Viv for short) has left behind her successful high fashion modeling career and returned to the homestead for good.  Viv plans to do most of the renovations herself although she is quite a novice.  She has already updated the parlor with new wallpaper, paint and an attractive area rug.
  Viv has decided to stay in the attic bedroom for now since the old bed up there is the only one she finds comfy.  She is rather tall which made her terribly self conscious as a young girl but later served her well as a model.  The bed in the Master bedroom is just a tiny bit too short for her and the furnishings aren't her taste.  The old attic room was her favorite place as a child when she visited Lilac Hill during summer and holiday vacations from boarding school in New York.  You may notice her dog, Tick, tucked in his bed in that room , as well.
