What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Historic. Elegant. Tailored Family Vacations.
At the turn of the last century, America's prominent families created great retreats in Newport, Bar Harbor, and the Berkshires. These mansions and estates were designed so that families could leave the chaos of the city and come together in gorgeous settings. The Carnegies, the Vanderbilts, the Morgans, the Winthrops and others came to the Berkshires and created a flourishing community. In the mid-1980s, eight of the most prominent and beautiful estates were designated by Lenox as its "Great Estates". One of them, Lindsley Estate, has been restored to its original use as a single family home and is now available as your private retreat on more than forty acres with its own bridle trails and towering old Beech trees. Modern conveniences include wifi, air conditioning, outdoor BBQ and fire pit. Lindsley provides a unique and remarkable setting for you and your fortunate guests. Our relationships with nearby properties and cultural institutions ensure you and your family a rich culinary, cultural, and sporting experience.
The mansion rests on a hill overlooking a great lawn and Yokun Ridge. This Berkshire "cottage" contains seven tastefully renovated bedrooms, each with their own unique story, as well as three smaller bedrooms perfect for children, and great spaces for family to gather: a conservatory with gorgeous views for meals, a music room, a classic library and game room. Guests may enjoy Lindsley together for a one-of-a-kind, tailored experience with one family's private use of the property, pre-trip and daily concierge service, personal chef upon request and scheduled activities both on and nearby the estate. A stay at Lindsley is a unique and magical experience for your family.
Great spaces where families gather:
From the spacious foyer to the music room, library, dining room and conservatory, Lindsley's first floor is an elegant example of Gilded Age style. Original mantles, rare wood paneling, gorgeous rugs, statues and exquisite furniture can be found in every room.
The Foyer: Plenty of natural light, crown molding, refurbished oak floors, historic artwork and incredible oriental rugs are just some of the foyer's features.
The Library: Dark wood paneled cabinetry and book-lined shelves envelop this room with a club-like atmosphere. Rich leather chairs and a Chesterfield sofa provide comfort for reading, knitting, or just a solitary moment to stare into the fire. A Sarouk carpet made for the American market, c. 1910, with jewel tone flowers and foliage add warmth and richness. An American hunt scene on a reverse painted frame hangs above the mantel, flanked by brass candle sticks and a bronze horse sculpture.
The Music Room: Generously proportioned with high ceilings and multiple windows for maximum benefit of natural light and ventilation, the living room is a wonderful room for entertaining. There is a magnificent large scale marble fireplace that influenced the palette of this grand room. Also, you see a Steinway grand piano, oil paintings, Chinese vase lamps, demilune wood tables, and silk rugs.
The Conservatory: Positioned on the west wing of the mansion, this gorgeous room is one of the brightest in the house with plenty of windows and a gorgeous view of Yokun Ridge. Beautifully restored to its original beauty, this space is perfect for your morning coffee and newspaper.
The Dining Room: A thirty-six light golden chandelier is central to the dining room. The English Oak wood paneling on the walls has the original paint of ochre, orange and yellow hues that are reflected in the new silk drapes on the four large windows. The marble carved fireplace is original. The floors are wide plank hickory, covered by an oriental rug. The perfect place for a large formal family meal.
The Kitchen: Surrounded by original cabinetry and white subway tile, the main kitchen is large enough for a group of friends, or a few cooks, to enjoy together. It is equipped with a 10-burner, 2-oven Wolf stove, a double sink, two large windows, a hand washing sink, a small breakfast table and plenty of stainless steel counter space, as well as many fun cooking gadgets like a bread maker, ice cream maker, and waffle iron to name a few.
Multimedia Center: The media room has a full entertainment system including Wii, Dolby Digital surround sound, flat screen television, blu-ray player, satellite TV and even Karaoke.
