Bree's Bedroom

When we first moved into our home in Colorado, Richard and I decided that the bedroom next to ours would be painted, decorated and furnished as a guest room. I chose a bed set for the queen guest bed first, then the paint and accessories. Richard then went to work on it. For more than two years, it was simply the lavender guest bedroom, seldom used. (Connected to the bedroom is a full private bathroom that Richard also completed--wainscoting, crown molding, pedestal sink, and all.)

I have always loved lavender. When Richard finished the rooms, I loved them, too. It was such a pretty change in my house.

Last year when we received the promptings that our baby was ready to come to our family, we didn't know where we would put him or her. Not wanting to give up the guest room, but needing a baby nursery, we compromised. Here is the result:


















As you can see, we kept the guest bed and made a nursery, too. It works out well. Little Bree can grow up in this room. Hope she grows up to love lavender like I do. We tell her it's her signature color. So pretty--just like her.

Love, Cara
