LAVENDER LOVE

For those of you that have followed my blog for several years, you know that I love Christmastime, and that I can barely contain myself until after Thanksgiving to post the festive images that are a part of it all.  So until then, I will post on another of my very favorite colors, lavender.  I had a lavender bedroom as a child and teenager and have since used a touch of lavender in my home.  ENJOY!

Interior designer Elissa Cullman and architect Allan Greenberg designed this stunning home for a couple in Houston, Texas.  While many may think this is a renovation, it is a new structure in the River Oaks area with all of the charm of an older home.
