Dressed in romantic reds and whites with just a touch of pink, this sweetheart of a room has sweet dreams written all over it. Designed by Diane Breckenridge-Barrett with her granddaughter in mind, this guest suite in Diane’s home is girly and feminine without being too young. With a bit of French flair, Diane has expertly mixed toiles, buffalo plaids and classic ticking to create a whimsical and fanciful room — perfect to cozy up in on cold winter nights. A bouquet of red, pink and white tulips designed by floral artist Catherine Thoele, AIFD, CFD, of Carriage House Florals at Diane Breckenridge Interiors, is a sweet reminder that spring isn’t too far away.
