<p>This picture (William Bouguereau’s <em>The Storybook)</em> hangs over the girls’ day/trundle bed which they share. My four-yr-old thinks it’s a painting of her. I’m not one to lie to my children but when a two-yr-old thinks it’s a painting of herself and it’s such a sweet impression, you just smile and say, "It sure does look like you" as you hang it on the wall. By the time the two-yr-old is four, it’s hard to retract. As you can see, the room has a modernized Pooh Bear amist touches of antiquity.</p>

<p>Their bed is a white-framed daybed with a bottom trundle which is pulled out at night and pushed back in the morning for more play room.

Cay, your whole house reflects you. Full of warmth, beauty and fun!
