Glorious Morning Suite at The Brenham House

Oh, what a Glorious Morning!
This is one of our five rooms.  
It is a large two room suite with a private bath.  
The floors are all heart of pine.  The china cabinet was built in the fireplace once gas was installed in the home.  Back then it was cleaner to have gas heat and not have fireplaces and they wanted to get rid of their fireplaces.  The relaxing library has books for you to read, with desk, antique chair and very comfortable couch.

   

Step through the double doors to your bedroom.

Queen bed, rocker, TV and DVD.

The Gift of Flowers

I just wanted to share, with all of my guests,

 the beautiful flowers that came from a dear friend's garden.

Mary V. is a great gardener, cook, friend that will listen to you, and

 one who will always be there if you need her.

These flowers came from her garden in Beaumont, Texas.

 I placed them on the side board in my dining room to share with all of you!

Sending you hugs Mary V.
