Debra Lynn Henno Design

Last week we saw the fabulous turquoise and lilac girl's room in this year's Pasadena Showcase House of Design, and today we're visiting the boy's room by Santa Barbara-based interior designer Debra Lynn Henno with photography by Alexander Vertikoff.

How cute is the colorful boatwood siding the bed? It was all ... View Post
