Dream Home 2005 Guest Suite Tour

Dream Home 2005 is begging for guests, and they'll feel right at home in the guest suite, a comfy hideaway with convenient access to the swimming pool and entertainment room. The suite is divided into sleeping and sitting areas to give visitors the chance to stretch out and relax, awash in the casual elegance of the green-and-cream color palette.

"We think of it as the rose room," says interior designer Linda Woodrum. "We built on that theme subtly. We used a great color green on the walls, on the ceiling. And we have art...with roses and we've brought roses in. It's a wonderful little flowered guest area."

Open to the entertainment room and nestled in one side of the walk-in level, the sleeping and sitting areas are defined by a limestone arch with a rustic cedar lintel beam. "The sleeping area can be separated with a drape," Woodrum continues. "That gives it a certain coziness...so whoever is using that special space really does feel like they have the best guest suite they could possibly have."

The creamy limestone and crisp white bedsheets contribute to a space that feels more like a cottage hideaway. The room has a great closet (it even has a housewarming gift for you) to provide your guests plenty of options, and the bathroom is an excellent place to dust off after a long trip. And it doesn't hurt to have a 27-inch plasma screen television to take in your favorite HGTV shows!
