5. The Cozy Lavender Kitchen

Inside, the kitchen is where the lavender theme really earns its keep. I built mine with pale wood counters, a little herb garden on the windowsill, and bunches of dried lavender hanging from the ceiling beams. There are jars of honey on the shelves, a basket of purple flowers on the table, and a small fireplace at one end for baking days. It is the kind of kitchen that makes you want to stay inside and cook all afternoon, even when the sun is shining outside.
