It’s like stepping inside Barbie’s Dream House. From the "Tiffany" blue walls to the sunny yellow China from the 1940s, the candy-coated elegance is just what Tiffany Hanes saw in her mind’s eye when she was first hit with the idea to open a tea room. "It’s important that the ambiance is happy and peaceful and calming because that’s hard to find these days," said Hanes, a Gainesville resident.
