Thankfulness is overwhelming at times....

This past Wednesday, I spent much of the afternoon at The Inn. I went to do laundry and while there spent time just wandering around envisioning the future look. I decided before I left home to go ahead and take over some of the decor items I have purchased over the years. It was incredible to me as I laid linens on beds along with the paint swatches....I found myself completely overwhelmed with emotion. For years we have talked about owning a place like this never knowing how it would happen. At times I would even buy things for "our future B&B". I felt crazy doing it but somehow deep in my heart I knew it would happen even if my mind tried to persuade me otherwise. So as I used the gift of interior design to lay out these items, I was extremely blessed to see how it is all going to come together. I can't wait.... :)! Over the next several weeks, I will post about the updates as they progress.

Simple Stunning Weddings Book

One of the newest additions to my ever growing wedding book library is Simple Stunning Weddings by Karen Bussen. I just love the ideas in this book. I was drawn to the chapter entitled Country Inn. As I was reading through it, a couple of things really stood out to me.

"Hosting your wedding at a country inn is like celebrating at the home of a gracious friend who is know for her entertaining style. Let the beauty and warmth of this special place infuse your wedding day with classic charm and timeless hospitality."

It is like she read my vision for the future of The Inn at Wild Rose Hall. This statement projects exactly what we want our clients to feel when they enter. We want it to feel like your home away from home.

One suggestion she gives is a fabulous idea and one we can definitely accommodate.

"Spend your entire wedding week at the inn, relaxing, reading and preparing to great your guest"

If you are interested in possibly renting The Inn for the full week, please contact us. We would love to work out a package deal for you, your family and your guest.

Time to Play Catch Up....

The last few months have been crazy busy both at The Inn and at Simply Abundant Blooms. I have quite a few things I have been wanting to post but have been short on time. This last weekend was our last wedding for the year so hopefully I will have a little more time to devote to the blog. :)

For the next several months, we will start the process of updating the interior. First order of business is to apply a fresh coat of paint to most of the bedrooms, two of the bathrooms, the hall and the kitchen. With the overall wear and tear, it is definitely needed.
