Wild Rose Hall Has New Owners

Wow! You just never know what kind of twist life can bring. Around 4 years ago, I had a vision for a house that was for sale 10 minutes from where I lived. I just felt it would be a fabulous B&B along with a place to hold events. I even had a name picked out, Wild Rose Inn. Unfortunately we could not afford the purchase and the house was sold. Much to my devastation, the sign went up shortly after for Wild Rose Hall. I rushed home to search the Internet and found it was a wedding venue. I must have cried for at least a year every time I passed. I could not understand how God had given me a vision but it was for someone else to live. Now I know it was just not the right time for us. Funny how hind sight is always 20/20! It has been 4 years and in that time I have started my own floral design company, Simply Abundant Blooms, and received lots of valuable hands on wedding & events experience. Now is finally the time and as of July 1st, Glenn and I are the proud owners of The Inn at Wild Rose Hall. We felt we had to give an homage to that vision I had so long ago. We are definitely excited to see what the future holds with our new baby! :)

Great Room Redesign In Progress

The view out the front doors shows the changes both inside and out. The huge zinc planters outside are potted with climbing trumpet vine and ornamental sweet potato vine. Stretch across the two planters is the top of the old iron arbor. Before, it was too low on the sides for people to walk under without hitting their heads. Now it has been re purposed into a more welcoming entrance so you don't have to worry about your guest bumping their head. :) Here are a couple of pictures of the new color palette for the great room that brings the outside in. The huge stone fireplace now pops against the light green wall color. A lot of the wood work has been brought back to a bark brown in order to tie in with the ceiling's massive beams.

I will post better pictures soon! :)
