Thank you, Doug from CA, for reminding from me that there are people out there that want to know what's going on at the Inn and are really interested in my BLOG. So that being said, I'm going to work very hard to get back on track and keep updating on a daily basis. No excuses... It has been a great season. We had numerous guests from all over the world. One week we had guests from the Netherlands, Germany, England, Canada, Austria, and Denmark. I think RJ and I were the only Americans in the house all week. We had such a good time! One family celebrated a birthday while they were here. That was the week that we had the Mumfords from England stay with us. When Ms. Mumford made her reservation, she said she wanted to stay in the town that bore her name. That is so cool. Very nice family. I took several picures of them and we are putting them on the web site on a guest page that my son is creating. Today the last 2 rooms of carpet went in by Imperial Carpets of Rochester. Our installer did a fantastic job. All the furniture is returned to it's rightful place and we are again moving onto the next project. The new windows were finished last week, along with the roof. It's hard to believe that this project began in June and just finished this month. Well, not really. Let's just say most of the work is done. We are into "tweeking." A little stain here, a little paint there. I figure by the time we finish, it'll be spring and then we will move our efforts outside. Tomorrow is another busy day. While RJ paints the trim for the outside windows in the basement, I'm going to paint the walls in the McGinnis Room. You would not believe the carpet in that room! Superb! Fabulous! Breath-taking! Can you guess that I love it? Wine in color " or should I say Chianti " with sculptured pattern right out of the 1930’s. Just the right carpet for that room. The wall below the chair rail will be painted a honey color to offset the linen walls and dark chocolate curtains. The corner gas fireplace is a definite asset surrounded by a matching wood mantel. The room has an antique 4-poster bed with a puff calico quilt and navy bed skirt.
The king suite on the first floor "the Barcklow " also had new carpet installed today. It’s celery green with a sculptured pattern that accents the white woodwork and sheer curtains. The bedspread in a textured green pattern, draped with a country quilt in green, white, and gold. Oodles of throw pillows grace the king size bed. Through the French doors is the sitting room to the suite. Full double hung windows fill 2 walls and overlook the mill pond and Spring Creek. The carpet wraps the one step and fills the room with the perfect color to accent a thin wood planked ceiling and wood framed windows. The stain is a dark library oak and quite stunning. A flowered love seat in purples, greens, and browns can open into a sleeper sofa if necessary. The room is large enough for a desk, an armoire, and a comfortable stuffed chair for watching TV or reading.
Tomorrow the Scottsville Rotary Club will meet at the Inn in the evening. The menu include Stuffed Manicotti (with four cheeses) and of course, the Inn’s famous baked breads. So as you can see, I have a lot on my plate tomorrow " no pun intended. So until tomorrow, Good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the bedbugs bite! Later… d
