Photos of some changes

We've been busy in the inn! Take a look at our newly recovered leopard chaise. Our little mink covered pillow is perfect on it. I picked up the mink collar at an estate sale and repurposed it as a pillow. My husband, Vann hung the chandelier for me. I love it! It's a cozy nook to read or listen to music.

Check out our new bed. It's an antique screen used as a headboard. The bedspread is from Anthropologie (my favorite store - out of Abilene). I had such fun painting the border on the dust ruffle and pillow shams. The painting is in metallic gold! Our blue bottle tree is coming right along. We find the blue bottles in antique stores or exploring along the way. The story goes that in the south blue bottle trees were popular because evil spirits were drawn to the brightly colored glass and flew up in the bottle. When the sun came out, it baked the evil spirits and they couldn't find a way out. Imaginative. ha.
The painting on the outside of the inn has been postponed due to rain. We're promised they will start on Monday. Hooray! I can't wait to post pictures of that.

Come see the changes for yourself. We'd love to have you.
