New rack cards ordered

Wow.... In less than two weeks we've gone through 250 rack cards. The first time we ordered we had to use "stock" photos because our room bedding wasn't in.

This is the pic that will go on the new rack cards ordered yesterday:

We're ordering a large batch, but holding off on getting too many yet. In a month we can apply for inspection and certification from Bed & Breakfast Inns of Missouri (BBIM). We'd like to be able to put their logo on our rack cards. 

Doesn't this pic make you want to curl up, get cozy, and sip a beverage? 😃

Come spend some time in the Vidal Blanc Suite

A few finishing touches are needed, but the Vidal Blanc Suite is nearing completion.

 

 

The Vidal Blanc Suite features a beautifully carved, king-sized bed.  The room was painted in Jersey Cream, a Sherwin Williams paint, and the custom bed scarf was created by Jill Ryan at The Grateful Thread in New Town, St. Charles, Missouri.  The room includes a sitting room area, a writing desk and chair, a bureau with drawers, a closet, a single-serve coffee maker, a towel warmer, and a flat-screen Smart TV.  Next up are the finishing touches for the walls and the shades/blinds.

 

 

The sitting area in the suite includes a leather couch with a queen-sized sleeper, a full-sized mirror, table and lamps.

Custom mosaic medallion for our lounge

Today the final glaze went in our custom mosaic in our lounge, "The Stable."  Our tile guy, Ed Hausner, created this out of various pieces of tile. It's two feet by two feet, in the center of the room.  We love Ed's creativity, and liked how this turned out.
