Happy New Year

It has been a quiet year on the social media front for the Inn, but we have been busy tearing out, fixing up, painting, and building.
Though we had originally hoped to spend a year in renovations, the conditions of the property and the house made two years a more realistic goal.  This year saw many changes all around.  We rebuilt the rotting section of the deck and reformatted the stairway to open up the area.  We updated much of the electric, changing both built in lights and fixtures.  The windows in the house were all replaced - all 35 of them!  Both the floor and the ceiling in the main room were replaced and we built A LOT of furniture.  A table for eight and two tables of four now grace our dining area and a seating area before the fireplace has been begun.
Many smaller projects were worked on and the bathrooms for the Dogwood and Poplar rooms are now nearly finished.  Outside, we continued to plant and add to the gardens (though one Innkeeper's decidedly brown thumb is not cooperating with our kitchen garden visions).  Look for details on some of these projects in the coming months as well as an opening date for this year.

Happy New Year from our family to yours and may 2016 bring blessings to all of us!
