It’s been a long time since I’ve written so I thought I would put a little something down. We’re poised to make a lot of changes here at the B&B- such as renovating the great room at the end of the house and converting it into a suite! There is a really nice stone fireplace in the room, but we need to upgrade the old gas logs to a new unit with a remote thermostat so that it can be the primary heat over the electric baseboards that are there- electric baseboards are fantastic at heating, but expensive if the room is to be occupied on a regular basis. We are also replacing the windows in this room and others- they are the old type with storm windows and although I like the design of them, they are old and not energy efficient…plus they are a bear to clean! We will also be replacing a lot of the wall paper that is currently in the house. Carpeting on the first floor is also in order as we have had so many guests over the past four years that the current stuff has taken a beating. We have a design selected that is made for heavy traffic and the color will be perfect with the paint we are putting down. Another change we need to make is to replace the bay window in the living room- it’s single pane so it isn’t efficient. I’ve tried to figure out a way of keeping what is there and upgrading it to double pane glass, but it wouldn’t work.

Many other changes are also in store, I’ll post pics as we progress; we also have a special project that I hope to get to this year- I’ll post more when I know more!
