Orange County Choppers + 2 Valium = Disney

I have never had control of the remote; I have a husband and a daughter. So, I have the opportunity to watch shows I might never watch otherwise. Never.
A few months ago I saw Orange County Choppers for the first time. It was one of those Discovery Channel marathons of every episode ever filmed broadcast back to back, hour after hour. I have to admit, I didn't hate it. I like design and they design some cool bikes. I could live without the family drama, but watching cute guys in mussel shirts build custom stuff is easy on the eyes. I even watched it voluntarily just last week.
But,this afternoon I was blessed with watching Disney's Aladdin for about the 100th time. You can guess who maintained control of the remote today. Kind of a funny movie the first dozen times you watch it. After that you have to come up with your own ways of finding humor in the film, like counting how many times the genie says, " Wwwweeeellll..."  or throwing popcorn at each other every time Aladdin shouts, "Abu!". Today was special. Today, I had an epiphany.
If Paul Senior took 2 Valium and was animated (and gained 50 lbs) you would get the Sultan from Aladdin. Think about it. Biker + Valium = Disney Character, anything is possible.

New Entry at the Inn

Image
We are feeling very pleased with our new (and long overdue) entry. We are honored to know a local master craftsman that resurfaced the concrete steps, repaired the decorative woodwork, repaired the roof, and forged two wrought iron railings. It's very rewarding to repair/replace things on this beautiful building and make them look like they once did with quality design, materials and craftsmanship. It's always a challenge to decide (and budget) what is worth keeping or replicating and what isn't. We usually decide to keep or replicate. We want everything to look as original as possible. We had to have two columns replaced/replicated. We think they look spot on. Maybe we are the only ones that know which are new...and we think the wrought iron railings are much like what would have been in place originally. We should post "before" photos, but it was ugly. We always focus on the positive and progress, so we are only posting the demo, in progress, and the beautiful...

One of Our Winter Projects

Image
Room 9 was just refreshed and redecorated: new beautiful king size brass bed, new cute farmhouse distressed night stands, new table and ladder back chairs (with funky blue and white modern fabric seats), fresh paint all around, new cushy carpet, gorgeous East Lake marble top dresser, and even new room darkening drapes. I do love to refresh guest rooms. To see the finished room and to have guests love it as much as I do is a wonderful feeling. We always have a list of winter (slow season) projects, but this was my favorite this year. It's a hit with guests too :)
