It's midnight and we're calling it a day. We had a very productive evening, but still have lots of last minute details to take care of. Thankfully, our guests aren't arriving until midnight tomorrow!
It is amazing how much it takes to turn a bare room into a B&B room. We have run into a few glitches:
1. The table set we ordered arrived with no hardware to assemble it. Frantic call to Customer Service! (They can't guarantee anything until next week.)
2. We realized that our shower curtain ensemble requires TWO shower rods . . . not a problem if you live near civilization, but here . . . do you think they'll notice if the second curtain is hanging on clothesline?
3. I discovered that NO amount of ironing can remove the creases from curtains that have been packed in those cute little plastic bags. So . . . the curtains are in the washing machine.
Two bright spots from today:
1. The bedding is wonderful! Wayne and I had quite a time wrestling to get the dust ruffle just right under the queen-sized mattress. (Would have been a great picture for the blog, except that there was no one to take it.) The bed features a very plush mattress cover that has padding designed specifically for your various body parts, 400 count sheets, and a luxurious comforter. I searched long and hard for it and finally found what we liked at Cabela's of all places! I'll post pictures soon.
2. I visited a dear lady in town today. She gave me a tour of her garden and wrote down the names of plants that do well in this area. She is preparing to move and mentioned that she was selling her five Adirondack chairs . . . for $25 each! I immediately said, "I'll take them all!" They are older ones so they're very sturdy. Just need a fresh coat of paint. So now we have some furniture for our three porches.
Piece by piece, it's coming together. Yawn!
