The Old Brick gets new grout & sealant!

Another thing we are soooo excited about is the good work our masons are doing to our exterior! Steve Johnson Masonry is doing a wonderful job of removing and replacing old grout, resealing the brick and making our building even more beautiful! It's stood here for 200 years almost and we hope for another 200!! The meeting with OSHA and Choptank Electric went pretty well. We have the power lines on Mulberry Street to worry about- it's difficult for the men to get up between the power lines and the building, but we have approval!!

Chesapeake Suite gets a new coat!

I am soooo excited about our Chesapeake Suite being repainted!! Fresh paint just does something to a room that can't be described!!

Good grief! Didn't you see that wall there?

So, I wake up the other morning and look out my back window and see this!! Apparently, someone thought they could fit through the alley and didn't quite make it. Thank goodness for insurance! The SMPD has declared it a hit and run. If you see a vehicle around town that may be responsible for this...please do not hesitate to call!

Scarlett's bathroom remodel is in the works!

As I type this, the good plumber John Bradley, owner of ServicePro, LLC, and his helper, are running new water lines for our double shower in Scarlett! The room is going to be beautiful and the bathroom too! I can not wait to post pictures of the final product!

Fat flakes of Snow!

This morning, when I arrived for work, I mentioned to Donna (our amazing Director of Housekeeping, deer dodger & chef) that it "felt like snow" outside. It was that certain chill/feeling in the air that, well, felt like snow! Sure enough, a few hours later the fat flakes started falling from the sky. Isn't it crazy how our bodies remember a feeling in the air that means snow?

We are making changes!

Check back often for pictures and status updates on our new suites! We are working to make our Scarlett room a romantic king suite and we are turning our two Kemp House third floor rooms into one junior suite for our guests to enjoy!

Ah, the winter has finally come!

Waking up this morning to a tiny dusting was just what we needed after these last two days of bitter cold! The weather is much better today. We can start to take down the Christmas decor and stand to walk down the street to the Kemp House to start it's deep cleaning for the upcoming season. The Kemp House, being 205 years old, is EXTREMELY expensive to heat. So, we close it up for January and February, with the exception of the Bird of Paradise Cottage, so that we can save some money in this slow and cold time of year. Should anyone like to take a tour, let me know first so that I can turn the heat on!!! Happy New Year!
