Grand Opening has finally arrived!

 May/June Newsletter...

Well, here we are. We made it with little to no casualties! Entire BnB interior painted... check! Electrical completely upgraded...check! Guest rooms carefully curated, appointed and all around looking fantastic...check! Appliances all upgraded...check! Pop-up porch bakery stand in full swing...check! Secure fencing for the hounds to run around in and not escape...check! No resemblance of our sanity intact...CHECK!

We have had two very special visitors so far come and stay and try everything out as well as a few catering events and of course, the farmer's markets (2 per week now through October). I will say that it's been quite and enjoyable experience, even with all the "mystery" things happening. "Why is it raining in the basement?" "Why isn't the heat coming on?" "Why is there a lake all of the sudden, in the top field?" "Whose ducks are those?" Of course my all time favorite so far has been, "What's that smell?" Taking on this size of project from scratch is not for the faint of heart. We are lucky that the town is so welcoming and everyone we have come in contact with have been kind and all around lovely people. 

Shout out to our egg lady, Amy, for always making sure our guests have the absolute best farm eggs from her very happy chickens! We already have a few bookings so I'm sure they will be thrilled with the local produce and other deliciousness we have very close by.

Some things I have no plan on doing EVER again for the rest of my mortal life include, building ANY type of furniture that shows up from our very friendly UPS or Fed Ex delivery people. At this point it's like an electric shock zapping me when I see boxes from Wayfair, Pottery Barn, Lowes, Home Depot and any number of the canvas art vendors we now call family.

...and now, some BEFORE and 

AFTER

...yep, BEFORE...yes, the entire room was this color green...

...and, AFTER. It took 5 coats of primer and almost three coats of the less offensive new color, "soft fern".

Here's a good one! BEFORE...

...and most definitely, AFTER! Talk about a labor of love. ALL that wallpaper had to be removed and the walls completely repaired.

Honestly, who wouldn't want to soak in this fabulous space?!

We did take a bit of time the past few weeks to welcome some new friends as well. Hello Mr. Golden Finch!

Got the new sign up.

Now we are ready and very excited to share this incredible bed & breakfast with our guests. 

Whatever the weather, come stay with us! Our home, is your home.

Don't forget to stop by the pop up farm bakery stand for some fresh sourdough and other sweet treats!

So there you have it. We are officially open for business and taking bookings now. See you back here for what surely will be an epic 4th of July celebration at The Orchard BnB Vermont!
