    Busy, Busy, Busy... What A Problem To Have...

    Good problem to have, but exhausting. It's nice to be off a day here and there.

    Some great ideas, thanks. We've only had guests for two nights so far and they were very well behaved. We'll see how we do moving forward. :)

    I didn't think you were suggesting a remodel. So cool to have quilted squares from your great great grandmother. We'll see about selling quilts. Are you in Amish country? Quilts might sell here as well, but we don't get paid very much to make them. I like Morticia's idea of selling framed...

    My quilts are machine made (if they had machines back in the day, they would have used them..:) So, they are sturdy. I do have a few throw pillows made from the scaps of the quilts in the room. I make them with flap backs so they can be removed and washed. And, you're right about the cobwebs...

    I've been thinking about selling quilts in my gift shop, but I'm not sure people are willing to spend what I would need to charge. Always a handmade gift problem. But I do like the idea of the smaller quilts in the room. Thanks.

    Thanks for the compliment. If you're interested, you can see our place at StoneArchesBnB.com I've had the same experience with AirBnB. We're not going to lower our prices just to get "heads in beds", which is how someone in another thread put it. Our prices are in keeping with the two other...

    We do have area rugs that would need to be steam cleaned, but we have a steam cleaner, so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the advice. I'm listening to everyone. Lots of wisdom out there.

    I like that rule of thumb. Horizontal surfaces are for the guests, vertical ones are for decorating. Great. Thanks for that. May I ask...what do the guests do with the throw that you put at the bottom of the bed? Is it to use when taking a nap? I've been tempted to put throws on the beds...

    I put extra sleeping pillows on top of the armoires in the room if they feel the need for more pillows. On the beds, though, there just the ones they they'll use for sleeping. I figure that people want a positive overall experience. They're not going to come back specifically because of the...

    Thanks for the advice. I made the quilts for the rooms and would rather have them used than in a closet. That being said, if they do get ruined, I'll think of an alternative. I love sewing quilts and plan to make many more so I can change them out for the seasons. It's one of the reasons I...

    Our brand new bed and breakfast, StoneArchesBnB.com is a house that was originally built in 1694 (not a typo). Downstairs we have original beams and floors and it's got a rustic look. We completely redone the upstairs and doubled the thickness of the walls between the rooms, the floors up there...

    Hmm. I used to live 3 houses south of the intersection of 44 and 89 in Ashford, right? How long ago did he live there? Trying to think who your husband and father could be.

    Fruit course - what's your specialty? Simple or extravagant?

    I like the idea of the fruit and yogurt bar. I was thinking that it might also be good with sweetened sour cream.

    I'm not worried, but wondered if other browsers were off as well. So I checked the couple we have, and for some reason Edge had some of the type in blue...weird, but I was able to fix that, so you helped. Thanks.

    The formatting looks off as well. Hmm. Can you tell me which browser wasn't showing the images? Thanks.
