After what seemed like forever, our final beds, mattresses and box springs have all made it!

We are now one step closer to being ready to open!

And the Turner Room may have a new piece soon! This is an Early 1800s Baltimore Sattee. It is believed that Jerome Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, proposed to Betsy Patterson on it. We are discussing the purchase.

But we think it would be great in the “Bridal Suite”.

What do you think?

The Madison Room has its Tempurpedic Mattress now too!

We also received 16 pillows for the bedrooms

4 for each room – two sets of High Profile and two sets of Low Profile

We are getting excited! Opening day is coming soon!

    Beautiful beds, and they complement the rooms and house so well too. Great to see you still doing so well, after all this time. Regards as always from England. Pete.

  9. Thank you Pete! We are getting the finishing touches done so we can get the doors open!

  10. I agree, the sattee belongs in the bridal suite, everything looks wonderful!

  11. Thank you so much! I think it is going to work there. Especially with its history!

  12. David Says:

    The tempurpedics are probably more comfortable than the lumpy mattresses of those days. 😉

  13. The mattresses in those days would have been hay or goose feathers. Talk about bed bugs!

  14. You need a few beautiful patchwork quilts to go on those lovely beds.

  15. We are working on that! In fact we have two people coming to see me this week! We can’t wait!

  16. I’m looking forward to seeing the photos of them.

  17. I will get them out as soon as we get them!

  18. Lovely! I am a quiltmaker so I will be very interested to see what your ladies come up with.

  19. I’ll post it as soon as I can!
