Renovations

Little River Magnets



Little River B&B Magnets

While we have been closed due to COVID-19, we have not just been lounging around watching Netflix (well - maybe a little!). We have been very busy renovating both the interior and exterior of our inn. Some projects took hours, while others took weeks as we did all the labor ourselves. We even found time to do a bit of artwork and created some hand-painted magnets! We wanted to share our results with you. We sincerely hope that you will be able to see the renovated B&B in person once this pandemic has passed. Please enjoy!

This was our largest and longest project to date. We totally renovated the third floor to create a huge private space overlooking the river. We painted, leveled and placed vinyl floors, built and tiled a walk in shower, hand tiled a sink backsplash and installed all new bath fixtures. We created photography for the walls, sewed pillows and valances, decorated and furnished the room in the treetop theme - Spring for the hall and bath and Fall for the bedroom.

New Perennial Garden

All garden beds have been mulched and new grass has been planted. Loam was added to grassy areas to even them out for safety and to make hillsides less steep. All rock decorative edging was redone, and a new perennial flower bed was planted on the front lawn.
