Renovations

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!

Exterior Maintenance

Front Porch

Back Deck
We touched up and repainted the exterior of the inn. Maintenance was performed on the front porch and both decks. Wood was replaced and secured. Decking was all re-stained in a new dark coffee color - a perfect choice for a bed and breakfast!

Repainted Deck and Rock Edging

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.

New white soundproofing curtains (that sparkle like snowflakes), cordless window shades, wall décor by local artists, and plush grey carpet were added. A new pull out sofa twin bed was placed in the room for a third guest or for two to sleep separately. A shelf in the bathroom features a Winter scene also painted by a local artist to complete the theming.
