| This is Gary, the Pres. of the florists's association; I wanted you to see this massive antique in the foyer. |
 |
| One of the bedrooms. They aren't large, but very well appointed. |
 |
| Another of the guest rooms |
 |
| and it's sitting room area |
 |
| We loved this green room - very soothing, and the headboard was totally surprising in this otherwise very symmetrical room. |
 |
| Another elegant choice |
 |
| The desk in a pale aqua room |
 |
| And the smashing lavatory basin, on which it would be just my luck to drop something heavy and shatter it. I love the "bow-tie" marble floor too! |
 |
| My friend Teri, who invited me to the event, in front of one of the interesting 1920's style murals painted in the hallways. |
 |
| and another mural. Wouldn't you like to stay in this lovely place? Next time you are in Durham, NC, check it out. We attended a meeting of the neighboring county florist's association. The food was provided by Culinary Visions Catering, from Greensboro, NC. It was very good; especially the chicken, the broccoli casserole and the carrot cake! Vicki, you would love it here when you come back for a visit. |

I think they are under selling themselves calling it a B&B. With all those amenities and classy decor I would call it a country house hotel - in Britain that is.
That does look like a lovely place with lots of character; the rooms are all so individual, obviously a lot of effort has gone into them.
I love the murals too, simple and tasteful.
Unfortunately I'm a long way from NC so will just appreciate your photos ;-)

It is very nice, not my style at all but I can see it's been done beautifully.
I agree with Pat, that is much nicer than any B&B I have ever seen and just a tad beyond my budget. Howerver if I find a rich old codger, would love to try it.
Here the "King's Daughters" did the children's hospitals. This looks like a very restful place to stay.
Time I talked to Elly. ;) This is the kinda luxury she should be providing for her aged mother!! :lol:
I love the Wall Murals.... it has given me an idea. :D
Judy,
I would love to stay there. It is so beautiful. I could imagine a week of relaxing and being pampered. I would bring a good book to read and comfortable shoes for early morning walks.
I would love to stop and see the place. Unfortunately, my husband is a drive straight through and avoid all cities kind of driver. I'm glad i could enjoy it through your pictures.
How beautiful, the green room made my mouth water (my own bedroom is a similar green) not so elegant
;-). Did give me some ideas.
Second post, looks like the first went into the bit bucket!? How beautiful a place, wish it was close enough to take a stroll through, loved the green room, but the copper one was my favorite. Like to see the menu for breakfast. Mmmm.
I would be in heaven in such a retreat. It would be perfectly fine to go alone and enjoy the comfort all to myself because I can assure you, Ron wouldn't be caught dead on the doorstep.
What a beautiful and Elegant place....It has the feeling of a small English Hotel....! I LOVED that Green Room, too...!
That looks like a lovely place to stay! I love the antique stand / mirror in the hall!
Did you get to stay the night? Very elegant!
