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!
