Of Dappled Things

If you own a B & B, you know the work that goes into keeping one lovely. But you also know the creativity it takes to establish a theme and carry it through right down to the homemade lavender soap in the antique China dish. It can be overwhelming for some who just want to make money and have little creative know-how to transform an old house into a magical manor of yesteryear. If you are creative, you'll get it done!  If you are not, find someone who can help you select a theme and follow it through in all aspects of your B & B business. There are many books about starting a B & B or Inn. Read up, and visit B & Bs and Inns to see firsthand how it is done. Ask a lot of questions about investment, income, tourist locales, tips on cooking and decorating. Most B & B operators enjoy sharing their experiences with guests. 

If you can imagine "dappled things" and become "oh so Martha Stewartish" in your own way, then you will be happy operating a B & B...perhaps not wealthy, but happy!
