I thought I would take us back a year (2 days ago) to the beginning of this blog and the recording of this experience. What a trip--and we are all still talking to one another :) Let's see if we can get some comments from the Snapdragon crew about favorite memories from the past year. I have a few I am going to post now. I also enjoyed looking back to see how much we have done! Phew!

And so it begins- July 08, 2008
We officially close on Friday on 26 Main, soon to be the Snapdragon Inn. Renovations have already begun, logos are designed, business cards are on order, color palettes developed and furniture is being hunted down. This will be quite the experience!
I won't try to give the whole overview in just one post, it's a bit too much. But we are an extended family who have gathered together (from points all over the globe) to the small town of Windsor, Vermont, where we are embarking on an adventure to turn an old house on Main Street into an Inn. We'll be using this blog to document the experience, and will cover renovation, the design process, our marketing plans, history on the building and the area, a little more about us, and probably some funny stories as we stumble along the way.

1. Those first days we did demo--all of us over at the Inn and JD seriously went all HULK on us ripping out the closets. Get out of his way for real!
2. Heading to Brimfield with our Snapdragon Team, equipped with list, walkie talkies, and the way we so perfectly coordinated the pick up of everything at the end of day. Pretty darn good for our first time to Brimfield--our lives were changed forever.
3. And this should have been Number 1 but getting going to India and having custom SD fabric printed and that being one of the most amazing days of my life.
Now I am going to go back to having contractions :)
One of my favorite memories is getting the wallpaper off the dreaded fireplace wall in room 4 ...plaster, layers of wall paper and a few coats of paint made it a long, slow process ... it wasn't fun work but I remember there were five of us there for about 5 hours on one wall and we had such a blast. Good company has made this whole process more manageable.
