Before, During,and After: Maxwell Perkins Library









We present, The Maxwell Perkins Library at Snapdragon Inn. It has gone through a bit of a transformation. We closed up a door (spa room will be on the other side), built new bookcases, stripped the wallpaper, re mudded, took down the drop ceiling, put up a new one, took out the old stove and put in a Vermont Castings Stove and made it look inviting. This wall paper was NOT easy to get off and I think Big Red spent days in there working on it but doesn't it look lovely. I think it is ready for book groups, literary conferences, and afternoon teas.

I think as many renovations projects go, you never take enough before pictures. We did take some and you get the idea but as renovations and decorations taper off, we need to clean up our hard drives and organize ALL of our pictures. Until that point, we will post what we can organize.
