Thursday's Travels - Historic Shepherdstown

Oldest Town in West Virginia -

My husband and I  had never been to  Shepherdstown until our son bought and has painstakingly and still painstakingly restored a house that was built in 1760's . More about the house in a later post. Our first visit to this area , we fell in love with the historic houses in downtown, the college smack in the middle of town. The energy is alive and happening in Shepherdstown.

 

 

 

Restaurants in Shepherdstown are everywhere! I have not had the opportunity to try them all, but I will tell you about two of them that can't go wrong. Betty's Restaurant is a Shepherdstown landmark and the home of the best sausage gravy or chipped beef gravy around. Not a place to count calories for sure, but if you are looking for good old-fashioned home cooking - Betty's is the place. More than likely there will be a wait.

 

 

 

 

The Blue Moon Café - has everything you would want in dining. The setting to begin with, then you have the organic offerings which is always a treat. Music, wine, & atmosphere! What more could you ask for. Except I did ask for a candle for my table the night we dined there - it just seemed fitting.
When there I recommend to start your experience with the Tuscan Bean Bruschetta or Cucumber Bruschetta.  Love, Love, Love, the Hummus Plate.  Hmmm!  I'm ready to go now.

 

 

 

 

Lodging in Shepherdstown.  On our visits we stay with our son, which is always a treat.

If I had to choose a place to rest my head, I would definitely stay at the Thomas Shepherd Inn.

Located in the heart of historic Shepherdstown, the restored 1868 federal style property offers personal attention.  They advertise an elegant décor, beautiful antiques and a relaxing atmosphere.

Six charming room with private baths.

 

 

 

 

 

Things to Do & See.

 

Shepherdstown offers riveting festivals of the performing arts. Shepherdstown Museum at the Entler Hotel takes you back to its history.  Shepherdstown Opera House shows the best in independent films.

We cannot forget Christmas in Shepherdstown, I can just imagine all of the shoppes, and

eateries decked out with little white lights and wreaths on the windows. Definitely need

to put this on my Bucket List for the holiday season.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for coming with me  on my Thursday's Travels today.  For more information on

Shepherdstown, make sure to visit their website. 

 

Let me know if you make it to Betty's or the Blue Moon Cafe'.

Live Large in Small Spaces

 

                                      High Ceilings  &  A Wall of Windows gives Energy to the Room

One of my most favorite places to explore, shop, dream is Ikea.  My very first visit to their store in Charlotte found me hanging outside the display of their 600-800 square foot spaces that would offer you everything you would need to exist in a tiny apartment anywhere.  I could have moved right in this sweet cocoon of a space. Can you spot the kitty cat?

 



Bet Your Dreams will be Sweet Here .  

 

Tiny little bathroom has nice storage.  Love Baskets for all the Extras!

 

 

 

 

 A Small Kitchen with Style & Living Large!

 

 

 

 

 

In small spaces furniture will serve multiple purposes.  A Daybed serves as seating by day and sleeping space by night.  Perhaps a farm table will be your desk, then become

your dining table in the evening.

Whatever, the space, whatever your style.  Little spaces can be Welcoming, Light & Airy
and a beautiful nest to come home to.

Happy Day!

Let's Talk White Rooms!

 

I have always been in love with "white rooms".  There is something about

entering an all white room that speaks to me instantly about freshness, crispness,

and a sense of peacefulness.

 

If upon an  indebt look at an "all white" room you will soon realize,

it is anything but.

 

 

 

An easy task . . . purchase everything white, and place it in your room.  It takes

a little more thought than that.  Let's explore the steps in getting that fresh

"white" room.

 

 

 

 

Decide where you "will not" use white. Perhaps you have natural hardwood floors or a sisal rug, furniture with exposed wood.  Then decide where the white "will be".  More than likely it will be in the upholstery, pillows, drapery, bedding or accessories.

 

 

Secret Ingredient:  . . . add a few "non-white" colors to mix.  In bedroom picture, note

the beautiful softs hues of gray and blue.

 

In each of the rooms featured, you will still feel as if you have just entered a fresh

white room.

 

One last room  . . .

 

 

 

The Kitchen. . . Can't you picture yourself having breakfast or lunch or

even entertaining in this lovely space?

 

 I have had an  "almost" all white room and raised our three children at the same time.  I had two sofas slip-covered in a white damask fabric. At the end of the summer season, the slip covers would come off and into the washer they would go and back on the sofas. We then down-sized and the sofas went off to two of my children's homes for more years of service, still looking fresh as ever.  If you have ever dreamed of having a white room, but a little scared, go ahead and give it a try!   I did, and to this day -  never regretted it.  In fact, as I sit here

writing this post, I'm just about ready to do it again! . . . . . .
