Hello dear blog readers! I am pleased to report that La Fonciere, the mythical chambre d'hote is now officially a 'real live' chambre d'hote. We, my house and I hosted our first guest last weekend and we, my house and I are now the proud and happy recipients of a POSITIVE review. He was a lovely guest and my house and I were on our best behaviour. I didn't swear about anything and the house didn't leak. I know I still have a lot of tweaking to do but I'll keep tweaking until it is all tweaked! Today I got another booking for the day after tomorrow...um I sort of forgot that running a chambre d'hote isn't a one off...So now I have to crack on with even more cleaning, ready to welcome my next guests...All of this means I'm not renovating so I don't have too much to share with you. But, I do remember saying that I would introduce you to the 'other front door...so here it is:
I love this door! I'm sure some would look at it and think it needs a coat of paint but I love it just the way it is...so I'm not planning on painting it. If you look above the door there is a green metal plaque...It hasn't photographed very well but it says 'La Fonciere' :-) I didn't make up a name for my house it already had one!
A close up...I love the crackly texture of the paint.
