  Products for the B&B Innkeeper
    Decorating Tips:
      I attended a conference in October 2004 where I met a woman who repurposes "stuff" into wonderful furnishing and decorations. She has quite a knack for taking old, seemingly useless items into attractive and useful items. She displayed candelabras, tables, and lamp shades at this meeting. Since then I've seen what Frugal by Design has created with shells, buttons and crystals. If you are looking for a unique touch in your B&B, check this site out. Get ideas. Buy items. Have fun!
    Flooring Information:
      Having built a house in recently I have a heightened awareness and appreciation for flooring, one of the bigger decisions in building or remodeling a home or office. I wish this site had been around when I was building because it would have helped me avoid a lot of hassles! The Flooring Lady is a site filled with great information about all kinds of flooring.
    Mattress Information:
      Sleeping well is important to me, and I have come to learn that mattresses are the foundation of good sleep. Being in the lodging business, mattresses are important to your living too. Having owned and slept on many kinds of mattresses I appreciated the information I found about them at a site that doesn't have anything to sell -- an unbiased bit of information. Since you go through more mattresses than I do, check out the The Mattress Lady website, filled with great information about various kinds of mattresses, how to clean and care for them, and the pros and cons about mattresses on the market.
    StainSolver:
      I love simplified cleaning procedures. This powerful oxygen bleach powder has simplified my laundry immensely. For cleaner sheets, towels, and table linens I can't sing this product's praises enough. I have used Stain Solver on non-laundry cleaning jobs too. For more information about this great-for- the-environmont cleaning product go to my page on Stain Solver. That page has a convenient way to order your supply too.
    Travel:
      When I discovered this travel club I was intrigued with the environmental issues they addressed offering of environmental concerns for travel, above and beyond lodging. I think of this organization as the AAA of environmental travel. They are the environmentall friendly autoclub.
    Window Coverings:
      Are you feeling overwhelmed or at a loss by a window covering? Odd shapes, special needs, or even just bored with what you have? I just discovered the Window Covering Lady and thought you'd enjoy getting some ideas about how to approach your window treatments.
