Richard Gere

Now here is a very popular Bed and Breakfast Inn. The Bedford Post, at 954 Old Post Road in Bedford, NY just 45 minutes north of New York City. Owned by the very famous Richard Gere and his wife, Carey Lowell. The Bedford Post Inn is an eight-room luxury inn with beautiful rooms and most with fireplaces. There are two restaurants. The Barn for casual dining (be prepared to make your reservations at least 2 months in advance for either restaurant) and The Farmhouse a fine dining restaurant. The Inn and the restaurants are a great addition to the town of Bedford and we all wish Mr. and Mrs Gere much success in their new venture. Few of us work that hard to make a dream come true but we can say from the background of Mr. and Mrs Gere that there will be success.

Even if you did not grow these yourself and purchased them at a fresh vegetable stand you know their good for you. Seasonal food is also less expensive. The above mentioned is easy to prepare and there are dozens of recipes to prepare separately or together. Teach you children to love these wonderful vegetables when they are young and hopefully they will not meet a mate who does like vegetables and change their eating habits. Children who eat healthy foods grow up to be healthy adults. I can hardly wait for the fiddlehead’s as they are only available for a few weeks. I love them with new potatoes, green beans, and fresh beets. What is your favorite? Let us know.

Spring cleaning is a time to thoroughly clean your home and get your house and life in order. Open the windows and air out the house from being closed up all winter. Get that dust out. Make a checklist for each room. Put away your winter clothes. Clean the windows. Did you know you after you make your check list for each room you can allow yourself 15 minutes for each room and complete everything that needs to be done. You just have to have everything in order.
Even businesses like Bed and Breakfast Inn which are kept clean on a daily basis 365 days a year do their Spring cleaning. Who would not want everything smelling fresh, polished and organized.   Also remember to check the Internet or your favorite magazine or recipe book (many have this information) for not only the supplies you will need but also for homemade cleaning solutions for you to whip up yourself and use to clean. Have fun and enjoy the rewards of your work.

Balanced Room

Do not put sad painting on the wall these will not encourage romance, love or happiness. A bedroom should feel pleasurable and passionate. This is why your guest came to visit. If possible fresh flowers are a positive in the bedroom. Guests are looking for relaxation, new experiences, romance, improvement in their lives just by getting away from the one they just left and they are looking to you to make their life happier.

Positive Thinking

Take time to appreciate, your guests, make sure you have some fresh fruit around for them to eat. Be generous with your time and compassion. Hoarding or scrimping will work against you financially so keep everything clean and uncluttered especially in the back left side of every room.

The Kitchen

Make sure there is nothing broken in your kitchen and that it is very clean. You do not want any negative energy. Throw out any old outdated food, cookware, or junk food. Display fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
A good thing to do is hang a small mirror near the stove. This is to see who is coming in and out of the kitchen. This is said to increase your wealth. A shiny tea kettle is said to bring good luck as well. Make sure the faucet does not leak if it does you are just throwing your money down the drain. Make sure when you cook you rotate using the burners. Keep at least one potted plant in the kitchen for good energy.

Your Bathroom

Clean and uncluttered a must. If it is dirty and cluttered you are just throwing away your cash flow. No toothpaste or soap scum anywhere this will really upset the wealth energy. Vinegar once a month in the drains for 10 minutes brings positive cash flow. Make sure the sink and bathtub drains are covered.

Living Room

You want harmony in the living room for you and your guests. Corners and alcoves should have a lamp to keep the room well lit for positive energy. Again a potted plant or two is not only suggested but a must. Mirrors must be placed correctly because if not they could create negative energy. Make sure they reflect a positive reflection. Do not make your TV the center of attention this affects the chi. Clean, uncluttered and inviting are the important things to remember.

Is your Domain Name is right for your web site?

if not still renew your old domain name and redirect to your new one for a couple of years just in case your clients have your past domain in their files. Keep track and ask them to make sure they change this information to your new domain name.  Remember times change and so should the look of your web sites and keeping up with these changes let’s your clients know you care about your business. Just like you do any thing. You need to keep up with the times.

Professional Web Designers Want YOU to Make Money

If they web host your web site they constantly keep an eye on where you are in the search engines. If you need changes they are there to help.

I need to point out that choosing a domain name that connects with your business is important because when a client or guest is trying to recall who you are it is easier for them to remember you if your domain name is connected with your business. Domain names with less letters are easier to remember. Complimentary colors are important for your domain and two or three should be the limit.

Professional looking Photography

We have suggested before if you do not have a large budget go to your local high school or junior college ask the photojournalist professor to recommend who in his class is best to take photo’s for you. I am sure the student would love to have your photo’s for his portfolio. A photo gallery is great for almost any business. This is much less and helps the student. Text.. we recommend 250 words of text especially for the first page and as many pages as you can describe the content. Five to ten pages for a small site is perfect. One with a form to contact you is really helpful.

This is not all

The information we can pass on but we hope that this is helpful. Remember a new web site is like buying new clothes, a new house, or a new car. It makes people stand up and take notice. We look forward to promoting your business new or updating one you have had for years. Contact the team at Bed and Breakfast Web Designs who design for almost any business. We are here to help.
