What's Inn a Name?

In the midst of my Blueprint Buzz, I began to brainstorm about what names I would assign to my Guest Rooms.  The Ballard Inn, the Inn I had visited, had a special name for each and every room.  I loved the idea and wanted to do the same.

At first, a dear friend and I came up with a host of names associated with Baking - such as The Buttercream Room, The Red Velvet Room, etc...  But that theme seemed too cutesy.  

So instead I focused on my French Farmhouse Style for Inspiration - and focused in on France.  I could title the Guest Rooms with different French sayings like Joie de Vivre or Salon Chic.  Or perhaps I could choose French cities or Streets...or even Landmarks like the Louvre.  

All of this talk about French - took on a life of its own.  I've always been enamored with the language but studied Spanish instead.  What kind of a fraud would I be if I inspired France in my Inn without speaking a single word???

So what else could I do but conspire with my friend to learn French together.  And so within 24-hours, I purchased a Rosetta Stone 1-5 French Learning Set and committed to learning the language - complete with a partner to keep me on task.  

Pourquoi pas?  Why not?!

Reves Doux,
Moi
