When we first posted about the Tonk's Tail B&B being open for business, loads of folks here and on Facebook raved about how gorgeous our home was.
So many, in fact, that we began to feel a bit guilty about misleading you.
Confession time: this lovely Victorian thing...is not our home.
No, our mom was too lazy to get a real B&B shingle for us to set out in our front yard, so she used a stock photo to create one in Photoshop instead.
Alas, we're stuck with your run-of-the-mill, Midwest suburban home.

But there really is a Green Room. (It was painted a very dark green when the home was purchased, but the name stuck)
And there really is a Blue Room. Though it's more of a blue-and-brown room, come to think of it....
(and a cherry tree, four apple trees, two plums, a peach and two pear trees. But we digress!)
Oh yeah, and for a few days...THIS.

Well, color-of-room confusion or not, WE would sure love to spend time there!
ReplyDeleteIt's still a very nice home!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful home. We love that tall, arched window in front (though it must be lots of fun for your humans to wash!)
ReplyDeleteYour actual house looks lovely! As far as thinking the Victorian was yours, we might have been led astray if it wee not for the purple. We didn't see you with purple on your house.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely still a beautiful house!
ReplyDeleteWe still think it looks lovely! We may have missed out being in KC!
ReplyDeleteAt the time of your original post, mom said she thought the Victorian B&B might be a Photoshop fantasy. Your real house is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour house may not be a Victorian, but we think it's very nice nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteBoth houses are beautiful. Your actual home is definitely not "run of the mill" One day in the future it will be considered as stately as the Victorian
ReplyDeleteYour real home is beautiful. Certainly not run of the mill. We'd love to have all those fruit trees at our place. I love that you call the one room the green room and its not even green.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely home! I love the photo of Snotface and Faraday.
ReplyDeleteEven if its not Victorian your house is gorgeous! And mes LOVES the pictures of Faraday and SnotFace!

That is a beautiful home and I can tell you from experience that big Victorian houses eat money. Like popcorn with lots of butter. They are pretty for sure - but money pits.
ReplyDeleteI like your home better anyway
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful home (and B & B) which has gorgeous landscaping!
ReplyDeleteThe B&B was amazing and the management was a hoot to play with! *Mischievous grin*
ReplyDeleteThanks for having the staff and me and glad we were part of those shenanigans!!!
We give A Tonk's Tail B&B an enthusiastic 8 paws and 2 thumbs up! (that's all paws and thumbs we have)
ReplyDeleteWe stayed in the Green Room. The comfy bed easily fit all three of us and Waffles and I didn't even have to touch each other. There was a giant window with a view of the garden and the birds. We had out own private litter room closet and a walk in shower to play in.
According to Glogirly the meal service was OUTSTANDING. Not that WE ever saw a morsel of the delectable cuisine she was dining on. Something about an herbed chicken marsala, home made pizza, chocolate/banana/coconut shakes and cherry PIE. Yes, pie.
Glogirly tried to offer the chef a full time gig in Minneapolis. She even thought about kidnapping him on the way home. ; ) She keeps repeating, in a very forlorn voice, "a girl can dream, can't she?"

Your house is lovely. Wish we could come visit you. We used to live north of Kansas City. Well, okay, Mommy did, in the dark ages, when she was growing up.
ReplyDeleteYour real home is still a beautiful home ! And according to Katie, the room service seems to be purrfect ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteWOooHoo the THIS is something (someone?) else. Most of our trees are not quite that big though!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's STILL a beautiful home! With all those trees and big windows, we can understand why you have such great bird and squirrel TV there! :)
ReplyDeleteYou were very well behaved allowing that ferret to roam in your home!

ReplyDeleteYou had me fooled :) I actually like your real home better- it is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteOMC! Your den is a castle compared to our 1907 story and a half wooden structure...oh well, we have a roof ovfur our heads...
ReplyDeleteDid you whap the ferret??
It's beautiful! We are most jealous that Snot if visiting you. Tell him and his Mommy hello from us.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Though not that huge, gorgeous Victorian, your house is pretty darn impressive. You could have photoshopped a sign in your yard, and we all still would have been asking if that is really your home. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteIt's still beautiful. And every time I see pics of your yard I get jealous.
