Beiderbecke Inn

We had a green Christmas but maybe a white New Year's

It's finally over. We completed the remodel just days before we had guests. Nothing like just in time.

The first room remodel we are doing is the Mississippi Rose room. This is one of our most popular rooms and we have a lot of guest that have trouble getting in and out of the claw foot tub/shower. We will keep the tub but add a walk-in shower. You may notice that we have also added a heated tile (not in yet) floor. Should be really nice to step out onto a warm floor.

We have completed the ladies parlor. It now has wallpaper, crown molding, and a new light fixture. We were very fortunate to get this 1890s fixture in DesMoines. It is a dual electric and gas light. The room has changed to feel more warm and cozy.

This is one of our first remodel project completed. You may have noticed that over the last 130 years the front steps have moved. We purchased three new limestone steps to replace the deteriorated concrete steps. The original steps were reset and the new steps and cheek plates added.
