Early Spring Bloom in Atlanta

It's hard to believe that spring has exploded around south Metro Atlanta!

Bradford Pear trees have bloomed and already dropped the flowers! And without much warning!

I think all of us that suffer from allergies were caught off guard but after a cold, dingy winter we were all ready for warmth and color in our landscapes.

Which brings me to my strawberry plants. I planted these last year and since it was my first year growing strawberries I didn't know what to expect. My hearty plants not only thrived in the snow, rain, and cold weather but they spread like crazy and celebrated the early arrival of spring with these pretty blooms a few days ago!

Banana Crunch Muffins

Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast offers corporate travelers a great alternative to impersonal hotels with many of the comforts of home . . .

Banana Crunch Muffins, along with our convenient Kuerig Coffee and Tea Stations satisfy early risers until a "made-from-scratch" breakfast is served at 8:30 AM. (Monday through Friday).

Weekend travelers are encouraged to sleep in and enjoy at full breakfast at 9:30 AM Saturday and Sunday!

Quiet Mornings In Newnan, Georgia

These pretty shots are courtesy of our guest Pamela Sheffield (FL) who took advantage of a wonderfully sunny morning to walk the grounds of Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast before breakfast!

It was fun see our house from someone else's perspective and she captured some of my favorite elements!

Strawberry Shortcake Biscuit

I wrote about this sweet offering earlier in the week but didn't have a chance that morning to snap a photo-so I planned it again for our July 4th weekend guests. A fresh easy dish to bake and so pretty to see first thing in the morning.

Sweetened pioneer biscuits are toasted until golden. Fresh strawberries soaked in a watermelon-raspberry syrup topped with fresh lightly whipped cream and my homemade black raspberry syrup!

These beautiful glasses are part of a handpainted dessert set that lend themselves to reds and oranges and always demand a few oohs and ahh's.

Afternoon Delight

After a day in the sun at our wonderful saline pool, grab one of Ron's "famous" chocolate chip cookies and retire to your "cool" room for an afternoon nap or a good movie. Casa Bella offers premium movie channels and cool, crisp Italian sheets and cotton quilts.

Casa Bella Welcomes Guests from Around The U.S. and Europe

Within days of officially opening our new Bed and Breakfast we welcomed guests from New York, Michigan, Canada and Sweden.

Mr. Foster, who is 89 years old, traveled to his son's ranch in Florida for a working holiday, while Carol traveled from Sweden to investigate a franchise that would allow her young family to relocate back to her home state of Delaware after 19 years abroad! Welcome Home, Carol! You've been missed!

Guestroom Tre

This week our third accommodation, Guestroom Tre, opens as a spacious retreat with a painted king Wesley Allen Iron Bed; complete with comfortable pillowtop mattress and fresh, creamy 400 thread count linens from Italy.

Dating back to the original owner, this pretty bathroom offers a tub with double waterfall shower heads, roomy granite-topped vanity with plenty of oversized, fluffy towels, eco-friendly bath toiletries and Restoration Hardward bathrobes.

Plenty of drawer space, an armiore with 32-inch color TV loaded with movie and music channels. and two custom club chairs on creamy white carpet, this soft retreat is the perfect spot for a long getaway weekend!

Quiet Details in A Noisy World

Over the last few years, I have wanted to simplify our household. I love pretty things but don't even"kinda" like the clutter!

Our approach to Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast has been "less is more", choosing cottons and natural fabrics easily cleaned in the laundry rather than with harsh dry-cleaning chemicals. No fussy layerings that can potentially gather dust, limited use of scented items infused with strong carrier oils that can potentially cause discomfort for those with sensitivites to those products.

Uncluttered space, surfaces that are easily cleaned and sanitized for your comfort. Lots of open space and quiet interiors. 

Sit Down and Relax "A Spell"

The public spaces of Casa Bella are filled with books, magazines, notecards and reasons to stay put while your battery recharges. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea from the Guest Beverage Center, post a letter at Char's antique desk or enjoy one of Patty's many cookbooks and design books.

If you're the type that appreciates not having to ask for everything, no worries, you'll find our convenient Guest Beverage Center with refrigerator stocked full of popular coffees, teas, water and iced tea, all within easy reach.  

The original morning room is only a few steps from the kitchen.  Quiet, serene and wonderfully lit, this peaceful space is the perfect spot to enjoy the smells of the morning.

And, if this all sounds too much like work. . .there's always the front porch-filled with comfy furniture and plenty of entertainment as the work passes by!

Home, Sweet Home!

Guests are invited to enjoy several public areas-adjacent to the dining area in the front hall! Curl up with a good book or magazine and enjoy the peaceful quiet! Grab a cup of coffee or tea from the drink bar and watch the world go by on our 800 sf front porch!  Warm weather's on the way.

Kiwi and Patti

One of the best ways to spend a Saturday in Newnan between April and December is the Market Days that takes place on the court square each April to December. http://www.mainstreetnewnan.com/

My mouth is watering just thinking about the grilling applewood bacon offered by Pine Street Market of Avondale Estates.

The pancetta is exceptional and reminds me of market days in Tuscany.

Market Days takes place the first Saturday of each month! Hope I will see you there.

Thanks to P.S.S. Signs of Newnan for our beautiful Limoncello glasses with our new logo.  Beautiful to behold and I'm sure they will make the homemade Limoncello taste that much better.

34 Madison Design Shop of Newnan is responsible for the cheerful new seat cushions for the outside breakfast table on the front porch.  Great attention to detail and a delight to work with!

Just two of the retail businesses located in downtown Newnan that make shopping a pleasure!

French Potato Omelette

This was a very popular omelette served at The Old Garden Inn. Thinly-sliced seasoned boiled potatoes fried in a few tablespoons of olive oil until crispy. 

Shown here with a other popular ingredients. . . Applewood-smoke bacon-cured locally, fresh Chinese chives and goat cheese. 

Silky eggs that are not overbeaten or filled with air are created with a low, preheated pan.

Just one of the many favorites we will re-introduce at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast!

Our Number 1 Goal

Our goal as innkeepers and hosts at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast is to create a memorable overnight experience that lingers long past the physical stay.

The first glimpse of pretty accommodations is just the beginning of an experience made up of minute details and elements chosen to create an atmosphere of romance, comfort and relaxation.

Leaving home can often be a frustrating and long-winded experience resulting in more pain that pleasure.  Casa Bella strives to alliviate the stress of crowded airports and overcrowded highways by providing sunny, well-lit nooks for reading and relaxing, fresh linens and fluffy pillows with cotton covers, a gourmet breakfast experience with fresh linens and flowers, fresh-roasted signature coffee and gourmet teas, and public areas that are designed to refresh and renew your spirit.
