Red Chair Travels | Cape Cod

April 29th, 2012 by Trish Robinson

Sunken Garden

Quintessential Falmouth Village Main Street

The Red Chair has continued on its journey of a Better Way to Stay in Cape Cod and has arrived at The Captain’s Manor in in Falmouth.  What a wonderful time visiting some of Cape Cod’s great landmarks including lovely Inns , museums, eateries, beaches, and quaint villages such as Falmouth Village’s main street.

What I found as we chaperoned the chair is that it is famous !  When we went over to the Queens Buyway shops a local bicycle rider yelled out “Is that THE red chair” and we were happy to reply it sure is!  The next stop was Ben & Bill’s Chocolate emporium where one of the staff made a point of going to get the local paper and show the rest of her co-workers the article that had been written.  I had no sooner arrived at Highfield Hall and was taking the chair out for its picture in the sunken garden when two of my favorite people from the Hall, Janet and Pat,  came out and said they were just taking about the Red Chair the other day and saying wouldn’t it be great if it made a visit here.  Off to the Visitor Center where the cry went out “The Red Chair is here”.  My personal favorite was after taking some great shots over at the Nobska Lighthouse a gentlemen made a point of jogging over from across the street saying he just had to see what the fuss was about with THE Red Chair.

Some of our favorite pictures were at the Nobska Lighthouse and Highfield Hall.  Also check out our full gallery of pictures on facebook and our movie on youtube

What a great morning for a walk.  Decided to go to Woods Hole which is a 3.5 mile walk from the Inn.  Although it was a bit overcast it did not seem to bother the ospreys and other critters out an about.  One of the great things about a walk down to Woods Hole is that once you get there you can turn around and walk on back (after a treat at Pie in the Sky) or you can decide 3.5 miles was enough and hop on the Steamship Authority shuttle bus and hop a ride back to the parking lot just a short half mile stroll from the Inn.  Guess what we did :)

Robin Pierson | Window Art Update

April 18th, 2012 by Trish Robinson

We are excited to share progress on the window art being worked on by Robin Pierson for the Canopy room.  As you will see by the pictures below, Robin has taken the original window and placed the antique style map of Cape Cod within the main panes.  More pictures of progress should follow in the next couple of weeks.

Cape Cod Patio | Falmouth Ma

The weather has been beautiful the past couple of days here at The Captain’s Manor Inn which is helping us to get some important outdoor work completed on the new construction.  The finishing touches are being done on the new main entrance stairs to the veranda and Kevin has been very busy creating the new brick patio at the base of the stair entrance.  Needless to say his back and knees are a bit sore!

Hope you enjoy these pictures of the progess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Katherine Lee Bates Room Construction

March 30th, 2012 by Trish Robinson

Hard to believe that less than 60 days are left until we reopen the Inn.  The tiling of all the new bathrooms is well underway and the crown molding and wood trim is in process.  The Bates room is a fun room to capture as it progresses. We posted a short video below that we hope you enjoy :)

Work is underway on beautiful window art for the Canopy Room.  A local artisan, Robin Pierson, is being featured in Cape Cod magazine and we got a sneak preview when Robin stopped by to pickup the window last week.  Please scroll down below for a copy of the article.  We can not wait to show off our piece of art when it is done!!

 

Interior Framing of New Rooms |Falmouth | Bed & Breakfast

February 22nd, 2012 by Trish Robinson

As the winter continues to be mild we are VERY thankful.  The exterior walls of the Inn have been opened into the new addition as the framing of interior walls, rough in plumbing and rough in electrical begins.  Needless to say it is quite dusty and drafty, we can just imagine how cold it would be if it were a typical winter:)

Thought you might enjoy some pictures showing the breakthrough and also some of the new rooms being framed out.

 

 

 

Window Art | Robin Pierson | Cape Cod

February 17th, 2012 by Trish Robinson

We are very pleased that as part of our Inn expansion we will be adding a wonderful piece of art to the Canopy room.  The Captain’s Manor Inn has wonderful original windows with plantation shutters that we have worked hard to maintain as we renovate and add on to the property.  In the Canopy room we are in the process of taking out the old bathroom and an old closet and that space will now become part of the living area of the bedroom.  We are also adding on a new bathroom which will feature custom tile work and a large 5 x 4 foot shower.  To do this work we are adding to the back of the room and we have decided to keep the old window and plantation shutter but to create a work of art highlighted within the window as specialized in by Robin Pearson.  We will keep you posted on the progress  but in the meantime here are some pictures what has been taken out and some initial work by Robin as well as an example of her work from another project.  Enjoy.
