Savannah Pics!!!

Recently, we were asked to provide the antique mirrors for the beautiful Bohemian Hotel in Savannah, GA. Not just any antique mirrors — mirrors with splashes of copper and gold to line all seven guest hallways & elevator platforms as well as mirrors with plums and antique copper patinas for the back wall of the lobby. The interior design was approved by Savannah’s Historic Review Board and although it has a contemporary design, it also channels a vintage allure that recalls the era when settlers first arrived.

The sibs and I have traveled together before but this was the first time we all took our loved ones — and we headed to the hotel’s Grand Opening weekend! The Gorgeous Hubster and I had a beautiful room on the 4th floor with a balcony that opened up to a riverfront view. The room was super high-tech and the bathroom had handcarved furniture, gorgeous light fixtures and yummy goodies. Take a look at the view from the rooftop bar!

Here’s the best images we have — mirrors are hard to photograph. Our opinion is that they look better in person, hope that doesn’t sound presumptuous. Can’t wait to see the pro pics!

During our stay, we took the town by storm. (Or, I should say the town took us by storm. There was a lot of walking — and rain — involved.) Here’s images from the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, both exterior and interior.

Walking around Savannah, you can see how important decorative ironworks were to their history. It’s said to have been chosen due to its resistance to the constant threat of fire. Here are two examples and although you might think the gate on the right is all leaves, it does have a secret squirrel.

Here’s some of the other images taken while walking around. One of the most charming towns in America, I’d say.? (BTW, the below images include the gold leaf cupola on City Hall It was a $240,000 commission whose project monies were donated by an anonymous philanthropist. Bit of faux gossip.)

I leave you with a pic of all of us (minus me, I’m behind the camera) about to enjoy a late brunch at Huey’s. From Left to Right: The Yummy Hubby, Chris, Monica Zeuli, my brother Jason, future brother-in-law Andree, my sister Suzy and my nephew Alex and niece Melanie.
