We're going to be knocking out and rebuilding a few interior walls of the new house that will need some special moulding. I've been doing as much research as I can before we have to make final decisions there. So when I was invited to come down to <a href="http://www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/" target="_blank">Colonial Williamsburg</a> in Virginia with my sister Heather and sister-in-law Kenzi, I jumped at the chance to have a girls weekends and to tour the beautiful, historically restored town and soak up all the classical and colonial architecture (and I'll be honest - the spa and the amazing food were a draw, too) :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_1090.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_1090.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 1DSC_1173.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/1DSC_1173.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0941.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0941.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_1061.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_1061.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0911.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0911.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0816.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0816.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0551.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0551.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />The past couple of weeks have been SO intense with work and the upcoming move, it was really amazing to hop in the car, get out of the city and have some kid-free time with these ladies I love so much.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0418.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0418.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />Also, I was excited to go straight to the source to see <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-your-home/williamsburg-color-collection" target="_blank">the new collection</a> of historically accurate paint colors Colonial Williamsburg recently launched with Benjamin Moore.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0698.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0698.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0753.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0753.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />The colors are more vibrant than you might have guessed, which makes complete sense after touring some of the homes in Colonial Williamsburg. Those early Americans were not afraid of color!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_1067.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_1067.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4853.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4853.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_1042.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_1042.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I fell in love with one of the greens especially. Wouldn't this dark jade make the perfect front door color for the new house, with gray for the body of the house, white for the trim and charcoal on some of the accents? I'm feeling good about this combo:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo fDSC_0713.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/fDSC_0713.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />The weekend really was magical. The <a href="http://www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/stay/williamsburg-inn/" target="_blank">Williamsburg Inn</a> was amazing, the grounds were stunning, the museums and historical sites were fascinating and inspiring. I practically never put down my camera - there was so much beauty everywhere.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4871.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4871.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4869.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4869.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /><br /><br /><img alt=" photo IMG_4875.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4875.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4870.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4870.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_0981.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/DSC_0981.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">It was so nice to be staying in the hotel right in the middle of the town.

Delicious food in a beautiful room! The Rockefellers helped to restore Colonial Williamsburg nearly 100 years ago, and this dining room felt so classic and inspired by that period. It is really lovely with chinoiserie panels, crystal chandeliers and frilly curtains. The jazz band was my favorite though. The singer's voice was a spot-on Ella Fitzgerald. Such a treat.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4867.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4867.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4733.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4733.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4873.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4873.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4866.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_4866.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A few more favorite things we did at <a href="http://www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/" target="_blank">Colonial Williamsburg</a> this weekend:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">1) <a href="http://www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/do/wellness-and-recreation/other-recreation/" target="_blank">Renting cruiser bikes</a> to ride all around town was such a treat!

That might be my record for most photos in a post! And I edited out SO many! ha! I guess I didn't realize just how inspired I would be by Colonial Williamsburg, but I came home last night rested, full, happy and bursting with new design ideas. Kenzi got a welcome break from studying for her nursing board exams and Heather's added the Williamsburg Inn to her someday-wedding-reception potential site list. :) So I'd say it was a successful girls weekend!<br /><br />Have you ever visited Williamsburg? What was your favorite thing to do or see?</div></div>
