  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🏡THE ALL NEW REDO🏡

    🎶 The walls that surround us are slowly crumblin’ down…But the heart of this foundation is still on solid ground… Just need some RENOVATION …🎶 …”Home Improvement” – George Strait 2000  https://tinyurl.com/5cnyk9wh

    🏡 She purchased an old cabin, with thoughts of a new slant,
    And BEGAN fixing it all up, new roots, yes she would plant…
    Some others she saw SNIFF around, but she won in the end,
    A pretty penny it had cost…she didn’t try pretend…
    But now she’s close to FINISH, soon the CANOPY goes up,
    And she’ll present her updates…for lounging and great sup
    To own this quaint a B&B had always been her passion…
    And now it’s a reality…brand new…and so “INN” FASHION…🏡

    …And from the looks of this place, I doubt anyone will be LODGE-ing any complaints…

    I thought we had seen this puzzle before, so I searched…And although not  a REDO, I was INN the ballpark…This is the one that I was thinking of… https://tinyurl.com/5n6dyawd  …As I like to say, there’s always ROOM for a memory jog…

    So…Today…We find ourselves at the newly decorated LODGE (= INN), owned by Penny CABOT LODGE, and dubbed the “Chic Retreat”. Having owned the lodge for a year or so, Penny’s decided that it’s time to redecorate and modernize the place, in keeping with the times (=FASHION). And with decorating sometimes being a PAINTful experience, she’s hired a crew to bring her ideas to life…And so far it’s looking oh so STYLISH (=FASHION). So much so, that her visitor, Pat SWOON, is seen marveling at the update. Yes, Penny’s invested her money well, and this new decor? …Totally “INN” FASHION https://tinyurl.com/yshdbxnn  And as for us? With the words “LODGING” and “STYLISH” in our question…and “UPDATE” and “VIRAL” in our dialogue, this puzzle was FINISHED OFF in no time…And we can HANG our hats on another easy, breezy one…’cause we HAMMERed out the details like a pro…

    Jeff’s💎Gems? The “Sweet Dreams” wall hanging, which appears to be from shag carpeting…or grass,  the 3-disc shaped vertical piece of art in front of it, the painting…reminiscent of a Picasso, the odd chandelier being hung, the #1 on the door, and the screen reading, “Welcome”…Hmm…Beauty in the eye of the beholder I guess…But definitely nothing I’d be LOBBYing for…

    So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friend, who thought he’d try his hand at renovation. This from a man who’s so DIM he experienced a POWER struggle.trying to install a LIGHT fixture. Anyway, his attempts? WALLPAPERING…but that was a real STICKY situation. Then, some PLUMBING …but what a PIPE dream that was…he just couldn’t stay aFLOAT…Laying a new PATIO? Terribly ROCKY…he was on SHAKY GROUND the whole time…DRYWALLING? He couldn’t even begin to COVER UP his mistakes…Fixing some WOOD cabinets? He became BOARD…Trust me, I could go on forever…but I’m sure you get my drift…Let’s face it, he SCREWed up everything he touched…Bottom line?…He had a list, and completely failed at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9…And that’s when he realized that he’s just not cut out to do ODD JOBS…🏡🙋🏻‍♀️

    …And a Shout 🗣️Out to David…All new anagrams today…🔠🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🔥 She never got to FINISH what she was doing once she BEGAN to SNIFF smoke…only to find her new CANOPY…which was so IN FASHION…burning…🔥

    👏🏻👏🏻 Today, install the CANOPY…they hope to FINISH quick,
    Without a SNIFF of setback, since they’ve wiped down all the brick
    They BEGAN wanting it last year, but money was in ration…
    They’re glad the model stayed in stock…and that it’s still IN FASHION…

  3. 🏡 The lodge business lucrative, true,
    But oft times calls for a redo…
    A fresh cost of paint,
    To make it more quaint…
    And furnishings completely new…🏡

    👍🏻 New decor, yes… always in style,
    The old gets blasé after ‘while…
    So to spruce up the place,
    Give it a new face…
    Can often bring lodgers for miles…👍🏻

    🏡 So Penny that we see today,
    Decided no further delay…
    She’d update her inn,
    Promote a new spin…
    And present the brand new display…🏡

    💻 And plans now are to advertise,
    As an inn that now reaches new highs…
    With style and flair,
    So Folks will flock there…
    And those viral numbers will rise… 💻

    🏡 So here’s to Penny’s open door,
    And hopes that she’ll definitely score…
    That the lodge does real well,
    And her coffers do swell…
    As soon as she’s done with the chore!🏡

  5. Out of the starting gates, immediately saw the first puzzle word as INN. Didn’t see the second word until I started unscrambling…then FASHION came to me. Cool friend story, but ODD in his own way. Thanks for posting, Angela. Terry

  6. Good morning. The anagrams were easy for me today and after studying the available letters I saw INN and it all came together. National Bacon Lovers Day ! 😀 I can’t eat much, too salty for my blood pressure, etc. 😆 Thank you for your post Angela. Have a great day, Stan

    • Good Morning, Stan. YW….and thank you. And the bacon? …Sorry about the BP…but I hope you do get to enjoy some once in a while…🏡🙋🏻‍♀️

  7. Good morning. Nailed this one pretty quick but no blind solve. Another first on your song choice Angela which was enjoyable. Love “National Bacon Day”. in Guantánamo Bay on Sundays you could have your eggs anyway you want them with steak even but I always turned that down for all the bacon I could get. I’ll take bacon every time!! Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Tk you…Glad you enjoyed the song…And I’m with you…there can never be enough 🥓 bacon…Take care. 🏡🙋🏻‍♀️

  8. I thought the sniff anagram was ‘finis’ but lacking the ‘s’ for fashion cleared that up and allowed me to complete the ‘inn’ fashion cartoon solution. Chuck.

  9. As soon as you walk right inn

    You won’t know where to begin

    Such décor, such dash

    It’s worth the cash

    And your head will surely spin!

    Helen

    • 🤷🏻‍♀️ New decor always does entertain,
      Especially entrances, main…
      But for this little inn,
      When did Penny begin…
      To go on this modern campaign?…🤷🏻‍♀️

      🤷🏻‍♀️Before it was cozy and quaint,
      All it really needed was some paint…
      But Penny went way out,
      On a mission, no doubt…
      Seems she had not a bit of restraint…🤷🏻‍♀️

      🤷🏻‍♀️Such a big change with a different slant,
      To recall the before? …now you just can’t…
      It’s modern to the nines,
      And has blurred many lines…
      That you wonder will comfort it grant?…🤷🏻‍♀️

      🤷🏻‍♀️It’s just nothing like it used to be,
      Now there’s lots of odd pieces to see…
      Will it go over well…
      Will it be a good sell? 
      Or will Penny be facing ennui?…🤷🏻‍♀️

      🤷🏻‍♀️It remains now to just wait it out,
      Will the update manage to gain clout?…
      The appeal…yes, all new,
      But..a startling view…
      Far as stylish?…There may be some doubt…🤷🏻‍♀️

  10. Angela, Absolutely loved your King George song pick. Going through a frustrating bathroom total gut job (its taken 6 months+ already). Have a great day. – Dave
