NEW Patio Seating at the Amsden
Here at the Amsden, we may have the taste of fall inside, but we are still hanging on to the last thread of summer outside! Come enjoy the last days of summer on our newly furnished patio complete with plenty of seating for friends and family, shade from the cutest umbrellas, and even seating for the little ones! I’ve also linked our umbrellas and kid’s set below if you want to shop them yourself!
Our Next Fixer Upper: Boutique Hotel + Distillery
SURPRISE- we've got a new fixer upper project: A BOUTIQUE HOTEL + DISTILLERY! Alex and I along with our friend + business partner, Jarrod Williams , are excited to be working to bring another fun project to downtown Versailles! We are finishing fundraising now and still have a lot to do to make this a reality, but we have great support and are excited to make this dream a reality for our investors, partners, and the town! The project will include a boutique hotel, distillery, and restaurant that will focus on providing the essential Kentucky experience to our guests and our local community. Just like with The Amsden and our home, I'll be taking you along every step of the way through the renovation and design process so you can see the transformation (and then come celebrate with us and see it in person when it opens)!
Lights, Camera, Amsden!
We are SO excited to announce that there will be a movie filming later this week inside the Amsden. The Stand In, a new romantic comedy, starring DREW BARRYMORE is going to be filming scenes around Versailles and at Wrigley Media in Lexington. Barrymore’s character in the moving owns a furniture shop and the mercantile space will be her shop in the movie! I seriously can’t believe that my little shop is going to be on the big screen and that Drew Barrymore will be inside it in just a few days!
The crew will be filming all around Versailles for scenes of the movie including private homes, farms, and some other businesses. I believe that they will be shooting outside the Ferrick Mason showroom directly across the street from us for the exterior shop scenes and all the interior shop scenes will be inside the mercantile.
