The Creation… Steven & Sheena Gabbard

A lot of people often ask me, “so, what do you do at your new job?”  After careful thought and consideration I have decided to post a blog about “my job.”  : ) 

In some ways my job is kind of like “Finishing School” I have my high school diploma, a Bachelor of Science, in Hospitality and Management from the University of Kentucky, and now I am being primed and pruned in the field of hospitality at A Storybook Inn.  I’m not so sure what I am being prepared for but I am forced to interact with people from all walks of life, especially people who are affluent in society.  I learn more about entertaining, conversation, making a house a home, and hospitality with each passing day.  Who knows maybe I am being prepared to be a future First Lady : )   My days are filled with everything from cooking & baking, putting together floral arrangements, decorating, to creating marketing plans and promotions for the business.  Every day is a mixed bag full of opportunity, growth, and creativity.  Right now A Storybook Inn is venturing into a new chapter of its life.  We are currently in the design process for renovations and additions that will take place starting June of this year.  Once renovations are complete we will be equipped with additional luxury suites, a Spa, and a Banquet Hall/Meeting facility.  All of these changes are very exciting! 

Working at A Storybook Inn I am surrounded by beauty. The Inn itself dates back to the early mid 1800’s pre civil war.  This old house is full of character as people have lived out their own “stories” here.  When I first arrive to work each morning I am greeted by a friendly black standard poodle by the name of Nicholas.  Some of you have been privileged to meet him, I must admit he is a pretty cool dog.  The gardens here are beautiful, and the library is full of traditional literature and conservative books.  As A Storybook Inn develops, as does my job.  Once renovations are complete I can run full speed ahead as Special Events Coordinator.  I am also the personal assistant to the owner who is a devout Christian and savvy business woman. I am truly blessed to have a job which allows me to grow spiritually, mentally, and creatively. Stay tuned for updates about my job, A Storybook Inn, and some great recipes from our kitchen!
