    Stroll down memory lane to an era held together as are all eras, by certain
    accepted values and beliefs, a certain widespread code of behavior.

     

    St. Augustine romantic inn, Alexander Homestead Bed & Breakfast, pays tribute to America's Golden Age, the Victorian years. This era was one of contrasts and contradictions, asking that the passionate and the proper, the sensual and the sentimental exist side by side.

    Mixing family heirlooms with a treasured collection of St. Augustine antique furnishings, Bonnie's flair for decorating and homemaking are evident. Her St. Augustine bed and breakfast home has its own secret life that beautifully combines the "passionate and the proper, the sensual and the sentimental."

    An early morning coffee service awaits at 8:15 am outside the bedroom doors. By 9, breakfast is served in the formal dining room. "Everything I prepare is first class. . . eggs from the chicken farm, fruits from the fresh market, my homemade granola and endless entrees, like Country French apple casserole, green chili egg puff over tostados or warm homemade almond syrup drizzled over French Toast."

    Picture a rich parlor, bursting with romantic detail. Walls, covered with a sensual dark color, its gilding lit by a flickering mellow light. Now, actually step into that parlor to hear the crackling fire, the glasses clinking, people talking. As you enter the formal dining room you feel the warmth from the visual impact. Silver, china and crystal elegantly displayed on the handsome sideboard reaffirm the richness of a dignified hospitality.
