This floorcloth was commissioned as part of a makeover of The Homestead Room at the Grafton Inn in Grafton, Vermont.  The Homestead Room is a lovely meeting and event space accommodating up to 50 people.  The Inn has been operating since 1801 and currently has 42 guest rooms and several event spaces.  It is located in the charming village of Grafton, Vermont, with a population of 650.  

For more information on the project see our post.

(Item # HH02. This pattern is priced at a rate of $55/SF. This floorcloth is over 9.5' wide and therefore requires special construction.  The price for this pattern in a width that exceeds 9.5' is $65/SF.)
