The North Star’s ensuite is looking pretty in pink just in time for Valentine’s Day. It’s actually a little shocking at the moment but this is just the first base coat. The final result will be a dark rich burgundy.
We’ve finished off the last of the tile in the main section of the nescessarium. The shower remains unfinished, (although not for long) but we are ready to begin painting the rest of the room. After the painting is done we’ll come back and finish the grout.
We began designing the Hazelnut Inn, eight years ago. Each of our three suites began as a whimsy that coalesced into its final design through a series of concept sketches. Two years later, we started construction. Now, six years after breaking ground, we are nearly ready to open our first suite — the North Star. This summer we will welcome our first guests. It has been a long road, and we aren’t finished yet, but we are so looking forward to sharing our dreams with our guests!
With the messy business of carved concrete behind us it’s time to move on to some softer details. We’ve started picking fabrics for the North Star’s various window curtains and other drapery.
Stay tuned for more fun soon!
I don’t know how often you read this blog. But, as you may know, “Our Story” is a record our our time building the Hazelnut Inn. It’s fairly comprehensive but it certainly doesn’t include every picture or video we’ve ever taken of the inn. In fact, there is another entire blog over at the Imagination Corporation that documents the inn’s progress from a slightly different angle (although there is a fair bit of overlap).
We also maintain (to varying degrees) accounts with several social media platforms. So you can find additional pictures and videos on Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter (or whatever it’s called these days) and LinkedIn.
For example, we have a smattering of recent videos on Instagram and TikTok.
We still have a little tile to finish up in the North Star’s ensuite, but we couldn’t resist tidying up the last of the plasterwork.
With all the sculpted concrete finished we are closing in on our opening date. We’ll be announcing our grand opening date very soon!
