The Matryoshka Doll

We are having a lot of fun as we build the scale model of the Hazelnut Inn. The North Star suite's garden walls are starting to take shape. It actually has two walls nestled inside one another. The first (lower) wall gives a hint of the theme work found throughout the Inn. Tucked behind this wall is a garden pathway. Guests will spiral their way around the front of the property up to the garden proper. A second inner (and higher) wall shields this private garden from prying eyes.

The North Star's story is about an explorer who travelled the world. Mementos from her travels (like the stone elephant head built into the wall) will be displayed throughout the garden and inside the suite.
