The North Star sports a pair of chimneys and the other day we test fitted the larger chimney’s steel cap. I am looking forward to the spring when we can start the brickwork!
The weather has turn brisk here in the Pacific Northwest so we have moved indoors and are working on a few detail pieces. The Copper Crown’s highest peak needs something special and we have and a draconic weather vane seems the natural choice.
You may notice that our dragon pays homage to the famous dragon lantern at Bree - we just couldn’t resist!
This week we are being featured on Jon Albano’s Lodging Leaders Podcast! It was great to chat with Jon about the Hazelnut Inn and everything else the Imagination Corporation.
You can listen to the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play or TuneIn.
It is very exciting to be applying the first of the paint to the interior surfaces of the Hazelnut Inn. The warm base colours will be followed by some subtle glazes to make everything pop and enhance the ‘woodwork’. These arched beams and plasterwork will be viewed by guests laying on the king sized bed. The domed ceiling will be more than twenty feet above them and much of this space will be filled by a giant crystal chandelier. Stay tuned for more progress…
The North Star’s weather vane is nearly complete!
Some of you may recognize the Imagination Corporation’s ‘ship & moon’ logo; we don’t often get a chance to sign our work, but since the Hazelnut Inn is a personal project, we thought we would take the opportunity.
In addition to separate showers, all of our suites include Japanese style soaker tubs. In keeping with its nautical theme, the North Star’s tub will feature a large stone surround with a giant bas-relief octopus. It should be quite spectacular!
