The Copper Crown Suite is rapidly coming together and is breathtaking in every way possible. The rooms are difficult to capture in a photo as they are very tall. Where else would you need a twenty-four-foot-tall extension ladder to install a chandelier over the king-sized bed? Below the floor tile is being laid. Downstairs, the painting is proceeding at full speed. The suite is a very busy place that will soon welcome the first guests. Stay tuned…
Signs mounted to plinth
With the center plinth now fully painted, today was the day for the permanent mounting of the sign faces. We gingerly hoisted them into position using the forklift and then bolted them securely in place to the brackets we had built into the structure of the plinth. They looked great! Then Jay started on the blend coat of paint on the planter surrounding it. Tomorrow he’ll do one last coat of blend to ready the stonework for the final two glazes. By week’s end, this section of the sign will be complete. Stay tuned…
Golden castle
There was a spectacular sunset this evening, and when I looked up from my drawing, I saw the warm glow out the window. I wasted no time getting over to the Hazelnut Inn to grab a few pictures as the colour faded rapidly. The beautiful light made the Copper Crown even more magical than usual. It won’t be long until guests will be able to enjoy this enchanted suite.
