Start of the bathroom

It isn’t often a bathroom is truly themed to match the other rooms in a hotel but the three bathrooms of Hazelnut Inn will be beautiful exceptions.

Each section needs to be rigid and light but still strong enough to carry thousands of pounds of sculpted concrete. Kieth and Neil worked hard this week to finish the first piece. On Monday we move on to the second frame. Stay tuned…
