Four months to go!

Each workday, the hard-working crew brings the Copper Crown Suite of the Hazelnut Inn a little closer to completion. The tilework is now almost down to the bottom of the stairs. Tomorrow, they will do a deep cleaning of the upstairs areas and then move the boxes and tools up there to prepare for the tile work on the main level. Suddenly, with the construction clutter gone, visitors who come for a sneak peek will be able to see the grandeur of this amazing room with its towering ceilings and enchanted decor. In just over four months, this suite will be ready for its debut at the Grand Opening and Open House. Stay tuned for the official announcement and hundred-day countdown…

More colourful every day

The kitchenette-dining nook area of the Copper Crown Suite of the Hazelnut Inn is quickly coming together as Jay lays on the colour and glazes. The shields are almost done as is the wall area behind them. Later this week Matt will begin the tile work through the lower floor. It is exiting to see this long held dream slowly come to life. Stay tuned…

Coming down the stairs

With the upstairs tile now all in place in the Copper Crown’s bedroom and upper hallway, Matt has begun working his way down the stairs. Like the bedroom, there will be small rectangular border tiles on each side with ‘wood’ tiles in between. He cut, fitted, and glued in the border tiles, and then cut and fitted the larger tiles in between. Whenever Matt is waiting for tiles to set, he keeps himself busy cutting the tiles for the main floor borders. In a couple of weeks, we’ll be dancing on the finished floor. Stay tuned…
