Inspirational Design : Tallman Hotel

I've always been inspired by design-focused individuals and businesses using eco-friendly materials and practices. We, at Bae, have a similar principle in mind.

I recently stumbled upon a great hotel, an oasis of higher-end design, in the midst of Clearlake, north of Napa Valley. I was eating lunch with a good friend and decided to take a peek and see the rest of the property. I was pleasantly surprised for such a remote "destination". I came to find out they completely renovated this property that had been vacant nearly 40 years.

These images don't do it justice, but I wanted to share the treasure I've found in an ever-growing tourist destination. (You should see the press on this hotel!)
