The furniture saga part 3… hi I’m the problem it’s me. Did we have to tear apart every single bed and rebuild it, why yes. And by we, I mean my heros @cellarridgeconstruction! It was a long week, but we have almost every bed disassembled and reassembled in and each of the headboards are being fit to their unique spots. We have one fridge console that just won’t fit so my friends @makeshelter are working on a new custom piece. But it’s all coming together!!! Only 27 days left!!!

Furniture saga part 2… TLDL: yea! yea! yea! ugh. The boarder took a hot sec, we had to go through secondary inspection… its interesting story (ask me about it sometime) but no additional customs means we get reward ourselves with a fun lunch break and a view! Then *snap* my windshield wiper broke… again… but we happened to be passing Walmart 🙏🏻 I’m happy to report the rest of the ride was a solid 5/10 on the challenge scale, which is a mild win in my book! … stay tuned for part 3….

ITS REALLY HAPPENING! inn 1 month we’re throwing open our doors, raising a glass and celebrating the creation of the compass! Join us for a tour and toast on Friday Sept. 27th from 4-6pm! we’ll have amazing bites from @aleabakery.us and local wines (but of course feel free to bring a bottle to share or partake in ours or both!) RSVP via the link in bio!

The room furniture saga part 1… Ships, planes, trains and vans are not standing in the way of me and this furniture!!! We arrived @cfsolutions with a 20 FT uhaul and a wish (really fear) but low and behold it all fit 😅 (thank you cubic metrics, math and Tetris!) …time to hit the road for the 7++ hours back to the compass!

only 3 more weeks of renovation… are you as excited as I am?!? #compassmcminnville

i’m so in love with our custom vanities! the guys @makeshelter really created something spectacular! they made 7… yes 7 custom vanities in 5 weeks. freakin heroes! can’t wait to unveil the fully outfitted bathrooms in just a few more weeks 🙃

just a couple of wine country girls having fun on a friday night! “im gonna do a mosaic backsplash… what like it’s hard?” checks out it’s fairly easy and lots of fun! thanks @shelbyren for the assist and @elkcove + @ricochetwine for the fuel!

paint week part 2! im super jazzed and love 85% of it - we’re going to make some decisions about the red… what’s your favorite???

Paint week part 1! We’re officially 1 month out from the end of construction and that means it’s paint week!!! Join me on a quick walk of the property as they start on paint and all the interior paint should be done later this week eeek 🤗

a little lighting adventure @rejuvenation found the perfect little pretty one for the guest room 🤍 have you booked your stay for harvest yet?! DM for 15% off!

We’re on our way to walkways! The guys work so hard to get everything poured and pretty before it set and for most part it looks amazing! There’s a few spot that the sun won that have to be redone - I feel so bad for them, they weren’t happy… I know it doesn’t look it but construction will be done in less than 2 months then the fun begins! Book today for harvest, link in bio - DM me for a my advinture friend code to get 15% off!

wine pong, Jell-O shots and fantastic wine - what else would you expect from @artistblockwine grand opening of thier new wine bar 🤍 check out thier newest spot in Newberg, where you can get wines from not only artist block but other rad producers like @ricochetwine @liskawineco and more!

it’s live!!! we’re officially opening in October and accepting bookings today on our newly launched site! we have been working tirelessly to makeover our cute craftsman home into a modern, sustainability-focused inn. you wont want to miss the epic events we’re busy curating for our first guests, like private tastings with awesome indie wine makers, curated harvest tours and much more! can’t wait to see you all this fall 🥂

I don’t just like it, I love it! MDW was filled with a little fun and a lot of work. So proud of the progress (and so wildly sore). Who wants to sit in front of this new beauty with a glass of wine this fall 🙋🏻‍♀️ #winecountry #boutiquehotel #hotelrenovation

@indiewinemixer is always a good time! Its literally my favorite wine country event, great wines and even better people! If you didn’t make it out this weekend, be sure to mark your calendars for next year (and maybe book your stay at the newest inn in McMinnville) Did you spy some of the compass coasters promoting the booking site going live next week?!

Tile, doors and floors! Almost all the bathrooms are prepped for tile and some have the main tiles installed. We’ve got doors and hardware in that I’m obsessed with! And the floor is here!! Can’t wait to see everything going in next week (PS… we’re officially caught up with reality guys!) #boutiquehotel #hotelrenovation #winecountryinn #visitmcminnvlle

Bathrooms are gonna be a big deal at the inn, so of course I had to go sit, lay and stand on all the things @fergusonshowrooms Can’t wait to show you guys the finished suites! #bathroomrenovation #bathtubs #innrenovation #winecountry

Paint primer party! @cellarridgeconstruction doing the hard work of priming all the dry wall that went up the last 2 weeks! It’s looking so great! #innrenovation #boutiquehotel #visitmcminnvlle #womenrenovating #winecountry #willamettevalley

When you decide mid-way through demo that there’s gotta be a kitchenette, oh and we should just do the full kitchen too… Might as well have fun with colors and counters! Obviously I brought the floor sample along for the ride.

The landscape - Before! When I bought the property the landscaping was completely overgrown and did not have a great flow. There were some really amazing trees but for the most part everything was old and not well cared for. Plus a lot of it was damaging the roof - ugh! So they had to go. #advintures #wineadventures #rennovation #hotelmakeover #weekendgetaway #boutiquehotel #willamette #visitoregon #visitmcminnville #bedandbreakfast #inn #compassmcminnville #naturallandscape

Finding this property 2 weeks after moving to the PNW meant I had no time to figure out the business details - so I personally financed her as an investment property and then got to work figuring out the rest… 12 months, 2 LLCs, 20+ hours of plan revisions, 2 committee hearings and 1 very intense SBA loan process later and we’re literally in business 🥂 * * * #advintures #wineadventures #rennovation #hotelmakeover #weekendgetaway #boutiquehotel #willamette #visitoregon #visitmcminnville #bedandbreakfast #inn #compassmcminnville #sbalending #realeatate #femalfounder #solobusiness #bossbabe

Permit Approval Day! The hearing for my Bed & Breakfast permit was one of the most stressful days in the last year, and in this process to create The Compass McMInnville. It took months of planning and prep but it was all worth it to hear “Unanimously Approved” at the end. There wasn’t a dry eye among us. Even Carson the owner of my fabulous construction company caved! This city is incredibly welcoming to new small businesses and I’m proud to be one of them. * * * #advintures #wineadventures #rennovation #hotelmakeover #weekendgetaway #boutiquehotel #willamette #visitoregon #visitmcminnville #bedandbreakfast #inn #compassmcminnville

11.18.22 / 11.17.23 I moved to OR in Nov 2022 to pursue the dream of owning my own chain of boutique inns. But I couldn’t quite believe I found the property (or it found me) within two weeks of the move - after a year of searching remotely. That was the only time things went faster than expected! Fast forward a year exactly to finally closing on the business loan. Now we can officially say this advinture is underway! * * * #advintures #wineadventures #rennovation #hotelmakeover #weekendgetaway #boutiquehotel #willamette #visitoregon #visitmcminnville #bedandbreakfast #inn #compassmcminnville
