Annie Crow Knoll: Moonrise 5th Anniversary! Inspiration #3

August 13, 2021 by Gail Filed Under: Blog, Uncategorized Leave a Comment

In today’s anniversary blog, I’d like to share the inspirational pictures I collected for Moon Harbor Inn, Nate and June’s restaurant and inn from Annie Crow Knoll: Moonrise. You’ll remember that at the end of Annie Crow Knoll: Sunset, the young couple purchased the inn with plans to convert the old barn into Nate’s restaurant. Moonrise begins about twenty years later. A lot has happened in those years, and I selected several pictures to help me imagine the inn and restaurant where Nate and June live, run their businesses, and raise their daughters Breezy and Jemma.

The Inn at Osprey Point in Rock Hall, Maryland was my inspiration for Nate and June’s Moon Harbor Inn in Annie Crow Knoll: Moonrise.
I put an old barn on the property that Nate converts into his family’s home upstairs and his restaurant downstairs.
I wanted Nate’s restaurant to have rustic elegance with lot of glass for views of Moon Harbor.
The Pavilion at Rat’s Restaurant, Grounds for Sculpture, NJ inspired the design for the wedding pagoda June is having built at Moon Harbor Inn in Annie Crow Knoll: Moonrise.
This is the interior of the Pavilion at Rat’s Restaurant. I thought it was the perfect design concept for June’s pagoda at Moon Harbor Inn. This includes the large, rustic chandelier hanging above. I knew the character of Atticus was a blacksmith artisan, and when the pagoda idea came to me, I realized June would commission him to build the chandelier.
