The start of our Vacation Rental






I recently decorated this home with comfort and budget in mind! I was fortunate enough to have a ton of built in character, it just needed the finishing touches to make it the perfect home away from home. We currently have it listed on Airbnb and VRBO as the perfect place to choose for a vacation to the Pacific Northwest. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out! This is definitely one of my favorite projects!



The first detail is the Aqua front door and cottage curb appeal. This area of Washington is thriving with craftsman homes that were built in the early 1900's and still hold a lot of their original charm.


 



The color of the front door is Aqua Smoke by Behr. I use it all the time, because when you find a color you love, you stick with it! 
 




The comfortable front entry has original hardwoods and is spacious and open. Don't you love that mirror!! 

I decided to go with a sofa with chaise (and a hidden queen sleeper) and the rocking recliner to maximize the seating area and still keep it open for entertaining. 


 The area rug is incredibly soft and plush and adds the perfect amount of cozy to the living room. I also decided to hang the curtains on invisible rods (tutorial soon!) to avoid nailing anything into the plaster walls, I also didn't want to take away from the trim with a rod going across the front.

 The dining room was designed to seat as many as possible in this space and I love the two upholstered end chairs with nail head detail and the white chairs to add character and to mix it up a bit! More invisible curtain rods in this room, the perfect sign and the perfect rug. This amazing credenza came from a farm in Tennessee and was made in the early 1900's. It was the perfect piece for this house. I added new pulls for a little flair.


 The blue throw pillows tie together with the navy rug in the dining room and also coordinate with the light yellow, almost beige walls.



 This is one of the main level bedrooms and I love it! So incredibly cozy. I wanted to keep everything light, bright and crisp. The rug has a metallic tread detail and it goes perfectly with the wood on the accent mirrors. 





This craftsman kitchen has the original cabinets, vent detail below the sink, open shelving and it makes me so happy! I wanted it to feel vintage, I love how the red and turquoise came together. I had a lot of fun painting the letters for the EAT sign and my favorite part is the old red scale.  



The Orb crystal chandelier adds the perfect amount of detail. 


This is another one of the main floor bedrooms. It also has a crisp, clean King size bed. I think that white linens look the best and keep it light and bright. This room has a hint of yellow as accents 




Thank you for checking out my newest project and if your planning a trip to Washington, I have the perfect place for you to stay!
