2 working parents, 2 young children, 2 houses and 2 weeks to move from Ballard to Snohomish County. Life is busy! When I met Giselle and Ritchie, their household reflected their busy life. They just closed on a house in Snohomish and wanted to rent out their Ballard townhouse. They only had 2 weeks to get their place ready for vacation rental season. I knew I needed to have a tight strategy and we needed all hands on deck.
Oh Boy! did Giselle and Ritchie hustle! Hard work pays off! A can do attitude and the hustle to get the place ready for photos was not an easy task but it was worth it! My client Giselle said 'Our house never looked this good even while we were living in it'. Less than 24 hours of going live with their Airbnb listing, Giselle and Ritchie booked their first reservation.
When starting on a space here are the 5 tips that I thought about when transforming Giselle and Ritchie's space.
1. Storage solutions: Every thing should have a home.
2. Creating a baseline of neutrals: Then add accessories for color pop and texture in order to keep on top of changes in trends
3. Consideration the low, mid and high eye level: Adding a tall floor lamp for high, art work hung at mid eye level and a sofa blanket or throw pillow for low.
4. Add in different textures: such as a woven blanket or rug, metal accessories or wall treatment
5. Put a plant on it: Add in plants for a more resorty feeling
