It is cloudy and rainy at the beach today - and I am especially grateful for a cozy bed as I fight early signs of a cold/sinus infection. Going for naps today!

Our favorite coastal bedding never goes out of style. For our STRs, always 100% cotton sheets and light weight, cotton blankets and quilts for layering.

After a whole month of travel these 3 bags and all my new travel gadgets have been a game changer and have taken the stress out of air travel. I mean it! I don’t like airport travel because it has always been so stressful - I now know it is because I wasn’t prepared. These 3 bags get through TSA, fit under the plane seats, NO checked bags, holds stuff for a trip for over a week, and has so many compartments and smart features! I might want to travel again…

I rey to only put up things that I absolutely love because buying things just to buy things isn’t our style. But this stuff is amazing, it is thick, moisturizing, sunscreen, smells delicious. On super clearance right now.!!

We replaced the fire table with this outdoor cocktail/coffee table, and I could not love it more. It’s nice and big for games or appetizers, but small enough to still give plenty of space all around it! I bought this cover to keep it protected from the sun and rain when we are not using it and it fits perfectly!

We are doing a lot of travel for the kids’ sports this summer and these are my go to travel pants for a comfy travel outfit. It is the moisture wicking athletic fabric, but so light and flowy!

Love a layered placement to make our rentals feel like home! This is in our coastal home on Topsail Island!

I’m traveling for the next 30 days and only home for about three days of them, so I’m excited to upgrade my gear to make life a little easier. This luggage has it All, a zip compartment in the front for your laptop, USB, and mic. Rosseu, charging ports on the outside, cupholder, phone holder, TSA lock, 360° spin wheels, and carry-on size so you don’t have to check your bag ! this weekend we bag can hold anything that I can’t stuff into that luggage and ride on top of the suitcase for an easy trip through the Airport. TEAM no checked bag fees!

Also, including staples that I pack on every trip that our lifesaver, and bring some of the comfort from home.

Welcoming 2026 with no more white doors, ceiling, and trim! Coordinate your door, ceiling, and trim color with your wall color and you will add fresh and modern, yet classic and vintage character to your space.
Isn’t she lovely?! 🖤

thank you @trianglepaintinganddrywall - the best, hands down!

Very excited about these lacrosse PK bathrobes for both short-term rental properties. When you’re traveling, what is better than taking a hot shower and getting in a bathrobe? grab these while they’re still on sale.

Spending the next 4 weeks traveling and this is the best travel companion!! Bring your computer charger to charge this device, and have this 3-in-1 charger charge your Apple watch, lighting, and all your micro-C compatible devices.

Stocking up the guest powder rooms with must haves, so friends and family don’t have to ask for the things they wish they brought!

This nautical clock is just one of the many accessories we put in our N. Topsail Beach, NC rental property to create that elevated coastal vibe.

I promise you I’m not being dramatic when I say the *only* reason I make my bed in the morning is because the bedding is pretty And it makes me happy to see it all done up! 🤩

A full walk-through of the Bull & Bean bean cottage in Durham right before guests arrive on the biggest STR weekend of the year! Duke, UNC, and NC State all graduate on the same weekend. Not one Airbnb available…well mostly.

TIP: If you have a graduating college student book your lodging 6+ months if not a year in advance wherever they’re graduating!

Rental renovation season is coming to a close as reservations start rolling in for both properties, and we are sprinting down the finish line! Adding backsplashes, hanging new lights, touching up paint, and refreshing linens are just a few ways we can improve the quality and experience for new and returning guests! 🤍

I wish videos like these captured the true essence of tasks like this. Did I have to rip down half of a wall that I did because I didn’t do it correctly? Yes. But once it is done we forget all that happened!

#happyguesthappyhost

All 5 senses will be dialed in on vacation in a top-notch rental. You will see beautiful decor, touch soft and luxury linens, bath robes, and blankets, you will hear the sound of the waves , the birds, or even the quiet all around you, and you will smell the most light, refreshing, and cozy smells. That last one is one of the most powerful memory makers. You may forget the exact pattern of that pillow or quilt you loved, but you won't forget how that smell made you feel!

You will find these smells (and a lot of other great ones) in our bathrooms, and other cozy places in our rentals.

I just wanna say I have spent the last 14 years worrying about dinner. What am I gonna cook for dinner, what will the kids eat, what will my husband and the kids eat, it’s gotta be fresh ingredients it’s gotta be a new recipe it’s gotta be a new idea and it’s gotta be complicated. But you know what, I wish someone would’ve told me that I’d be standing here today knowing that when I serve them Beyond burgers and frozen sweet potato fries from the air fryer they are just as happy. Should we cook a home-cooked meal regularly yes, but in today’s world with families running with very little support, that’s just not realistic. Give yourself a break, serve the chicken nuggets and strawberries when you need to and keep it moving

This is our second primary suite at our Topsail Island Beach rental, happy shopping !

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

If we are being honest, I would rather be repotting my plants to make my porch spring ready then filing my business renewal filings with the North Carolina Secretary of State. So I’m going to repot today and be stressed out next week when I’m doing it the day before it’s due. Carpe diem!

This is our main third floor, living area deck at the Topsail Island rental - luxury furnishings, and plants come standard 🌱
Happy shopping! 🤍

A short term rental property needs to be beautiful, functional, comfortable, cozy, durable, durable, durable, affordable, and photograph well! Getting a designer to help will make all the difference in your rentability. This living room design has been a hit and has worn well with all the booked stays! This is our Durham, NC rental property living space - and we are still 😍 for it.

First installation of this project was a success, from design to delivery! Even though 1 chair had a minor issue, we swiftly swapped it out and kept it moving - a happy client makes a happy designer 🤍 A rug and new lighting will finish off this space as we press on!

A complete design of a cozy, daily-use family dining room! We know the heart of the home is the kitchen, so anytime we can create a space where family will linger in that heart is a win! A sofa for the kids to relax and have a snack, do homework, and even play cards has been the most favorite part about this design for the family. The rolling chairs have been comfortable and convenient. The Roman shades, wallpaper and painted trim soften the space and the sconce lighting brings the mood!

No space for a side table next to your couch? No problem. This brass articulating task lamp is just perfect, it doesn’t feel in the way or block the line of site to the other adjoining areas, but gives you a little bit of mood lighting, or something to read under!

A favorite coastal dining room design from our Topsail Beach rental! White, wood, blues, and organic materials give this space the coastal vibes. These pieces have held up well - over 5 years and 1 rental season they look as good as new.

PRO TIP: many showrooms are taking down Christmas and trying to move their floor model furniture out of the store to bring in fresh and new pieces for the NEW YEAR. Shop around at your local show rooms and ask if they’re selling any of their floor models. You can get a deep discount on a like new sofa!

This girl right here was just that! I sent him in to grab a fabric sample for a client and he left with a floor model sofa - LOVE it when THEY are the ones that get caught up!!

🥂 to a new year full of all things good and new! 🎉

We are never (never say never) going to choose a TV over a fireplace as a first option in a design. So many reasons. However, sometimes you just can’t avoid it. The layout, the wall space, windows, walkways… these all determine where a TV can go. Sometimes you have a partner that refuses to let you put it anywhere else. 👀 So insert an art TV. It’s a little high to the eye, it’s a little mix of art and TV, but we are at least avoiding a big black hole in the design of the space.

RUN to Nordstrom for this price drop! It is Ugg, legging, and hoodie season! These mini ankle Uggs are a nice compromise between hard to get on calf height and cold ankles slipper height! And ARMY GREEN - yes please!

This red light mask is a staple at bedtime, especially when the kids have breakouts or hyperpigmentation. It has lasted over 3 years and keeps a charge well!

Ever shock yourself with a bright idea out of nowhere? I love this tablecloth, but it didn’t look right in our formal dining room for our holiday party next week. As I walked by our daybed on the porch, I thought what a great addition for the holidays! Covered the mattress with this tablecloth and instant Christmas!

Get creative with what you have around your house or not using something for its initial purpose!

We installed one of these smart loo+bidets in a recent luxury bathroom renovation design, and we couldn’t be more impressed by the intelligence of this loo! The owners were hesitant about spending about 2 to 3 times the cost of a regular toilet, but they reported back that it has proved its value x 10. They most appreciate the convenience and cleanliness the automations provide, and personal cleanliness from the bidet! It has been life-changing for them.

We will be adding this loo to the list of recommendations for future designs for sure!
