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!

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!

This bathroom renovation revolved around the vanities. The size, the color, the wood, the quality. The client wanted a vanity that felt like a piece of furniture, with legs and space underneath, and that warmed up the bathroom that was going to be cold feeling from the black/white checkered marble floors and white shower tile. This was the perfect piece!

….the days after Thanksgiving when you pull out all the boxes and reunite with your favorite decor. ♥️💚 It’s all in the details. The pillows, the blankets, the lights on the tree - all scream cozy, and time to shut in with the family for the holiday season.

♥️Pottery Barn switches out their patterns and colors, so if the exact one is not available, we have linked similar pillow covers to the ones in the video. The fur backed pillows 😍 Happy decorating!

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome

‘Tis the season! Happy decorating and enjoying all things Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah, Chinese New Year, and all holidays celebrated.

Love this Santa mug and how #potterybarn makes sure everyone is represented 🤍🤎🖤

✨ Modern Elegance Meets Coastal Charm ✨

Step into serenity with this interior design project in our Luxury by the Sea rental property. From the soft neutral palette to the layered textures and curated accents, every detail whispers luxury and warmth. Every top-notch design is bound to have some key elements to make the vision: maximized natural light, drapery, greenery, clean lines, warm & eye-level lighting (not to be confused with overhead lighting!), a balance of warm and cool fabrics and colors, mostly neutral tones with pops of coordinated, but not matching, color, and functional, but maybe more importantly, furniture with interest and beautiful lines.

One of our favorite luxury items to put in our short term rental properties is bathrobes. We continue to be amazed by just how much guests really love this amenity. And of course, now with the addition of the hot tub at the beach property, we have to have a bathrobe and towel warmer right ?! Only the best for our guests! 🤍 we also buy these for many of our loved ones as gifts during the holidays, look out for sales during the holiday season for your gift giving!

People ask us about these buttons ALL the time and don’t believe it until they see it. Eli is our third child in a zipped up fur coat 🤍 buttons and potty training bells at 🔗 in bio - these babies have a lot to say!

If we are going to take some design risks together, the powder room is a great place for it. We love a dynamic, bold wallpaper in a half bathroom!
