Background

For a little background, the Airbnb started off as my childhood home. Now that my parents are empty-nesters, they decided to downsize to a smaller house and move closer to the grandkids. And by close, I mean, they live right behind us now!

Instead of selling or doing a traditional lease, my husband and I thought it would be fun to convert the home into an Airbnb. We started off as property managers for my parents and then transitioned to owners.

It’s been an incredible journey renovating, furnishing, and decorating the home. The place looks very different than it did when I was a teenager! Nevertheless, it still feels just as inviting, and we hope you’ll enjoy it.

Decoration Inspiration

My baby brother got engaged right before we set up the rental, so I used his upcoming nuptials in addition to a little farmhouse style as inspiration for the decor. I call it, “farmhouse floral.” You’ll find rustic but elegant touches with lots of flowery details throughout.
