Final Touches: This project was a true labor of love, crafted by a dedicated team. Once all the renovations were finished, the majority of the furniture, window treatments, and area rugs were in place. I was invited to join the team, to contribute to the finishing touches of the home.
The homeowners were experiencing project fatigue. They felt overwhelmed in creating a clear vision and path to complete the Airbnb. The Airbnb needed to be photo ready in short amount of time.
In addition to enhancing the home with new details, I also integrated much of the homeowners' decor and artwork. I enjoy the challenge of blending elements to create a welcoming atmosphere that is ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
Along with adding fresh details to the home, I organized the home to ensure the best experience for guests. During the organization process, I also focused on enhancing the workflow for the Airbnb host and the cleaners alike.
The template of this home to was exceptionally aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable to work with. Each day brought new challenges and learning opportunities, which only fueled my enthusiasm. I will forever be grateful for the inspiration this project ignited within me, especially since it was my very first experience in decorating for someone else.

"Amanda worked wonders on our investment property by skillfully transforming a decades-old house into a stunning home. She filled it with beautifully styled furniture, modern amenities and high-quality finishes. The stress and headaches she saved us from are immeasurable. We couldn't be happier with the results and are incredibly grateful for her help."
The house was beautiful. Well decorated and clean. Enjoyed the lake views and city view of Toronto too!
All the beds and furniture were of good quality and comfortable. There were also plenty of seating in the common areas, inside and out.
Although it was a little hard to find, especially in the dark, the location was convenient to Niagara Falls, both US and Canada sides.
We really enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful home!
We rented this location for week as a last family vacation before our oldest kids left for college & the military. The home was beautifully curated and had all the creature comforts. It had all the necessary kitchen appliances utensils and plenty of extra towels and linens if needed. Overall we had a lovely stay & give it five stars. The home is absolutely beautiful and well done.
This property was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this property which also has a beautiful view of Lake Ontario. Hosts were great, responsive and their attention to detail inside the home was amazing. The property has everything a traveler/family needs for short or long stays. Quick ride to the Niagara Falls NY area and cute town of Lewiston. Would definitely stay there again!
Final Touches: As I stepped into the home for the first walkthrough, it was still under construction. Initially, I didn't have a great impression of the place. However, it ultimately revealed itself to be truly an adorable cozy home I now adore.
This home had a lot going on for several months, along with bunch of stuff throughout the home that made it hard for me to visualize the space. Although there was potential hidden beneath the layers of dust and unfinished surfaces, the most important step I took was taking stuff out of the home. As the stuff cleared out, it slowly started to transform the space and become a blank canvas.
The two pivotal moments were when the house was painted all white and the backsplash went in. Both gave the home a clean, modern and fresh update.
When I hire movers, we shifted things out of the home and brought in four new pieces. The layout was originally a little tricky in the living room. But once I spent an extended amount of time in the home and took in the lake view from the living room. I instantly saw the vision of the space. It was as if the room opened up, revealing its true potential. I arranged the furniture to highlight that serene view, turning the living room into a cozy retreat where anyone could unwind and enjoy the tranquil scenery.
As the project progressed, each room began to tell its own story, with unique touches that reflected the personality of the home. The kitchen, with its new backsplash, became a focal point for gatherings, while the bedrooms were transformed into serene sanctuaries with calming colors and cozy textiles.
By the time we finished, the house was no longer just a structure; it was a home filled with warmth, character, and a sense of belonging. Watching the transformation unfold reminded me of the power of thoughtful design and how it can enhance the everyday lives of those who live in the space.
Hope you enjoy the details of this 5 star Airbnb and consider booking if you are in the area.

Final Touches: The dream design project that took me to Hilton Head and how it changed everything.
The day after Christmas last year, I jumped on a plane and I had no clue how much this one trip would change me in five days.
Literally, it did in so many ways. Having the opportunity to stay in the home while decorating and contributing to project refreshes, was my most favorite transformation.
I remember calling the homeowners with so much excitement, calling it “Full Immersion Designing”.
My creativity was through the roof. I had limited time. I had to tackle learning the area, shopping and styling the home.
Waking up in the home, observing its daily rhythms, and having the freedom to work whenever I choose—including many late nights—has been an enriching experience.
The local shops became my treasure troves, filled with unique pieces that perfectly reflected the charm of Hilton Head. From vibrant artwork to cozy textiles, every item was selected to enhance the home's natural beauty and create a cohesive, inviting atmosphere.
As I worked, I found myself drawing inspiration from the stunning coastal views and the serene ambiance of the island. This project was not just about decorating a space; it was about capturing the essence of a place and translating it into a living experience.
By the time I left in June (after taking six trips to the home), I felt a deep connection to the home and its surroundings. It was more than just a design project; it was a journey of growth, creativity, and newfound confidence. This experience taught me the power of embracing challenges and trusting my instincts.
Looking back, I am grateful for the opportunity to immerse myself in such a transformative project. It reminded me that stepping out of my comfort zone often leads to the most rewarding and memorable experiences. Hilton Head will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the catalyst for my evolution as a designer.
Even though this home sold in June 2024, it also will forever be in my heart. I highly recommend if you are traveling with a large group to Hilton Head, consider staying in this beauty ~You won't be disappointed!
