The situation

Full-time content creators wanted their dream home to work while they travel, doubling as a vacation rental, a content space and an event venue. The challenge was making a non-traditional vacation market pay.

What I did

I designed for two audiences at once, creators looking for a backdrop and groups traveling for special occasions. The acreage is the draw for events, so I carried the palette from inside to out. I chose a sofa pair bold enough to market on social and still comfortable for a group. The coffee station turned making coffee into something guests experience, and the ice cream stools and painted columns gave them something to photograph.

The result.
