I'm an enthusiastic interiors buff and renovating my house has been a long-term labour of love and, I realise now, will always be an ongoing project. I'd therefore be really interested to hear from other hosts who have renovated their Airbnb properties and see before and after pics if you have them, or just hosts who have plans and ideas for future projects.
To start it off, here is one of the guest rooms in my house, BEFORE:
and AFTER:
I still haven't finished tweaking this room yet (the painted wardrobes for example), so there may be updates to come.
Please share your projects and plans!
Thank you @Kati18. I did most of the renovation of this room straight off, but have since tweaked it and continue changing it, so it was never an overnight thing. Just last week, I moved the trunk in the corner to another spot in the house to accommodate a lovely dressing table set I just bought. I'm afraid I'm a bit addicted to changing my place around.
this would make a great video series
I would watch it on youtube.
Absolutely lovely. You have exquisite taste!
Wow what a beautiful room. I'm sure your guests are just 'blown away'.
@Huma0 - so beautiful. A lovely job!
We've renonvated several homes in our past and we know the kind of labor of love that goes into restoring a location. Bully for you for putting in the time and effort - it's really paid off.
Thanks @Alice-and-Jeff0. I always thought your place looks lovely (and much more finished than mine!) and you have done such a nice job with the front garden too. Do you have any 'before' pictures? Was it a big renovation job?
Also, @Alice-and-Jeff0 I saw your post about paint colours on another thread. Any ideas for my bathroom (see pics in post below)?
It might seem a bit radical, but I'm toying with the idea of a deep green. I love the combination of this with pink, so think it might work with the pink mirror. Not so neutral for sure, but I'm feeling brave!
there's a dark green bathroom in the movie Conspiracy
Dark green and gold is very ROYAL!! try it...
@Huma0 - It would depend on what your intention is with the bathroom itself. If you want to put on makeup and do your hair in there, dark green is a bad idea since it will make you appear sallow and unwell. It won't be a pleasant experience and you will have to have some bright light fixtures. Now if it's a powder room, some place for a person to pop in and wash their hands, go for it! It would be dramatic and charming. A bath that you want to "get ready" in should have a softer color and preferably not in a grey tone like blue, teal, or beige. All of those reflect off the mirror right only your face which will only amplify dark circles under your eyes or red patches. Now, that's not to say you shouldn't use color, so going with the Pink/Green theme, go with a pink and put prints of green, green accepts, fluffy green towels.... imo, that would be beautiful!
Thanks @Alice-and-Jeff0. Based on your advice, I think I'm going to skip the dark green in this room as it's the main bathroom, not a powder room. I remember hearing somewhere that green was a really bad colour for dining rooms, but I guess it applies to bathrooms for the same reason!
At the moment, it's grey, which seems to work well because there is plenty of natural light, but you're right, it does feel a bit cold.
@Huma0 - If you are planning to repaint the bathroom you posted pictures of, if you want a green, go take a look at SW Glimmer, SW Spinach White, or SW Queen Anne's Lace as suggestions.
Thanks @Alice-and-Jeff0. I don't think we get that brand here, but I am sure there are equivalent colours from other brands. I tend to use Litte Greene. It's so expensive, but the quality and finish is just lovely.
