Hi @Kirstie, hi all,
amazing to see all the comments and realisations. Thanks Kristie launching this topic.
Yes, me too - I commit, I'm a freak when it comes to furniture, little space, functionality and "feeling home and on a holiday" all at the same time - can you feel it crossing the doorstep? Yes? Well, then furniture and light does a lot creating the atmosphere.
Nothing in our house is bought all together - each furniture has been chosen over the last years piece by piece. Only the kitchen doors are built out of the same "industrialised" wood, but the whole doesn't really exist in a catalogue. As we hate thinking "work" when being home, even the kitchen corner needs to feel like a coffee bar, but not like a kitchen. Machines are hidden behind a handy metallic shutter and the dish washer is "unvisible".
The living room is a mix of old, retreated (former bread armoire) or smoked wood (floor) and the design and fabric colors totally out of fashion, but pretty close to local, traditional colours you find in black forest nature.
And the bathroom...simply typical German from the 80's. How many times did I want to modernise, but it doesn't always have to be "new" all the time, to feel good and like being somewhere else in space and time.
As soon as you see a smile on your guests faces - the job is done 🙂 .
Enjoy travelling with airbnb!
Viele Grüsse,
Claudia
