Jay contacted me last summer about a new house that he’d just finished. The builders were done and had moved on to another project, and the house sat completely empty… Waiting. When I posted an advert for my creative services on a local forum, Jay thought I might be just the person to help him realise his vision for the West Sussex based property – A luxury Airbnb.

For me this came as a wonderful opportunity to put almost all my skills to use in some way or other as I worked to bring together all the existing design features to create an appealing stay for future guests. It was a huge and diverse task to entirely furnish a four bedroom house and make it a fully functioning home, over the course of a few months I got to do the following…

  • Bought new furniture
  • Sourced many preloved items
  • Restored and refinished several pieces
  • Upholstered furniture
  • Made purpose built furniture
  • Assembled a lot of flat packed furniture
  • Chose all the bed linen and towels
  • Found plants
  • Chose crockery, cutlery, etc.
  • Created artwork
  • Liaised with the photographer
  • Chose local artists work as decoration
  • Hung mirrors, signage and artworks
  • Liaised with all the sellers
  • Coached the owner through the whole process
  • Sourced games and reading matter
  • Created an inventory
  • Created Listings with agents
  • Created the house manual and guest information
  • Set up protocols 
  • Trained changeover and cleaning staff
  • Decorated for the festive season
  • Launched social media accounts
  • And started designing the website
  • Ongoing marketing…

Working with Jay and his team to make this project happen was amazing. I loved every minute of it. If you would like to see the full gallery of images and learn more about the house, and maybe even book a stay, check out the Airbnb listing.

You are full of surprises!

We are blessed to meet you and get connected with your talent. We appreciate you for all that you do, the hard work and dedication you’ve put into creating this brand new Airbnb.
