Small APARTMENT MAKEOVER 2024 :: Budget AirBnB Transformation

Okayyyy… let me know all your thoughts?! Love it, hate it… would you have done something differently? I’ll pass along any ideas or thoughts to my Mom, as she finishes preparing this cozy studio apartment for an Airbnb! Love yall!!

Having recently returned from a trip where we stayed in a couple of air bnbs, one host had small square power “strips” on each bedside table. Each square had a couple of plugs and a couple usb ports so it was super easy to plug in our electronics to charge overnight. Little touches like that make all the difference in customer satisfaction.

Your mom is really fortunate to have two talented, hardworking kids to do this work for her!

One of my favorite things: that you speak in a Normal cadence instead of that crazy social media voice everyone adopts. Your natural voice is soothing and great job btw!

You and your Brother will be forever blessed for the way that y'all honor your Mother! 💜

As a designer, I was impressed how you made the entire space feel much bigger than it is. Defining zones really accomplished that! It's much more user-friendly too. Great job!

I love that tub faucet!! It's like hanging up an old time phone 🙂

I didn't see a mattress protector, but I'd definitely add one. Everything looks phenomenal!!

A linen curtain that goes to the ceiling that can close off the bedroom area if so desired or pulled to the side when not in use

Such a beautiful room and place to stay. Great vision for a small awkward space! The only thing I would add is some hangers for dress clothes, in the "closet " area.

I love it! So sweet and cozy. Light and airy, too. I would pull that bed out those few inches and use the full length curtains. It adds so much ambiance with the filtered light it provides. (Plus those cheap shades need to go!) You could also add a multi-functional, circular, padded ottoman between the two chairs to add a useable surface for foot propping, extra seat, playing board games, and even as an extra surface for dining (if it has a reversible hard surface to use as additional table space. Or use a large, flat circular tray for mealtime.)

A little teak stool for the tub would be nice,also a handy place a phone Jack/charger. Love everything else you did too!

I love those “extra touches” in short term rentals! Extra thought goes a long way, feels inviting, like you’re wanted there, and makes it feels like home.

I really love how it turned out. It feels cozy. You do a great job with a tiny budget. The only things I would change would be take the basket out from under the desk and put it under the bathroom sink and tuck 2 little stools under the desk and it becomes multifunctional....a desk and eating space. I would also switch the garbage can under the bathroom sink for something more aesthetic. However they are minor things. I enjoy watching your makeovers

Your brother is very skilled. He should have his own Utube channel. The apartment is beautiful!

That bathtub faucet- best thing ever!

Am so impressed with this apartment makeover...its so inviting and cosy without being over crowded and fussy. Fabulous space. ♡

Nice! The curtains would look nicer hung with black curtain rings and would hang to the floor like they should and complete that floor to ceiling length. I would also push the microwave over in front of the outlet to cover the cords or better yet install an outlet inside a cabinet and move the microwave there. You have a lot of storage! Probably more than a short term renter would need but nice to provide! Love that tub faucet!

It’s cozy, light and airy! Well done. It is nice to see family members working together. Mum should be very proud!

Excellent work. You are so blessed having your family members working with you. Sure pleases me to see a younger person repurposing rather than buying new stuff. So good on you and yours.✌️🐣💕
