SPRUCE UP YOU SUMMER RENTAL

We all know how important curb appeal is- so let me suggest that you start with the outside—add your aesthetic touch before you even enter the front door. Invest in clean-looking terracotta, wood, or concrete planters and artfully fill them with colored flowers and plants that inspire you this season. They can be architectural–like boxwood–or even wildly bohemian. Anything goes as long as it adds visual excitement.

Lifestyle Two effective and timeless strategies– match the look and feel of the house’s exterior or do exactly the opposite– juxtapose it. Whether spending weeks or months here–surrounding yourself with visual reminders of things that make you happy is both emotionally satisfying and tremendously comforting.

Don’t be afraid to add your “eye” to the inside too–curate bedside books for your guests to enjoy before nodding off, place your favorite beachy scented candles in the bathroom, even stack coffee table tomes of artists, architecture, and favorite vacation spots within reach for browsing.

A recent lovely gesture a great hostess I know made while I was staying at her rental was placing a gorgeous vase in my bedroom filled with freshly-cut flowers from the house’s garden.

The point is simple: infuse your personal taste throughout and get rid of any stark, generic touches. Stock up on creature comforts like favorite summer wines or special snacks only available in the area.

Settle in and enjoy!!!
