Nestled in the heart of New Hampshire, this short-term rental was a total transformation — from bare studs to stunning sanctuary. The goal? To stand out in a sea of rentals and feel like a true haven for the guests who walk through the door.

We worked closely with the homeowner to craft a design that not only looked good but worked smart. Instead of designing for just anyone, we focused on the right guests—the kind who leave glowing five-star reviews and come back for more. Through some thoughtful research, we discovered the ideal visitors: active families (furry friends included!) looking for a cozy, calming home base after their outdoor adventures in the area.

We got to work creating a space that feels modern, serene, and oh-so-inviting. Think earth-toned color palettes, natural textures, raw-edge wood furniture, and just the right amount of stone and greenery to bring the outdoors in. Everything — from the stain-proof fabrics to the high-performance upholstery — was chosen with real-life (and real fun) in mind, so guests can relax without worry.
