I believe that knowing the reason for people to stay in an AirBnB helps you provide a superior experience. For example, here in my city people are usually on business trips so it’s important that we have access to power points throughout the apartment. I also appreciate recommendations on take away and delivery restaurants nearby. 😬
I have owned several airbnb's in the past and I own one now. In the smallest space I had which was a little bit larger than a bedroom, I added a small fold down desk mounted on the wall so when not in use, it was flush against the wall. Also a must for people who are traveling is a folding luggage rack when there's no dresser to store clothing in and it doesn't take up very much space when not in use. I also left a little gift basket of goodies like some chocolates, a small bottle of wine, or tickets to a local attraction. Those little additions always got thank you's, rave reviews, even reciprocated gifts left for me by my guests, and the best part was often repeat business. I loved hosting the same guests again and they referred me to their friends and family so I got even more guests that way. The little things mean a lot.
It's beautiful Amanda! Don't forget a guestbook for all the guests to sign and leave wonderful comments in! Sometimes hosts will also include brochures or local maps for interesting places to visit while guests stay there. Something your mom might want to consider down the road is replacing the refrigerator with a much smaller one and creating a coffee bar above it, with a basket of complimentary snacks (like local baked goods, etc.).
@@stephm6573 The online platform is great for promoting the Airbnbs through reviews but for the owners and hosts, handwritten notes from guests during their stay is much more personal. I've watched the videos of a few different TH-camrs who visit and review all sorts of different Airbnb rentals and most of them have a guestbook along with a welcome basket of goodies for their guests to enjoy.
It looks amazing! One thing I love to have is a binder with recommendations and names of places to eat, nearby grocery store, laundromat,things to see and do, and a list of hiking trails. A small cooler makes taking a picnic lunch somewhere so much easier. Travel mugs and insulated water jugs are amazing to have. Also, having ziplock bags, plastic wrap, and aluminum foil is wonderful. A hairdryer is wonderful. Having a pad of paper and pens is super helpful too.
I second a binder of recommendations! I have stayed at rental places before and I wish I had that! I know with smart phones people have maps and directions but I would add that to the binder as well.
I would stay there because the first thing I look for is cleanliness. Great Super Hosts usually have a binder of suggestions on restaurants, shopping and things to do in the area. So helpful.
Coffee pod type coffee maker with pods, full length mirror, cork screw, scissors, simple pots and pans, cookie sheet, lots of toilet paper and towels. Throw blankets, pet bowls if you allow pets. Water filter love the makeover it’s going to be great! ❤
I would add basic sundries, like shampoo, soap, bandaid, peroxide the small things have for guests, sample sizes. Forgot to mention, Fresh flowers at check in.
I can’t believe the transformation of that apt. What a wonderful thing to do for your Mom. It looks amazing. I would like to have some emergency bathroom items like toothpaste, floss, little soaps, shampoo/conditioner. Salt & pepper, napkins, paper towels in the kitchen. Best of luck to your Mom in her airb&b!
Good call to paint higher, it really makes the room look taller. I’m glad you chose a slim-lined sofa, it’s a much better proportion for the room. The whole thing has come together beautifully. Well done, everyone. Little things like soap/body wash,; shampoo and conditioner; hairdryer are always appreciated in an Air BnB. They are certainly amenities I look for, they save me from having to pack them, especially when I’m coming from overseas and have weight restrictions.
Looks amazing! Some adds- Porta crib in the closet, salt and pepper, paper towels, water in the fridge, throw out any extra condiments that the previous guest might leave, cleaning supplies(just in case we have a spill). Broom, dust pan. Maybe a local treat or baked bread. Deck of cards.
I love EVERYTHING about this transformation!! The only suggestion I would say is putting marbled contact paper on the kitchen counters to match the island and tie it in even more!!
I love how it turned out. I love having a coffee station and a binder with area attractions, restaurants, important phone numbers, etc. I also love when there's a journal or book with a welcome message and an area for guests to leave notes and recommendations. One of my favorite air bnb had a chalkboard with a personalized message for us and a small basket of local treats (handmade soap, chocolates, and snacks).
Wow! Amanda it's gorgeous! Well done all of you & hugs for the anniversary of losing your Dad 😪 My sister ran her own Airbnb in the UK & was a superhost. What her visitors found invaluable was a folder of local information. This should include the WiFi password, local restaurants with phone numbers to make reservations, local takeaway places with phone numbers, local coffee shops etc. Also include pamphlets (if you can get them) of nearby places of interest such as museums, galleries, cinemas, theme parks, open farms & also dates of interest like Christmas fayres etc. Information on local small businesses such as bakeries, gift shops, craft stores (that sell their own crafts etc) is also good business for your community. A welcome letter with a basket containing fresh bread, maybe a bottle of wine, fresh milk in the fridge etc also helps if you aim to be a superhost. A visitors book is a nice touch as well. The very best of luck to your lovely mum with her new venture xx
I stayed in a b&b there was a bottle of wine in fridge with a nice note saying thank you for choosing us. I love the creativity with the black and white paint. Accent wall in lr looks great.
This was such an amazing transformation. Your mother is such a pure soul. Hope this air BnB is a huge success and do let us know when she becomes a super host. Enjoyed watching this transformation 😊
I’ve never stayed in an Air bnb but two things that impress me are exceptional cleanliness and details that make the stay more convenient; that can range from a handy shelf/hook for keys, to a Visitors book that has takeout menus, local attractions etc. A fresh coat of paint always makes a big impact. I’m so glad you painted all of the wood and I think it’s better to paint the bathroom towel rack etc. and then use the revenue from the air bnb to replace them in time. Good music in this video! The apartment looks fantastic, you and your family did a super job!
This is one of the most loved videos for me, that you have done. You are helping your Mom. You are spending time with your family during a difficult first after a death. The time you spent transforming a space that will be helpful for your Mom is beyond. I dont have enough words.
@@ThisCrazyLife You Rock, and your such a blessing to your family. I lost my Mom in July 2022 its been rough, that perfectly cozy apartment would be a nice getaway. Keep up the awesome videos. 🎉Happy New Year🎉
Adding a nice pack of 20 hangers in the closet and one of those shampoo conditioner and body wash dispensers in the shower is a really easy "superhost" touch in an Airbnb, as well as a good amount of those little shelf stable half and half's. Those are my favorite things to see in Airbnb's I stay in. I agree with the other commenter about the fridge swap for a much smaller one and the coffee bar up top too!
You have done a phenomenal job on your mums Airbnb! There isn’t anything you didn’t think of! It just looks so cosy and inviting and I’d absolutely stay there! Your dad would have been so proud of you all coming together to do this for your mum 🥰
We recently stayed in an air bnb with my whole family. My mom felt it would have been helpful had a vacuum, broom, and mop been provided to do her own little clean ups if there should have been a spill or mess made.
I have made that same request at rental homes I’ve stayed in on the North Carolina coast because I always want to be a good guest, who is allowed to return!
Hey Slim, I love the AirBnB! You know, when I win the lottery, of course, I’m going to hire you to plan and decorate my little cabin in the woods I’ve always wanted. You have THE BEST ideas! I never would’ve thought putting all of that together. Beautiful!
The way you feel about missing your Dad being by your side while painting is how I feel when I do almost anything. I was his shadow. He left me here with all of the knowledge he gave me and I don't want to do half of it because he isn't here to do it with me 😔 we have to remember that we're keeping them alive that way ❤ I know he's so proud of you ❤
This was so emotional to watch, but yet so inspirational. It's a beautiful story of how a family comes together in memory of your Father to bless your beautiful Mother. It turned out Amazing!!!!!
I know I’ve told you before, but your brother and my brother have the same name. And when he smiles, the little crows feet on the outside of his eyes remind me soooo much of him 🥺 enjoy each other as much as possible ❤️ you guys did an awesome job!
You never cease to amaze me. Watching your vision come together is so fun. My brother is exactly like that too. Lol. The little bit never goes away. 😂😂😂. Well done Amanda. It's perfect.
What a beautiful transformation! You were so creative with this. You did amazing on what must have been an emotional rollercoaster for you, your mum and family on this week. Sending you best wishes from Scotland. 💙🤗🏴
Hi Amanda, the transformation you guy’s did to your Mom’s apartment was incredible. Nice to see your family, specially Jacob prancing you 🤪 both of you have the same smile. God blessed you & the Family. Another great inspiration video👍🏻
Amanda, you and your family pulled it together beautifully. You maximized the space and the accents, the paint, the black hardware transformed it from a dated space into an upgrade. I love it. Painting the kitchen cabinets was one of my suggestion on your sneak peek vlog. I need to try beyond paint in my kitchen makeover. It looks great. The blue surprised me but it looks gorgeous. Good call to paint the additnal ceiling slant. What I would add if you haven't already is: a dual charger for Apple and Android devices, a blow dryer, a steamer or iron, coasters to avoid scuffs and water stains. Also to welcome each guest, you can add a welcome sign on the table with 2x bottles of water, a couple of generic snacks and a list of activities, sites to see, a restaurant list, etc. The gesture would go a long way. Your Dad would be proud. Good luck to Mom in her new business. 🙌🏽🏡😁
@@ThisCrazyLife I thought of 2x more Amanda. Add the name of the nearest hospital to that list i mentioned. Also a flashlight. I see you have a collection of suggestions from your subs. I'm sure as you book your guests, there may be other ideas that would be helpful. 🙌🏽 on a great job.
Hi Amanda! Wow, you all did an amazing job and it looks like such an inviting and comfortable place to stay! I love when hosts provide suggestions on things to do in the area and good places to eat. I hope your Mom gets her super host status quickly!
OH! Amanda, you opened this video with my most LOVED song of any of your videos I have watched. ( and girl, I have watched 90 % of your videos) Amanda, you and your family did an OUTSTANDING JOB on that little apartment, the transformation is AMAZING. Your Mother will QUICKLY earn the title of SUPER HOST. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I love the apartment, looks wonderful! I am always looking for storage in an Airbnb. I don’t want to live out of a suitcase, especially in a case like this past summer when we rented an apartment up on the coast of Washington for two weeks. Hangers, a hanging shelf unit in the closet, or even a small plastic set of drawers in the closet would make this place perfect and functional for any stay.
You really hit it out of the park on this one - making the most of everything you had to work with!!!! I've stayed at a few Airbnb's and would love to stay in something as sweet as this. As for what I like when staying some place - plenty of towels (for all needs) and extra pillowcases are high on my desire list, plus basic travel toiletries, cleaning supplies, disposable gloves, a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. Other great items are a binder of local tourist sites, places to eat (include TO GO menus), supermarket, pharmacy & eye doctor, plus local listings for emergency and non-emergency contacts (if allowing pets include a vet as well), including the host's info. Games are a nice touch for those rainy days (I saw you had SORRY). I'd also include SCRABBLE, checkers, a deck of cards, pencils, pens, scissors, a ream of printer paper, crayons & coloring books (most of which can be found at any Dollar Store). If trash removal is guest responsibility - where/when? Last but not least, a guest book folks can sign for your Mom to have as a reference and keepsake. I hope it's a smashing success and "SUPER HOST" level is achieved ASAP!! I just know your Dad is smiling down seeing how all of you are thriving, while maintaining that family connection. I see your brother and Kyle are cut from the same prankster cloth - I'm sure they feed off each other when together lol. Much love and happy holiday wishes to you all from SC!
What an INCREDIBLE transformation!! How sweet of you guys to do this for your mom! One of the things I like in an Airb&b is a basket of simple snacks waiting upon arrival. 😊
Oh my gosh, what a transformation. You and your family did amazing work. I LOVE the island in the kitchen and the dark blue focal wall which disguises the TV and adds interest. The only thing I would have done is to paint the back side of the kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors and the insides of the cabinets. That way it lightens up the darkness of the cabinet spaces so it's a bit easier to see what is in the cabinets and just looks a bit more high end. Great job and you're an angel to do all of that work for your mama and be by her side during her surgery and your dad's birthday which is such an emotional time.
Absolutely fantastic. As for extras, and hopefully I just didn't miss it if you did it already, I love when basic cleaning supplies are on hand. That way I can at least wipe things down and touch up the floors. Also an iron w/board and hair dryer. You all did an amazing job 🥰
Looks really nice! A cutting board leaned against the backsplash is a nice touch to be functional and help warm the space with natural elements and tie in with the floor. When I stay at an Airbnb I prefer not to have fake plants as they really are dust collectors. Hand towels and washcloths are nice to have as well. Also it’s nice to have a French press and regular coffee, especially for us who need to be caffeinated in the mornings. You created such a welcoming space! Lovely!
You did it again, I think this was the best one. Just because you used less budget and more imaginative ways to get the results you needed and wanted. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all the makeovers you have done, and I hope in the future there are more of this to come. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾💖
Wow! Just Wow! You guys did an absolutely amazing job. Your mom is sure to be a super host very soon!Hugs for your dad's birthday. My memories of my dad help me a lot.
Wow! Great job! I definitely agree that you made the right choice by painting the existing pieces in the bathroom so you had enough money in your budget for the new faucets. Totally worth it! You have got to be THE most patient person, doing THREE full days of painting! How did you not lose your mind? Well, it was worth it for that beautiful outcome! 🎉🎉🎉
Wow!! What a change. Not only is it beautiful but it looks a lot bigger. You did a fantastic job. I would love staying there. It could even be a nice apartment for a single. It is a fantastic place. The accent wall, painting the cabinets & changing the door handles, etc. sure made a huge difference. You are sooooo good at this.
What a fantastic transformation, you pulled together all the small spaces and nooks to make a cosy comfortable space - I bet your Mom loved it 🥰 And it looks like you’re all ‘handy’ in your family Absolutely loved it 😍 xxx
I guess may be some place mats to protect the island and heat pads too. Some cloth hangers in the closet, hair dryer, places to see recommendations in the area may be. Really lovely seeing your family come together for such a lovely project ❤
What a cute little Airbnb! 😍 I've stayed at a few Airbnb's with my family, but we are a family of 5 so we stay at houses lol. I don't know if you put an iron and ironing board in the closet, but that would be a nice thing to include. Maybe even a pack n play for babies, that could easily fit in the closet as well. For the fridge, include your basic condiment packets, and a filtered water pitcher. Also, if she can get some to-go menus from local restaurants, that might be helpful, or even local attractions for places to visit. Include written instructions for the TV as well, because some people aren't techy. Lol
I wanted to tear up every time you talked about your dad. Al be praying for you and your family for peace and healing during these times when it still hurts when you think about your dad. And encouragement in knowing you will see him again in a place where you won’t worry about pain or any earthly thing. I felt so bad when you were all by yourself doing the projects especially the paint 🤪, that was a lot of serious painting but you made it, and everything turned out amazing. Thank you for sharing. Sending love ❤❤
How is that the same space?! Amanda you did an amazing job! You and your family doing this together makes it all the more special, and I’m sure your dad was right there painting with you❤ I am a renter so I would love to see you do a makeover on a a home that is being rented!
Right?! It’s totally transformed! And I think he was with me too♥️ we definitely need to do some more rentals! I did two of my sisters homes a few years ago, but it’s been a while 🙃 and i think I’ve gotten better at transforming a space too since then
It's really beautiful. Such a lot of work in such a short amount of time! I stay at lots of AirBnBs. Here are the things I appreciate: Hand soap, wine glasses, corkscrew, measuring cups and spoons, Pam, salt, pepper, cooking oil, sugar, a few basic spices, hair dryer. Also, a few bottles of water. It's cheap and is such a nice touch.
It is so amazing how you envisioned a complete floor plan like you did. You have a true gift! I love staying in an Airbnb - much rather than a hotel any day! It's become quite common for your units to have a keyless entry...such as a digit code entry lock. This way the host will text you the code the day of your arrival. Also make sure to have a list of all rules and expectations clearly written out either online or printed out in the unit. It's very helpful to have a laminated sheet of tv instructions, especially if you have a smart tv. Also make sure to provide trash bags and have a designated trash disposal near the entry of the unit, with instructions. It's always nice to have a trial size shampoo, soap bar, etc. on the bathroom vanity. Thanks for sharing the beautiful transformation along with some beautiful family bonding time. Priceless ❤️
Crock pot, air fryer, instapot. You could also easily store a pack n play and collapsible highchair under the bed so you could accommodate a young family. It looks fantastic
Wow, just WOW! It is beautiful but the love that you have for your mom, brother and his family really comes through. Great job you all did. I hope your mom's bnb provides her a great income and fills the void of missing your dad.
It's lovely❤. What I like in a BnB or Airbnb is not only the decor and warmth (nothing worse than being too cold) but all the attention to detail. So having some coffee/tea sugar and milk in the fridge. Coat hooks and somewhere to put shoes as you walk in. Plenty of hangers and drawer space and if there are no drawers then have under-bed storage on wheels. A TV that's a decent size or a radio in the kitchen. Books or magazines and a card game or puzzle. Good luck x
This looks amazing! A large part of being a superhost is communication with the guests. How quickly do you respond to reservation inquiries, guest problems/questions? That goes a long way!
Gee Whiz Amanda! When I first started watching I thought, don't know about this one, but you and your amazing family pulled it off! All of y'all's hours of sweat and hard work really paid off. I know they she was thankful to have you there and also know that Kyle and the boys were very happy to have you home. Best of luck to her! 🎉🎉❤
Amanda girl!! The family and you did that! After all that I have seen you do, you need a little show on HGTV or the Magnolia network!! You all did so well and on a budget. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!
Wow! Loved this transformation. I’ve stayed at a few AirBnBs and I like WiFi information displayed prominently. Some people like a guest book, but what can set that apart is to share “your” story in the front of the book. It personalizes the stay and allows people to know who owns the lovely AirBnB. Best of luck. 😊
You are so beautiful. I love watching your home videos. When I go to an AirBnB, the most special thing I like is for there to be all of the essentials available and for it to feel as much like a hotel as can be while at the same time, feeling like you are visiting family. Clean and smelling nice are the most important.
I love it! I wish we could do something like this to our apartment but we aren’t able to paint or change any fixtures so I’m trying to get creative but not spend a ton. I like when Airbnb’s have games and cards to play. Great job as always!
Wow!!! Amanda you out did yourself it looks incredible. It's nice for you and your siblings to come together to do this for your mom . I just know she adores it. It's stunning cozy and supper pretty. Thank you for sharing. Nice too see your mom. You and your brother look alike. He's got a good sense of humor. God bless you and your beautiful family. ❤❤❤
Amanda so enjoyed your budget family makeover, nice to see everyone pitching in. It looks amazing!! As a traveller only thing I see would be just a cheap Walmart hairdryer in bathroom, also nice for women, is black small towel for make up, even though we take out make up off sometimes still have some in skin, black towel will save your moms white towels. Great Job.
Amanda, It looks amazing! Your family got to be together and that’s awesome! One thing we can never find is a tv channel guide. Even the last hotel didn’t have one and it was so awful not knowing the local channels. I like a guest book also. Your Mom will not have any problems renting this and being a Super Host!
This is the best make over on a budget I've ever seen. You did such a fantastic job. I cannot believe how nice it turned out. You did such a great job on everything. Love the couch, love the bedroom, love how cute the bathroom turned out. Love the black brick in the kitchen with the black hardware. So beautiful. I wish I could live there. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing makeover ❤ your family is so supportive and loving. Being together on the first anniversary of your dad’s passing was a blessing. I love all of your makeovers but this one was particularly special . You’re simply “the best of the best” 😊
Amanda!!! I have followed you for a long time. We actually are staying in this air BNB currently and were blown away when we found out you designed it all! Such a small world 💖
Ahhh!! Omgsh that’s so amazing!! Such a small world for sure ♡ I hope yall enjoy your stay! 😍 my mom LOVES that little Airbnb! What are yall in Missoula for?!
This video has given me so many ideas about our home. Our home was from the 80s so back then I guess they didn't need a lot of storage space. So I am trying to learn how to be creative with our space. Thank you for the ideas.
WOW! Congratulations on your mom becoming an AirBnB host! The makeover looks great! Love everything about it! Paint can really change a room! You have a great talent for decorating!
What a touching n loving way 2 help ur beautiful mom. I saw the pain in ur eyes when u spoke about ur dad. Glad u were with ur fam that dad. GB u all. May ur dad always R.I.P. 🥰🙏🏻
Some things I would add that made my experience at an AirBnB so special were they had puzzles and games to play there. Any other thing was they had all different smells and types of soap. Love how everything turned out. Hope this helps!!
There will be one really really proud dad looking down on his family watching the transformation and coming together and helping you mum become a super host fabulous job done by everyone and your brother is such a prankster xx
Amanda you new seem to amaze me with the way you just look at a place and transform it. From just a plain place to a comfortable home, Amazing love the colours too.x ❤️ your brother makes me laugh just like Kyle bless him.x
Oh Amanda!!!!! This is incredible. You guys did a great job! My fav thing about staying at air bnb’s is having a guest book to sign, and reading what everyone has written about their stay. I also love a frame on the counter with things to do in the area, fav restaurants etc.
Can’t pick favourites of anything so I love it all! The little trinkets were cute. The swinging picture frame was lovely and something I’ve never seen before. So great job!
You all did well! You all seemed to have it down with what you wanted to provide. We look for pots, pans, utensils, tea, coffee and basic spices. It's been nice when they leave a bottle of wine (can be cheap) on the table or kitchen to greet you. Also nice to have shampoo, conditioner, and blow dryer. Otherwise, that covers it. Looks great !
What an awesome team you all are! These makeovers are simply wonderful! So glad that you switched the sofas, raised the curtains, and added the kitchenette to space A. My only tip is to use the paper covered coffee stirrers for sanitary reasons, and don't put so many of them out. I'm glad that this series came up on my feed because it's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Thank you for sharing.
Oh my Amanda and family you guys did that!! It is beautiful!!It all came together, I would love to live there for a week! Everything is sooo gorgeous!! Pay yourselves on the back😊
Gurl, you are the painting Queen! We painted our home office and it took me two days to recover! I have no doubt that you will make that place lovely! You are amazing!
Absolutely beautiful! Can't believe all the room you created. I would make sure I had a wine bottle opener (maybe I missed it), 2 wine glasses. Those little creamers in the plastic containers (they last forever), sugar packets, salt and pepper, those little butter packets. Some information, even a coffee table book, on the town and stuff to do. A guest book for people to sign.
Absolutely fantastic transformation ❤love it ! I think a lot of suggestions have already been made. The best I can suggest is imagine you are a guest and what you might need while staying there. Sometimes the obvious isn’t always forthcoming 😊. Wishing your mum all the best with her Airbnb xxx
There is no way the transformed apartment is the same one you showed in the beginning! 😮. I cannot believe the way your mom’s, now, Airbnb, turned out! You and your family did an amazing job! I’ve never stayed in an Airbnb before but I love that you added blankets so someone can cuddle up on the couch and watch TV or add an extra blanket to the bed if needed. I also loved watching you and your family interact and you most definitely had me tearing up when you were wearing one of your dad’s painting shirts and started talking about how you used to work beside him. Happy heavenly birthday to your dad and many hugs to your mom, you, & your family! ❤️
Right?! It’s hard to imagine it being the original space now! and I’m so happy you enjoyed it. It was an emotional week, but such a blessing that we could spend it together and with a great purpose to help my sweet mama 💗
Hi, One thing I really liked when I stayed away was a starter basket that had been included. It had things like bread, milk, eggs etc (the necessities). It saved me from having to go out shopping straight away as I arrived late in the evening. Just an idea, hope it helped ❤
Amanda, I am in awe of your talents, especially your patience for painting. Seeing your visions come to life are always amazing! It looks like your brother Jacob has some amazing talents as well!
OMG Amanda! You are a certified makeover queen in a budget. It turned out really amazing! Pat your back Amanda for a very well done job. And to your brother Jason and to his wife and daughter for such a big help in this transformation. Surely, your mom will be a excellent host for this Airbnb business venture.❤️
Amanda , you did a beautiful job, and you got to spend time with family and work together that's what's most important and I'm certain your dad would be proud of you. PS.I miss my parents to , they are here with us so hold that dear to your heart 💜 Bless you all !Have a happy holiday season. Sincerely Darlene 💜
Loved everything about this! You truly transformed this small space into a warm, cozy and welcoming apartment. I am sure your Mom couldn't be prouder to have a daughter like you. And love the relationship you have with your brother. He made me laugh several times with his goofy antics. Let us know how well the Air BNB fares with rentals. It is so inviting.
*I would LOVE your feedback →* ?When staying in an AirBnB or vrbo, what sets it apart for you? Let me know what things are expected & what things make it feel extra special! My Mom is so excited for this & wants to get the “SuperHost” badge on AirBnB… and she wants this cute little apartment to be a wonderful & special place for someone to stay, so your feedback will be something I can send along to her & I know she would be so appreciative!

Yes ❤❤
I would stay there. I love it. Very cozy!
I believe that knowing the reason for people to stay in an AirBnB helps you provide a superior experience. For example, here in my city people are usually on business trips so it’s important that we have access to power points throughout the apartment. I also appreciate recommendations on take away and delivery restaurants nearby. 😬
I have owned several airbnb's in the past and I own one now. In the smallest space I had which was a little bit larger than a bedroom, I added a small fold down desk mounted on the wall so when not in use, it was flush against the wall.
Also a must for people who are traveling is a folding luggage rack when there's no dresser to store clothing in and it doesn't take up very much space when not in use.
I also left a little gift basket of goodies like some chocolates, a small bottle of wine, or tickets to a local attraction. Those little additions always got thank you's, rave reviews, even reciprocated gifts left for me by my guests, and the best part was often repeat business. I loved hosting the same guests again and they referred me to their friends and family so I got even more guests that way. The little things mean a lot.
This space will be deemed a Super Host place for sure❤🎉 Keep some beverages in the fridge like little waters and juices❤️⛄️
It's beautiful Amanda! Don't forget a guestbook for all the guests to sign and leave wonderful comments in! Sometimes hosts will also include brochures or local maps for interesting places to visit while guests stay there. Something your mom might want to consider down the road is replacing the refrigerator with a much smaller one and creating a coffee bar above it, with a basket of complimentary snacks (like local baked goods, etc.).
Love those ideas! Thank you 💕
IMO a physical guest book isn't necessary in an Airbnb because the online platform provides scope for this
@@stephm6573 The online platform is great for promoting the Airbnbs through reviews but for the owners and hosts, handwritten notes from guests during their stay is much more personal. I've watched the videos of a few different TH-camrs who visit and review all sorts of different Airbnb rentals and most of them have a guestbook along with a welcome basket of goodies for their guests to enjoy.
It looks amazing! One thing I love to have is a binder with recommendations and names of places to eat, nearby grocery store, laundromat,things to see and do, and a list of hiking trails. A small cooler makes taking a picnic lunch somewhere so much easier. Travel mugs and insulated water jugs are amazing to have. Also, having ziplock bags, plastic wrap, and aluminum foil is wonderful. A hairdryer is wonderful. Having a pad of paper and pens is super helpful too.
Great ideas!
Love these ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I second a binder of recommendations! I have stayed at rental places before and I wish I had that! I know with smart phones people have maps and directions but I would add that to the binder as well.
I learned from working in hotels you can lose a lot of profits from those who will take every thing with them, do sample sizes and don’t go overboard.
Check sink and shower traps regularly, they fill up with hair fast.
I would stay there because the first thing I look for is cleanliness. Great Super Hosts usually have a binder of suggestions on restaurants, shopping and things to do in the area. So helpful.
Coffee pod type coffee maker with pods, full length mirror, cork screw, scissors, simple pots and pans, cookie sheet, lots of toilet paper and towels. Throw blankets, pet bowls if you allow pets. Water filter love the makeover it’s going to be great! ❤
Thank you!! 💕 I love all the suggestions.
@@ThisCrazyLife your mom is living my dream! One day I would love to have a little place to provide an air b&b so cute and cozy
I would add basic sundries, like shampoo, soap, bandaid, peroxide the small things have for guests, sample sizes. Forgot to mention, Fresh flowers at check in.
I can’t believe the transformation of that apt. What a wonderful thing to do for your Mom. It looks amazing. I would like to have some emergency bathroom items like toothpaste, floss, little soaps, shampoo/conditioner. Salt & pepper, napkins, paper towels in the kitchen. Best of luck to your Mom in her airb&b!
Your mum is so blessed to have her kids helping her ❤The makeover turned out beautiful you nailed it
Best part was the whole family working together as an act of service for your mom. Great job! When the budget allows...counter refreshing!
Good call to paint higher, it really makes the room look taller. I’m glad you chose a slim-lined sofa, it’s a much better proportion for the room. The whole thing has come together beautifully. Well done, everyone. Little things like soap/body wash,; shampoo and conditioner; hairdryer are always appreciated in an Air BnB. They are certainly amenities I look for, they save me from having to pack them, especially when I’m coming from overseas and have weight restrictions.
Looks amazing! Some adds- Porta crib in the closet, salt and pepper, paper towels, water in the fridge, throw out any extra condiments that the previous guest might leave, cleaning supplies(just in case we have a spill). Broom, dust pan. Maybe a local treat or baked bread. Deck of cards.
I love EVERYTHING about this transformation!! The only suggestion I would say is putting marbled contact paper on the kitchen counters to match the island and tie it in even more!!
Exactly what I thought 😊
I love how it turned out. I love having a coffee station and a binder with area attractions, restaurants, important phone numbers, etc. I also love when there's a journal or book with a welcome message and an area for guests to leave notes and recommendations. One of my favorite air bnb had a chalkboard with a personalized message for us and a small basket of local treats (handmade soap, chocolates, and snacks).
Wow! Amanda it's gorgeous! Well done all of you & hugs for the anniversary of losing your Dad 😪
My sister ran her own Airbnb in the UK & was a superhost. What her visitors found
invaluable was a folder of local information. This should include the WiFi password, local restaurants with phone numbers to make reservations, local takeaway places with phone numbers, local coffee shops etc. Also include pamphlets (if you can get them) of nearby places of interest such as museums, galleries, cinemas, theme parks, open farms & also dates of interest like Christmas fayres etc. Information on local small businesses such as bakeries, gift shops, craft stores (that sell their own crafts etc) is also good business for your community.
A welcome letter with a basket containing fresh bread, maybe a bottle of wine, fresh milk in the fridge etc also helps if you aim to be a superhost. A visitors book is a nice touch as well.
The very best of luck to your lovely mum with her new venture xx
I stayed in a b&b there was a bottle of wine in fridge with a nice note saying thank you for choosing us. I love the creativity with the black and white paint. Accent wall in lr looks great.
This was such an amazing transformation. Your mother is such a pure soul. Hope this air BnB is a huge success and do let us know when she becomes a super host. Enjoyed watching this transformation 😊
Aww yay! Happy you enjoyed it! And I will let y’all know! She’s hoping to list it on Airbnb soon!
I’ve never stayed in an Air bnb but two things that impress me are exceptional cleanliness and details that make the stay more convenient; that can range from a handy shelf/hook for keys, to a Visitors book that has takeout menus, local attractions etc. A fresh coat of paint always makes a big impact. I’m so glad you painted all of the wood and I think it’s better to paint the bathroom towel rack etc. and then use the revenue from the air bnb to replace them in time. Good music in this video! The apartment looks fantastic, you and your family did a super job!
Thanks Leah!
This is one of the most loved videos for me, that you have done. You are helping your Mom. You are spending time with your family during a difficult first after a death. The time you spent transforming a space that will be helpful for your Mom is beyond. I dont have enough words.
Thanks Pamela! It was a blessing to be able to come together with a purpose on a difficult week ♥️
@@ThisCrazyLife You Rock, and your such a blessing to your family. I lost my Mom in July 2022 its been rough, that perfectly cozy apartment would be a nice getaway. Keep up the awesome videos. 🎉Happy New Year🎉
You all did a great job. What a transformation! Your brother is hilarious 😂. I’m sure you made your Dad so proud. 💗
Adding a nice pack of 20 hangers in the closet and one of those shampoo conditioner and body wash dispensers in the shower is a really easy "superhost" touch in an Airbnb, as well as a good amount of those little shelf stable half and half's. Those are my favorite things to see in Airbnb's I stay in. I agree with the other commenter about the fridge swap for a much smaller one and the coffee bar up top too!
You have done a phenomenal job on your mums Airbnb! There isn’t anything you didn’t think of! It just looks so cosy and inviting and I’d absolutely stay there! Your dad would have been so proud of you all coming together to do this for your mum 🥰
We recently stayed in an air bnb with my whole family. My mom felt it would have been helpful had a vacuum, broom, and mop been provided to do her own little clean ups if there should have been a spill or mess made.
Totally! My mom will be leaving at least a broom in the closet🥰
I have made that same request at rental homes I’ve stayed in on the North Carolina coast because I always want to be a good guest, who is allowed to return!
Hey Slim, I love the AirBnB! You know, when I win the lottery, of course, I’m going to hire you to plan and decorate my little cabin in the woods I’ve always wanted. You have THE BEST ideas! I never would’ve thought putting all of that together. Beautiful!
I loved the results! Totally amazing! I know your mom is so happy to have had your help!
It was so special being able to do this for her!
The way you feel about missing your Dad being by your side while painting is how I feel when I do almost anything. I was his shadow. He left me here with all of the knowledge he gave me and I don't want to do half of it because he isn't here to do it with me 😔 we have to remember that we're keeping them alive that way ❤ I know he's so proud of you ❤
This was so emotional to watch, but yet so inspirational. It's a beautiful story of how a family comes together in memory of your Father to bless your beautiful Mother. It turned out Amazing!!!!!
♥️♥️♥️
I know I’ve told you before, but your brother and my brother have the same name. And when he smiles, the little crows feet on the outside of his eyes remind me soooo much of him 🥺 enjoy each other as much as possible ❤️ you guys did an awesome job!
You never cease to amaze me. Watching your vision come together is so fun. My brother is exactly like that too. Lol. The little bit never goes away. 😂😂😂. Well done Amanda. It's perfect.
Love the kitchen...the black hardware looks great with the white cabinets.
What a beautiful transformation! You were so creative with this. You did amazing on what must have been an emotional rollercoaster for you, your mum and family on this week. Sending you best wishes from Scotland. 💙🤗🏴
So sorry for your loss, Sweetie. It is wonderful you could have time together as a family and process together. 🙏🙏
Biggest hugs. Know that bittersweet feeling. Hugs to you all. So great to see you all working together. Lovely family you have. No 1 fan 🇦🇺
Hi Amanda, the transformation you guy’s did to your Mom’s apartment was incredible. Nice to see your family, specially Jacob prancing you 🤪 both of you have the same smile. God blessed you & the Family. Another great inspiration video👍🏻
Amanda, you and your family pulled it together beautifully. You maximized the space and the accents, the paint, the black hardware transformed it from a dated space into an upgrade. I love it. Painting the kitchen cabinets was one of my suggestion on your sneak peek vlog. I need to try beyond paint in my kitchen makeover. It looks great. The blue surprised me but it looks gorgeous. Good call to paint the additnal ceiling slant. What I would add if you haven't already is: a dual charger for Apple and Android devices, a blow dryer, a steamer or iron, coasters to avoid scuffs and water stains. Also to welcome each guest, you can add a welcome sign on the table with 2x bottles of water, a couple of generic snacks and a list of activities, sites to see, a restaurant list, etc. The gesture would go a long way. Your Dad would be proud. Good luck to Mom in her new business. 🙌🏽🏡😁
Thank you!! 💕
Love your suggestions! I’m so happy you loved how it all turned out 🥰
@@ThisCrazyLife I thought of 2x more Amanda. Add the name of the nearest hospital to that list i mentioned. Also a flashlight. I see you have a collection of suggestions from your subs. I'm sure as you book your guests, there may be other ideas that would be helpful. 🙌🏽 on a great job.
Hi Amanda! Wow, you all did an amazing job and it looks like such an inviting and comfortable place to stay! I love when hosts provide suggestions on things to do in the area and good places to eat. I hope your Mom gets her super host status quickly!
OH! Amanda, you opened this video with my most LOVED song of any of your videos I have watched. ( and girl, I have watched 90 % of your videos) Amanda, you and your family did an OUTSTANDING JOB on that little apartment, the transformation is AMAZING. Your Mother will QUICKLY earn the title of SUPER HOST. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ahh love it! I love that song too! So catchy!
I love the apartment, looks wonderful! I am always looking for storage in an Airbnb. I don’t want to live out of a suitcase, especially in a case like this past summer when we rented an apartment up on the coast of Washington for two weeks. Hangers, a hanging shelf unit in the closet, or even a small plastic set of drawers in the closet would make this place perfect and functional for any stay.
Thanks so much!! That’s a great bonus to the makeover.
A fresh coat of paint can always change an old house to a brand new one. The new white cabinets are so beautiful beyond words !
Amanda, it looks amazing. So cute and cozy. You and your family have knotted it out of the park. Another fun video.😍
You really hit it out of the park on this one - making the most of everything you had to work with!!!! I've stayed at a few Airbnb's and would love to stay in something as sweet as this. As for what I like when staying some place - plenty of towels (for all needs) and extra pillowcases are high on my desire list, plus basic travel toiletries, cleaning supplies, disposable gloves, a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. Other great items are a binder of local tourist sites, places to eat (include TO GO menus), supermarket, pharmacy & eye doctor, plus local listings for emergency and non-emergency contacts (if allowing pets include a vet as well), including the host's info. Games are a nice touch for those rainy days (I saw you had SORRY). I'd also include SCRABBLE, checkers, a deck of cards, pencils, pens, scissors, a ream of printer paper, crayons & coloring books (most of which can be found at any Dollar Store). If trash removal is guest responsibility - where/when? Last but not least, a guest book folks can sign for your Mom to have as a reference and keepsake. I hope it's a smashing success and "SUPER HOST" level is achieved ASAP!! I just know your Dad is smiling down seeing how all of you are thriving, while maintaining that family connection. I see your brother and Kyle are cut from the same prankster cloth - I'm sure they feed off each other when together lol. Much love and happy holiday wishes to you all from SC!
What an INCREDIBLE transformation!! How sweet of you guys to do this for your mom! One of the things I like in an Airb&b is a basket of simple snacks waiting upon arrival. 😊
Oh my gosh, what a transformation. You and your family did amazing work. I LOVE the island in the kitchen and the dark blue focal wall which disguises the TV and adds interest.
The only thing I would have done is to paint the back side of the kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors and the insides of the cabinets. That way it lightens up the darkness of the cabinet spaces so it's a bit easier to see what is in the cabinets and just looks a bit more high end.
Great job and you're an angel to do all of that work for your mama and be by her side during her surgery and your dad's birthday which is such an emotional time.
Thank you!! 💕
Absolutely fantastic. As for extras, and hopefully I just didn't miss it if you did it already, I love when basic cleaning supplies are on hand. That way I can at least wipe things down and touch up the floors. Also an iron w/board and hair dryer. You all did an amazing job 🥰
Oh yea! Those will be added, we just didn’t have time to pick them up before I had to head home. But totally an important thing to keep there… thanks!
Looks really nice! A cutting board leaned against the backsplash is a nice touch to be functional and help warm the space with natural elements and tie in with the floor. When I stay at an Airbnb I prefer not to have fake plants as they really are dust collectors. Hand towels and washcloths are nice to have as well. Also it’s nice to have a French press and regular coffee, especially for us who need to be caffeinated in the mornings. You created such a welcoming space! Lovely!
You did it again, I think this was the best one. Just because you used less budget and more imaginative ways to get the results you needed and wanted. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all the makeovers you have done, and I hope in the future there are more of this to come. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾💖
Wow! Just Wow! You guys did an absolutely amazing job. Your mom is sure to be a super host very soon!Hugs for your dad's birthday. My memories of my dad help me a lot.
Thank you 💕 and sending love your way♥️
Wow! Great job! I definitely agree that you made the right choice by painting the existing pieces in the bathroom so you had enough money in your budget for the new faucets. Totally worth it! You have got to be THE most patient person, doing THREE full days of painting! How did you not lose your mind? Well, it was worth it for that beautiful outcome! 🎉🎉🎉
That’s an amazing transformation! Well done to you and your family.
Thanks Pam 🥰
Wow!! What a change. Not only is it beautiful but it looks a lot bigger. You did a fantastic job. I would love staying there. It could even be a nice apartment for a single. It is a fantastic place. The accent wall, painting the cabinets & changing the door handles, etc. sure made a huge difference. You are sooooo good at this.
What a fantastic transformation, you pulled together all the small spaces and nooks to make a cosy comfortable space - I bet your Mom loved it 🥰
And it looks like you’re all ‘handy’ in your family
Absolutely loved it 😍 xxx
I guess may be some place mats to protect the island and heat pads too. Some cloth hangers in the closet, hair dryer, places to see recommendations in the area may be. Really lovely seeing your family come together for such a lovely project ❤
What a cute little Airbnb! 😍 I've stayed at a few Airbnb's with my family, but we are a family of 5 so we stay at houses lol. I don't know if you put an iron and ironing board in the closet, but that would be a nice thing to include. Maybe even a pack n play for babies, that could easily fit in the closet as well. For the fridge, include your basic condiment packets, and a filtered water pitcher. Also, if she can get some to-go menus from local restaurants, that might be helpful, or even local attractions for places to visit. Include written instructions for the TV as well, because some people aren't techy. Lol
I wanted to tear up every time you talked about your dad. Al be praying for you and your family for peace and healing during these times when it still hurts when you think about your dad. And encouragement in knowing you will see him again in a place where you won’t worry about pain or any earthly thing.
I felt so bad when you were all by yourself doing the projects especially the paint 🤪, that was a lot of serious painting but you made it, and everything turned out amazing. Thank you for sharing. Sending love ❤❤
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️ I’m so thankful we could be there for my mom
How is that the same space?! Amanda you did an amazing job! You and your family doing this together makes it all the more special, and I’m sure your dad was right there painting with you❤ I am a renter so I would love to see you do a makeover on a a home that is being rented!
Right?! It’s totally transformed! And I think he was with me too♥️ we definitely need to do some more rentals! I did two of my sisters homes a few years ago, but it’s been a while 🙃 and i think I’ve gotten better at transforming a space too since then
It's really beautiful. Such a lot of work in such a short amount of time! I stay at lots of AirBnBs. Here are the things I appreciate: Hand soap, wine glasses, corkscrew, measuring cups and spoons, Pam, salt, pepper, cooking oil, sugar, a few basic spices, hair dryer. Also, a few bottles of water. It's cheap and is such a nice touch.
It is so amazing how you envisioned a complete floor plan like you did. You have a true gift! I love staying in an Airbnb - much rather than a hotel any day! It's become quite common for your units to have a keyless entry...such as a digit code entry lock. This way the host will text you the code the day of your arrival. Also make sure to have a list of all rules and expectations clearly written out either online or printed out in the unit. It's very helpful to have a laminated sheet of tv instructions, especially if you have a smart tv. Also make sure to provide trash bags and have a designated trash disposal near the entry of the unit, with instructions. It's always nice to have a trial size shampoo, soap bar, etc. on the bathroom vanity. Thanks for sharing the beautiful transformation along with some beautiful family bonding time. Priceless ❤️
Your brothers smile is exactly matching your smile! So nice to have all the family help! Great job!
Ahh! I’ll have to go back and look! So fun to hear you look like your family 🥰
Crock pot, air fryer, instapot. You could also easily store a pack n play and collapsible highchair under the bed so you could accommodate a young family. It looks fantastic
Are you kidding me?? If that's what you need bring them from home
Wow, just WOW! It is beautiful but the love that you have for your mom, brother and his family really comes through. Great job you all did. I hope your mom's bnb provides her a great income and fills the void of missing your dad.
It's lovely❤. What I like in a BnB or Airbnb is not only the decor and warmth (nothing worse than being too cold) but all the attention to detail. So having some coffee/tea sugar and milk in the fridge. Coat hooks and somewhere to put shoes as you walk in. Plenty of hangers and drawer space and if there are no drawers then have under-bed storage on wheels. A TV that's a decent size or a radio in the kitchen. Books or magazines and a card game or puzzle. Good luck x
This looks amazing! A large part of being a superhost is communication with the guests. How quickly do you respond to reservation inquiries, guest problems/questions? That goes a long way!
Gee Whiz Amanda! When I first started watching I thought, don't know about this one, but you and your amazing family pulled it off! All of y'all's hours of sweat and hard work really paid off. I know they she was thankful to have you there and also know that Kyle and the boys were very happy to have you home. Best of luck to her! 🎉🎉❤
Haha yay! I’m happy that you were happily surprised by the result of this makeover!!🥰
Amanda girl!! The family and you did that! After all that I have seen you do, you need a little show on HGTV or the Magnolia network!! You all did so well and on a budget. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!
Omgsh that would be a dream!! 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Loved this transformation. I’ve stayed at a few AirBnBs and I like WiFi information displayed prominently. Some people like a guest book, but what can set that apart is to share “your” story in the front of the book. It personalizes the stay and allows people to know who owns the lovely AirBnB. Best of luck. 😊
I always like to have a hair dryer and a wine opener at Air B&B. You did an amazing job. At first I thought too much white but it works. Really nice
I’m so glad you were able to spend your dad’s birthday with your mom🥰🥰🥰
Me too… it was very good to be together that day ♥️
Count it all joy you have a wonderful brother and family. You are so blessed to work hand in hand helping your mother.
You are so beautiful. I love watching your home videos. When I go to an AirBnB, the most special thing I like is for there to be all of the essentials available and for it to feel as much like a hotel as can be while at the same time, feeling like you are visiting family. Clean and smelling nice are the most important.
I love it! I wish we could do something like this to our apartment but we aren’t able to paint or change any fixtures so I’m trying to get creative but not spend a ton. I like when Airbnb’s have games and cards to play.
Great job as always!
Wow!!! Amanda you out did yourself it looks incredible. It's nice for you and your siblings to come together to do this for your mom . I just know she adores it. It's stunning cozy and supper pretty. Thank you for sharing. Nice too see your mom. You and your brother look alike. He's got a good sense of humor. God bless you and your beautiful family. ❤❤❤
Amanda so enjoyed your budget family makeover, nice to see everyone pitching in. It looks amazing!! As a traveller only thing I see would be just a cheap Walmart hairdryer in bathroom, also nice for women, is black small towel for make up, even though we take out make up off sometimes still have some in skin, black towel will save your moms white towels. Great Job.
Amanda, It looks amazing! Your family got to be together and that’s awesome! One thing we can never find is a tv channel guide. Even the last hotel didn’t have one and it was so awful not knowing the local channels. I like a guest book also. Your Mom will not have any problems renting this and being a Super Host!
This is the best make over on a budget I've ever seen. You did such a fantastic job. I cannot believe how nice it turned out. You did such a great job on everything. Love the couch, love the bedroom, love how cute the bathroom turned out. Love the black brick in the kitchen with the black hardware. So beautiful. I wish I could live there. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing makeover ❤ your family is so supportive and loving. Being together on the first anniversary of your dad’s passing was a blessing. I love all of your makeovers but this one was particularly special . You’re simply “the best of the best” 😊
Amanda!!! I have followed you for a long time. We actually are staying in this air BNB currently and were blown away when we found out you designed it all! Such a small world 💖
Ahhh!! Omgsh that’s so amazing!! Such a small world for sure ♡ I hope yall enjoy your stay! 😍 my mom LOVES that little Airbnb! What are yall in Missoula for?!
@@ThisCrazyLife A family reunion! My husband's family is from here. It's a beautiful place to get away in the summer 🥰
This video has given me so many ideas about our home. Our home was from the 80s so back then I guess they didn't need a lot of storage space. So I am trying to learn how to be creative with our space. Thank you for the ideas.
WOW! Congratulations on your mom becoming an AirBnB host! The makeover looks great! Love everything about it! Paint can really change a room! You have a great talent for decorating!
What a touching n loving way 2 help ur beautiful mom. I saw the pain in ur eyes when u spoke about ur dad. Glad u were with ur fam that dad. GB u all. May ur dad always R.I.P. 🥰🙏🏻
♥️♥️♥️
Some things I would add that made my experience at an AirBnB so special were they had puzzles and games to play there. Any other thing was they had all different smells and types of soap. Love how everything turned out. Hope this helps!!
There will be one really really proud dad looking down on his family watching the transformation and coming together and helping you mum become a super host fabulous job done by everyone and your brother is such a prankster xx
Amanda you new seem to amaze me with the way you just look at a place and transform it. From just a plain place to a comfortable home, Amazing love the colours too.x ❤️ your brother makes me laugh just like Kyle bless him.x
Oh Amanda!!!!! This is incredible. You guys did a great job! My fav thing about staying at air bnb’s is having a guest book to sign, and reading what everyone has written about their stay. I also love a frame on the counter with things to do in the area, fav restaurants etc.
Can’t pick favourites of anything so I love it all! The little trinkets were cute. The swinging picture frame was lovely and something I’ve never seen before. So great job!
You all did well! You all seemed to have it down with what you wanted to provide. We look for pots, pans, utensils, tea, coffee and basic spices. It's been nice when they leave a bottle of wine (can be cheap) on the table or kitchen to greet you. Also nice to have shampoo, conditioner, and blow dryer. Otherwise, that covers it. Looks great !
Amanda this Air BnB is so welcoming. Your mom looked so happy.this will be an exciting adventure for her. Best of luck to her.
What an awesome team you all are! These makeovers are simply wonderful! So glad that you switched the sofas, raised the curtains, and added the kitchenette to space A. My only tip is to use the paper covered coffee stirrers for sanitary reasons, and don't put so many of them out. I'm glad that this series came up on my feed because it's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Thank you for sharing.
Oh good idea for the coffee stirrers! Thanks for sharing! And I hope you enjoyed the video (and any others you watched!) 💗
Oh my Amanda and family you guys did that!! It is beautiful!!It all came together, I would love to live there for a week! Everything is sooo gorgeous!! Pay yourselves on the back😊
Gurl, you are the painting Queen! We painted our home office and it took me two days to recover! I have no doubt that you will make that place lovely! You are amazing!
Haha Omgsh there was SO much painting 😅
Absolutely beautiful! Can't believe all the room you created. I would make sure I had a wine bottle opener (maybe I missed it), 2 wine glasses. Those little creamers in the plastic containers (they last forever), sugar packets, salt and pepper, those little butter packets. Some information, even a coffee table book, on the town and stuff to do. A guest book for people to sign.
Absolutely fantastic transformation ❤love it ! I think a lot of suggestions have already been made. The best I can suggest is imagine you are a guest and what you might need while staying there. Sometimes the obvious isn’t always forthcoming 😊. Wishing your mum all the best with her Airbnb xxx
Great job, Amanda!
Your mother is lucky to have such a helpful family.
There is no way the transformed apartment is the same one you showed in the beginning! 😮. I cannot believe the way your mom’s, now, Airbnb, turned out! You and your family did an amazing job! I’ve never stayed in an Airbnb before but I love that you added blankets so someone can cuddle up on the couch and watch TV or add an extra blanket to the bed if needed. I also loved watching you and your family interact and you most definitely had me tearing up when you were wearing one of your dad’s painting shirts and started talking about how you used to work beside him. Happy heavenly birthday to your dad and many hugs to your mom, you, & your family! ❤️
Right?! It’s hard to imagine it being the original space now! and I’m so happy you enjoyed it. It was an emotional week, but such a blessing that we could spend it together and with a great purpose to help my sweet mama 💗
Hi, One thing I really liked when I stayed away was a starter basket that had been included. It had things like bread, milk, eggs etc (the necessities). It saved me from having to go out shopping straight away as I arrived late in the evening.
Just an idea, hope it helped ❤
Amanda, I am in awe of your talents, especially your patience for painting. Seeing your visions come to life are always amazing! It looks like your brother Jacob has some amazing talents as well!
Everything looks great, you did a beautiful job with the Airbnb. You've made your dad proud.
You worked your butt off girlfriend. This was so kind of you. Your dad would be so proud!!! Hugs. Everything turned out great. ❤
I think your transformation turned out so Beautiful. I know that your mother really appreciates it.⚘
Extra pillows to sleep on, blankets, and towels. It looks amazing!!
OMG Amanda! You are a certified makeover queen in a budget. It turned out really amazing! Pat your back Amanda for a very well done job. And to your brother Jason and to his wife and daughter for such a big help in this transformation. Surely, your mom will be a excellent host for this Airbnb business venture.❤️
HGTV needs to sign you on!! Very impressive Reno!!
Omgsh that would be such a dream!!
Amanda , you did a beautiful job, and you got to spend time with family and work together that's what's most important and I'm certain your dad would be proud of you. PS.I miss my parents to , they are here with us so hold that dear to your heart 💜 Bless you all !Have a happy holiday season. Sincerely Darlene 💜
Loved everything about this! You truly transformed this small space into a warm, cozy and welcoming apartment. I am sure your Mom couldn't be prouder to have a daughter like you. And love the relationship you have with your brother. He made me laugh several times with his goofy antics. Let us know how well the Air BNB fares with rentals. It is so inviting.
Omg I seriously love this little apartment. Well done😊 you certainly have the touch. Congratulations 🥂
Aww thank you 💕
Wow! So impressive! A cozy little get away space that your guests will just love.
