CLEY COTTAGE
This coastal cottage is in Cley Next to the Sea, a charming town in Norfolk, England. This house was designed alongside the owner who is a professor wanting to use this space as a 2nd home and occasionally rent it to the avid bird watchers who pass through the area.
We spent many months curating the perfect local art to mix with some new and some vintage furniture finds.

MADISON BUNGALOW
This short-term rental was designed to appeal to visitors of a small college town in Bloomington, Indiana.
It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath bungalow remodel that we brought to life with well-planned vintage + new furniture and art throughout. The result is a warm and inviting short-term rental designed to appeal to parents of college students.

CAMBRIDGE OASIS
This is my home which I have designed slowly over the last few years. These pictures were taken recently as we've just converted our family home into a short-term rental listing.
We have embarked upon a year of travel around the world, and while we are away, our home is available to rent. Check it out here if you'll be in Cambridge, England before August 2025 when we return!

COASTAL BLUE SEASIDE CONDO
For this beachfront condo, I traveled to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to complete a redesign in person. The kitchen renovation and design plans were executed virtually, and when we arrived we focused on styling and staging.
You can watch a video of the process here, and see my design process plus shop some of the products I used on this blog post.

AVONLEA SEASIDE CONDO
This seaside condo owner wanted us to incorporate bold color choices, but re-painting wasn't part of the scope of the project as it had just recently been done.
So we used bold teal blue velvet curtains and other pops of saturated blue in the design to make this listing 'stop the scroll'. The result of this redesign was a property that started performing far better in a saturated market.

Seriously amazing...Working with Valerie Quill at Quill Decor has been an absolute delight! From the moment I first approached her about designing the interior of my short-term rental property in Newton, Wisconsin, she has exceeded my expectations in every way. Valerie not only guided me in the right design choices to meet my personal preferences (this is our second home) that would also be appealing to guests, but she was also price-conscious, ensuring we stayed within our budget.
Her thoughtful approach made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for creating spaces that are both stylish and functional. As an added, plus, she provided us with a list of essential items to keep in our home and w ith guidance on branding and showcasing our property on the various platforms.
For any newcomer to the short-term rental business, I would advise you to hire a professional such as Valerie as a trusted partner and guide in the process of setting up your investment for success. Thanks to her expertise, my rental property now stands out, attracting more guests and receiving fantastic reviews. I highly recommend Valerie and Quill Decor for any design needs!"

Valerie and the Quill Decor staff did an amazing job in designing, furnishing, and staging a home that we recently remodeled for use as an Airbnb. I couldn't be happier with the process or with the finished look. I'm so grateful to have had her help and guidance on this project.
