The focus today is on outdoor projects and indoor painting that will transform the space and help us create a more inviting and profitable rental.
Morning: Starting the Day
Outdoor Priorities
Location: Palm Springs means outdoor spaces are key.
Projects: Installing new fences, setting up the fire pit, and ensuring the outdoor area is guest-ready.
Mid-Morning: Indoor Focus
While the handyman worked on outdoor improvements, I got started on the indoor makeover.
Indoor Projects
Neon Sign Setup: I’ll be framing a neon sign on the wall, ensuring it's perfectly aligned with the table and light fixture.
Bathroom Makeover: Last night, I painted the back bathroom a deep brown, hoping to make the shower blend in more subtly. I plan to add a fun lemon stencil on the walls for a pop of color.
Wall Preparation: I started taping off the big wall I’m painting today. Taping a wall can be tricky, so I fueled up with coffee before tackling this.
Afternoon: Progress Outdoors
The outdoor space is coming together!
Outdoor Updates
New Fence Installation: Both sides of the property now have fresh, clean fences.
Fire Pit Setup: The fire pit is finally in place! I’m absolutely obsessed with the look, although I may need to space out the seating a bit more.
Lawn Bowling Area: Getting the bowling lane ready for some fun lawn games.
Hiding Pool Equipment: Installed another fence to keep the pool equipment out of sight.
Evening: Wrapping Up Day 2
It’s been a productive day, but I’m exhausted! Here’s what’s left to finish today and what’s coming up:
Final Touches
Primary Room Decor: I added a stripe behind the bed in the primary room where a neon sign will hang. It’s going to be a cute and stylish focal point.
Dining Room Stripe: I’m also painting a new stripe in the dining room with plans to add another neon sign there. The color palette will focus on pink tones to draw attention and create a “hero image” for Airbnb.
Next Steps
Shopping Trip: I plan to head to HomeGoods to find some outdoor tables that will complement the pool chairs.
More Painting: I’ll continue working little by little, as there’s still a lot left to do.
