Living Room Makeover at the FunCycled Stays Airbnb

Hi Friends,

I’m so excited to share with you the living room makeover at our airbnb. It was a huge change from what we started with. Here it was the day we went to look at the building to buy it.

We started by ripping up the plywood floor and finding beautiful hard wood flooring that we could refinish. Love when that happens!

We painted all the walls and trim Simply White by Benjamin Moore. We also added a new framed out area by the TV.

We also did a backer board shiplap in the entertainment area and built barn board shelves to add texture and dimension. The coffee table is a repurposed lobster crate with a glass top, and the leather chairs are so soft and comfy. We also added blind for privacy and more texture. I love the mid century modern light in this room to make everything pop. It adds color and a lot of light in the evening.

It would mean so much if you would share this link with any friend you think might be interested. You can book your stay on Airbnb’s website today! 

We loved being able to do all the design for this space. We focused on using as much repurposed items we could for accents and furniture throughout the space! Making it green, beautiful, and one of a kind for your home away from home stay. 

If you’d like me to help you with design in your home (can be done virtually to help anyone in the US) or if you see anything in the photos you’d like in your home locally, let me know. We made most of the signs ourselves and build many of the furniture items throughout the space. 

Thanks for being the best funcycler’s around!
