The day we moved into @themaybeforever I strategic

The day we moved into @themaybeforever I strategically placed a few pieces of furniture & art to hide some of the ‘not so perfect’ aspects of this house 🙈. After living here for twelve months, the hole behind the artwork on this wall finally got to the better of me … and it was time to patch it. ⁣
⁣
Although I work in the building industry, getting my hands dirty is not really my thing. And with Ben still on holidays, he definitely didn’t want to get involved (the real life of being married to a builder 🤷‍♀️). So I headed down to my local @bunnings store to check out @gyprockliving ‘Less Mess DIY’ product range. I chose the multipurpose bucket as the compound was already mixed & ready to go, I wanted something that was quick & clean. Honestly it was so easy to do, and rewarding … after a few coats & sanding the wall was as good as new 🙌⁣ 💃
⁣

Not every holiday property requires the full servi

Not every holiday property requires the full service, and I’ll always be the first one to say when this isn’t needed.
⁣
It’s pretty simple: ⁣
⁣
1. A holiday property needs to appeal to a guest through the screen (hello good photography & styling). ⁣
⁣
2. Guests need that appeal to translate to a smile when they arrive (hello expectations being met or blown out of the water, in a good way). ⁣
⁣
3. A holiday property needs to feel like it’s the guests home away from home, for it to feel like it’s a space specifically created for them (definitely no family photos on the walls). ⁣
⁣
If you tick those three boxes your on your way to a successful holiday property business. ✔️✔️✔️⁣

And if your looking for a family holiday property in Mollymook on the NSW Coast, be sure to check out ‘Muriyira’. It hit the market in December after a bit of a styling/holiday property makeover by our SOUL Home team 🙌 🌊☀️. ⁣ Bookings through @whereweescape

Freedom feels and looks good 🙌.

Whilst our time @thepauseaus was not exactly what we planned, thanks to isolation 🙈 … we still were able to ‘step away from our everyday’. ⁣
⁣
So now as we gain our freedom back, and leave our holiday property … our 2022 officially starts now, time for a holiday at home 🤣 .

Can confirm the kitchen @thepauseaus does not look like this right now 🙈. But I can confirm all our @bingleeofficial appliances are being put to good use during isolation 🙏.
