Hi! I'm Elissa, your vacation-home stylist. From lakeshore getaways to mountain hideouts to beachside escapes, there’s nothing more rejuvenating than a weekend at a vacation home. And, for home-stylists like me, there's nothing more exciting than making that special place feel like the blissful getaway you've always dreamed of. The challenge? So many vacation-home owners shift into auto-pilot when furnishing their hideout. Living among nature, trees, water and sky, many dwellers simply default to bringing in literal items of their surroundings. While traditional cabin- and beach-getaway style are nice for some, I'd rather talk about refreshed vacation-home style. Examples? Highlighting pieces that tell a story of your travels, hobbies and experiences. Bringing in interpretations of traditional materials, global themes and furnishings. Combining modern elements with old-school standards. Allowing the vintage and the sleek to cohabitate happily with, of course, some humor and whimsy brought in for good measure. Having some all-out fun with your space. (You ARE at your vacation home, after all.) This is the core idea of Cabinspiration. And I'm your stylist.
