Living room .. holiday rental in Barbados

by Jane Shattuck
(Barbados)

St Lawrence Gap, Barbados vacation rental

St Lawrence Gap, Barbados vacation rental

Hi! I'm an American living in Barbados. I have purchased two fairly modest rental apartments that have great sea views. But people need more than a view, don't they? They need to feel comfortable and they need to see the place as something special.

My challenges:

1. The rental apartments are basically concrete shoe boxes with no inherent architectural interest whatsoever.

2. The selection of home-decorating items (furniture, lamps, artifacts) is minimal and very expensive for what you get.

3. My budget is tight.

4. I'm not a professional interior designer; I just do it on my own because I love a challenge :) AND, like I said, I have too tight a budget to hire professionals.

You can view before/after shots of the holiday rental I just purchased on my blog: http://onelovebarbados.com/?s=rolling+the+dice

I love this site, Interior Design Do It Yourself, and have want to contribute for awhile. So here goes ... hope you like this.

Hi Jane

WOW!

I love it - what a wonderful makeover - and I think you've actually done a very professional job

love all the rooms, but I actually particularly like the lovely green second bedroom that you show in your blog

Well done - good job! You should feel very proud :o)
