Valois Villa- Historic Home in FLX Wine Country

04/12/2023

I love thinking about how many people will sit here and enjoy a cup of coffee or share belly laughs with their best friends or make a delicious meal or sit under the stars or talk until 2 am with someone they love or sit still and enjoy the silence.

I really, truly, deeply love uncovering the different layers of this property and discovering once forgotten magical spaces. It’s such a treat and I can’t wait to show y’all what I have in store for this little baby courtyard 🧱✨🌱

It may not feel like Spring outside, but I’m feeling it inside. Living at the Villa during the off season gives me an opportunity to make the space as user friendly as possible. The entry room got a little shoe storage upgrade last night, and it’s now one of my favorite spaces in the house 🤗

When real Spring comes, I’ve got some fun projects up my sleeve that I can’t wait to show you all.

I am still taking this Summer off from renting full time, but I have opened the calendar for a few select Holiday weekends! You can book your stay now with the link in our bio! 👏

Blood, sweat and a lot of tears later and the Valois Villa has a new face! Thankful, grateful, and excited to continue bringing this house back to life 🙏🏻✨❤️

And that’s a wrap! Thank you all so so much for being apart of my journey. I fell in love with this house the first time I saw it, and I grow fonder of it every day. The improvements I’ve been able to make to my beloved home is in part to all of you, and I am infinitely grateful.

I will be taking some time off from renting to take it all in and continue renovating, but I will be sure to let you know when I’m up and running again!

Stay tuned for more projects to come! *The new siding installation is scheduled for October 25th 🤗 I can’t wait to show you all!

All my love,
Kassady

The siding for the Villa has officially been scheduled for October 17th! The condition of our wood siding is past the point of it being efficient to paint, so we decided to go with a contractor who uses local materials. Even though I had to compromise on the color scheme, I am so excited! Forever thankful for our guests and the support from our community. These improvements wouldn’t be possible without you 😍

Big changes happening at the Villa this season! Our beauty will be getting a new paint job 🤩 We haven’t finalized our color scheme, but this is the direction we are going in. We hope y’all’s love it as much as we do!

I don’t know about you, but I love this time of year. Winter is when I get to pull the drawing board out and let the ideas I spend all Summer dreaming about come to life. For now, it’s playing with a new logo.. but once the Holidays are over, it’s project time! We love you all so much and are so thankful. Happy Holidays and Warm Wishes from Kass & Joe at the Valois Villa 🏡🎄🛠

No filters needed today! The lighting was just so perfect this morning. As the season nears its end, we have found ourselves in awe of how amazing this opportunity has been.

Thank you to our guests and community for continuing to help us bring this beautiful home back to life!! We couldn’t and wouldn’t want to do it without you! 🥰
