It’s not all roses (or sunflowers) though. Most people know this, but just in case, here’s a little education. Most likely, the AirBnb that you choose to stay in is owned by someone who put blood, sweat, and tears into it. Who spent a lot of money, time, and effort making things “just so” for you. Some owners are also the cleaners, like us. So when you stay at an AirBnb, make sure you’re courteous, respectful, and communicative. If an accident happens and something breaks, just let us know! Also, stealing is bad. 🤦🏼‍♀️ It could’ve been a LOT worse, and we’re grateful it wasn’t, but it’s just a little disheartening. Here’s hoping we get the $500 from stolen items, lost revenue, and cleaning fees in one night’s stay back. 1. Broken toilet lever 2. Empty detergent canisters…couldn’t possibly have done 40 loads of laundry in one night. 3. Empty basket where throw blanket used to be.

We’ve got sunflowers! They’re one of my favorites, so I was delighted to see them coming up this spring. A little happy patch greeting you as you walk in!

Well, we’ve been open almost a month! In June, we’ve been blessed to have been booked 21 out of 30 days! We’ve been pleasantly surprised at how great all of out guests have been, and have really enjoyed the experience so far! If you’d like to see it, or are interested in looking for an open date to come stay, check us out at https://www.airbnb.com/h/thelilgetaway. We’d love to have you!

Guys, we’re so close! I haven’t posted in a while because it feels like it’s going really slow at the end, but if you’re not in the business, it’s hard to know that there are so.many.layers. So many things that are unseen have to get done. HGTV shows are not real life people! We are really happy with how it’s starting to come together. In full transparency, there is a possibility that we might try to rent longer term to traveling nurses instead of going through AirBnb or do both. Still trying to figure that out. A few cool things you’ll see in these pictures...The faux leather couch is a futon, and the coffee table lifts up to become a desk or table to eat at. The chairs are recliners, and there’s a trundle bed in the smallest room. Technically, completely full, this single wide trailer has space for 6 adults (7 if you’re short enough to fit on the futon), and a couple of pack-n-plays for babies. If you ever have a family reunion in Burbank or the Tri-Cities, this is the place for you! More pictures to come as we get closer to being finished. Thanks for following along! Also, don’t ask me what’s on tv because I’ve got no clue! 🤣 Comment below, what is your favorite thing about the trailer so far?

For those wondering what we painted the trailer, it’s sage green! What do you think? With the landscaping and fence we’re planning to eventually do, we think it’ll look really nice! Also, here’s a trick for small rooms…mirrored closet doors! They make the space appear so much bigger and bring more light in. I’m so excited to start decorating soon!

Eek you guys! Look at how beautiful!! 🤌🏻🤌🏼🤌🏽🤌🏾🤌🏿 Floors are down, doors are in, and trim is being put in!

We just got back from delivering the exterior paint and got a chance to peek in! Also, I wanted to show you where that specially cut piece of wood went (see a few posts back). What color do you think we chose for the exterior?

I love that they’re patient enough to let our older girls be involved.

Reasons You Make Sure To Hire The Right Crew #264: Experience and Heart. Don Chuy has over 30 years of experience as a carpenter, so when the cost of wood is high, and they want to charge you $20 per piece for wood cut like this, he says “no way!”, buys the $8 piece of wood, and cuts it to look like the $20 piece. That’s a huge savings for us! I appreciate how Ezequiel, my brother-in-law and the boss, doesn’t throw away any wood. You never know what you might need, and especially with prices the way they are, it’s a skill to know how to save and reuse. My other brother-in-law, Miguel, saw that these beautiful flowers planted in the yard would get squished, so he went out of his way to dig them up and move them to the very edge of the yard, where they wouldn’t get trampled. We are thrilled to have such awesome guys doing this project! If you have any work you need done this year, I’d love to refer you to them!

Lots of mudding happening over at The Little Getaway! Also, look at those beautiful can lights (right hand corner) and the paint cans too. It’s going fast!

New windows, new front door, and lots of framing going on! It’s all so exciting!

The state of our garage right now. 🥴 Shopping for decor has 100% been the funnest part of this project so far. Facebook Marketplace is where it’s at right now! So many people are moving and trying to get rid of their things at decent prices! We still need to outfit the kitchen, and need your help! We plan on looking at Goodwill, but has anyone seen any great sales on dish sets or silverware lately?

Playing catch up. A few days ago was demo day so I thought I’d show you what we’re working with!
