Introducing Charlotte Cunningham, our Senior Accounts Associate who recently celebrated her 1 year anniversary at Minoan!

Charlotte’s hobbies include playing tennis, running, biking, going to concerts, visiting museums (loves the MoMA in NYC), and reading poetry.

3 Tips to Create a Luxury Bed in Your STR! 🛏️✨
Our friends at Lulu and Georgia know bedding and how to style a bed to wow your guests! Here are their 3 simple tips to create that luxury look and feel:
1: Start with high-quality sheets and shams. High-quality linens provide a luxurious and comfortable sleeping experience & tend to be more durable and long-lasting than cheaper options.
2: Add layers with quilts and coverlets. Not only will this add additional texture and color, but they're also helpful for accommodating guest's varying temperature preferences.
3: Keep pillows simple yet impactful – no need to pile on tons of throw pillows. One to two carefully curated lumbar pillows will do the trick, just keep to the same overall color palette.
Don’t forget, now, through the end of the year, Minoan members get extra savings on all purchases from Lulu and Georgia – time to elevate that bedding!
We partnered with short-term rental designer, host, and curator club member Jilayne Smith to create a curated collection of design inspiration for a cozy Lakeside Cottage! 🌲🏠 ✨ Head over to our Pinterest page at the link below to check out the full board.
