I've only personally gotten a sneak peak at the amazing work of Andrew Mayon's handiwork from the condo that I designed in Folly Beach. I wrote about the work and process in Waiting for Andrew Mayon to do his magic, now that I've done mine... Finishing in Folly Beach, SC. Last night, on Facebook, Andrew shared the sneak peek of this unit and I want to share it with you!
This is what the unit looked like when I first saw it. What my client wanted was a high end beach rental. This 3 bdrm, 3 bath unit rents for $1500 a week (a real steal) and had a budget of $20,000. Because the furniture was a tenants, that had to include everything in the unit.
Here is what the after photo looks like (thanks to the stunning photographic work of Andrew Mayon)
By the way, that's the ocean out those windows...
The last of the 'teasers' that Andrew has shared so far is the after photo for the master bedroom... Here is the before (after the tenant vacated)
It is an awkward narrow room. Rental regulations require a certain amount of furniture (dressers, TV, seating, etc). The homeowner and I agreed that this room needed a king bed to really work as a luxury unit.
Now I just can't wait for the rest of the photos!!!! Don't worry, I will be sharing!

Wow Melissa! Fabulous as always.
Lucky tenants there. And smart landlors to hire your company to stage this property.
Love your colour scheme.
A winning combination! Great staging and photos for a beautiful property!
Thanks again for the wonderful comments. Magazine cover? How cool would that be?
The colors are so soothing and they really compliment that beautiful view perfectly.
Melissa-Beautifully staged and what you did with the master bedroom is remarkable. Very upscale and not to cheeky-beachy.
