POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Just in case you forgot where we started… 👀🌴

A little reminder that this bright, tropical space used to look VERY different. We worked with most of what was already here, added color, texture and personality—and somehow made this small space feel so much bigger. ✨

Seeing the before and after side by side still gets me every time.

Would you have seen the potential in the “before”? 👇🏼

The heart of the condo is officially REVEALED! 🩵🌴

This little open-concept space had to work overtime as a kitchen, dining room AND living room—without feeling crowded. Soooo we had to get a little creative with the layout and take a random microwave cabinet in its proper place 😜
We kept the original cabinetry and floors, added a fresh teal backsplash, tropical details, and a few thoughtful touches to brighten everything up ✨

It wasn’t a gut renovation, but it feels like a completely different space—and now it finally has that relaxed Costa Rica vibe we envisioned. 🌿🌺

And the best part? That sofa lifts and reclines, so the condo can sleep four! BUT be on the lookout 👀 for our custom TEAL pullout sleeper sofa coming all the way from San Jose soon to make for an even comfier stay 🤩

What made the biggest difference—the backsplash, the rug or the tropical details? 👇🏼

If this bathroom could talk… 💬✨
It would probably say, “Thanks for believing in me.” 😂

Who knew wallpaper, brushed gold fixtures, and a few thoughtful details could completely change the vibe? (Pssst… this girl did. 🙋🏼‍♀️😉)

Sometimes the smallest room makes the BIGGEST statement. From dated to dreamy, this little bathroom ended up being one of our favorite transformations. 🌴💛

Which gold accent made the biggest impact? ✨
🪞 Mirror
🚰 Faucet
🚿Shower details
🧻 Towel bar & hardware

Our first space reveal is finally here! 🫶✨

When we bought this condo, this little bathroom had good bones—but it definitely needed some love. Since a complete renovation was out of the question, we challenged ourselves to work with what was already here.

We kept the original tile, vanity and beautiful Costa Rican wood, then added tropical wallpaper, an arched mirror, brushed-gold fixtures & accessories, and crisp white towels. Somehow, all the features that initially felt difficult to design around now feel like they were meant to be together!!

It’s not a full renovation—just proof that thoughtful changes can COMPLETELY transform a space without ripping everything out.

Swipe to see where we started…and tell us: which change made the biggest difference??? 👀

And that’s a wrap on our very short-lived renovation mockumentary. 😂🎬

Turns out renovating a condo in Costa Rica comes with a lot more laughs (and a few more wrenches 😜) than we expected… so we figured we’d introduce ourselves the same way.

Now the real fun begins! (Check out our Stories 👀)

Next stop: our first space reveal. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on. ✨🏝️

POV: You thought renovating a condo in Costa Rica would be easy… 😂🎬🌴

The documentary nobody asked for is officially in production. @netflix if you’re watching… we promise Part 2 is slightly more professional.
Maybe.

@hgtv where’s our renovation reality show? At this point, we’re wildly underqualified… which feels perfect for TV. 💁‍♀️

Would you watch? 👀🍿
