Hello from Its Just Living
It started with a 90 year old house.
Full of history and potential. A unique space with a mix of architecture and enough half rooms to match the full. The house was a vacation rental struggling to get bottom dollar, until it was reimagined from working with us.
The pandemic shone a light on the value of comfort with places we spend the most in. Something equally important when renting for experience.
We Came up with a plan
The joy came from getting to know the property then working with the owner to create a unique vision that would match the house.
When the rental value tripled in less than a month, we knew a mission had to begin.
Our Mission
To create comfortable spaces for people to feel home in.
