Wraparounds & Peekaboo Moments: Art for Short Term Vacation Rentals

2 hours ago

Hey, that mural really ties the house together!

We love painting a single exterior wall or fence to bring more color and life to a garden or a poolside deck, transforming your back yard haven with one point of aesthetic focus

But what if that aesthetic, vibey, artistic experience wrapped around the entire yard?

Very Pink & Super Tropical

Beyond being a great muralist and overall ass kicker, Founder Steph has an unbelievable talent for design, for taking an idea, a mood, or a motif and extending it across the entirety of a space, both indoors and out.

We call these wraparounds: One or two central panels are fully muraled with art and we use other fences and walls to thoughtfully, strategically extend the aesthetic experience throughout the space.

Starry Nights & Stripes

Have a piece of beloved art you'd like reflected outside? Interesting decor objects that just NEED to be turned into murals next to the hot tub? We got you.

We work with you closely, collaborating through time-tested and proven design processes to align our art with your aesthetic choices.

We study your aesthetic and extend it into our work with matched color palettes, subject matter, and motifs adapted from your home's existing or planned design.

Pink and Yellow Florals

One of the things we truly love are "peekaboo moments." They pull exteriors into interiors and tie the two together.

Peekaboo moments happen when the exterior wraparound murals and extended color panels are visible from inside the home. Not just visible, but visible in a way that enhances and punctuates the design of the space.

Starbursts & Cool

This one started with the wall hangings you see in the photos above the beds. Those things turned into some very time-consuming shapes to paint (especially doing it like 12 times in one yard!).

Sunset & Chill

Talk about PEEKABOO MOMENTS! The way this simple sunset gets framed into the living space of this vacation rental is just....chef's kiss good! 🤌😘

We've are privileged to work with amazing people and companies on all of our projects, but one of our very favorite and longstanding partnerships is with Gatherbound,

Gatherbound is a boutique vacation rental company based in Austin that designs, manages, and curates vibrant, group-friendly properties. We got connected with Jillian and Jason a few years back and the "shared vibe" was instantaneous.

The Watery Blue Bliss property above and the Pink Barbie property down below are both part of an eight-unit super-rental in Northeast Austin managed by Gatherbound. We got to paint all eight yards in this massive place!
