This is our first post (of hopefully many), that will showcase work in progress and updates that we have done to The Little Gray House. We’ll also be posting on our experiences hosting an Airbnb and how we strive to always improve our guests experiences, whether they are with us for the first time or the fifth.
What do you do with a garden shed at an Airbnb? You turn it into a bar for guests!
The front of the bar opens with hydraulic lifters to create a covered area for guests to sit. The bar top is under construction in the garage – maple top with a side wrap of oak and will be eventually covered with a clear epoxy finish.
The inside of the chic shed is covered in slatted cedar and will have lockers, shelves and a changing area for the hot tub.
The bar wall is in and so are the hydraulic lifters. We’re coating the bar top today in clear epoxy and installing it as soon as it’s cured.
First, a seal coat. Then a pour over coat with some sparkles added in 🙂 The light is bad in the garage, but it still looks amazing!
And just like that, magic! The bar top cured for 72 hours, and we could not be happier with the results. Fully secured and mounted to the wall we’re almost ready to start serving (and maaannnnn, do my knees need it!).
Surprise photo, we added the tin to the front of the shed and stained it to match the interior! The trim, decorations and final touches are all that is left!
And that’s it! It’s all finished up and ready for guests. Drinks are chilling and we’ve got the game on! If you’d like to see more photos and book a stay, please see our Airbnb listing!
