cozy for christmas – an airbnb in St. Paul, MN

416 Fairview Ave. S. #2 -24

Picture yourself kicking back in modern leather comfort with the warmth of a fire and gentle glow of a Christmas tree,
a contemporary rug at your toes, with a view of inspiring art …

Is comfort and privacy what you dream of during the holiday,
yet don’t want to splurge on hotel rates?

Great rates can be found for a contemporary, cozy Christmas, in St. Paul.  This modern 2-bedroom Airbnb rests
above its near twin, the apartment below in a 1920’s home frame.  Avant-garde art garnishes its walls and end-tables, with a foosball console.  The ambiance is overall light and clean—accented with red, yellow and vanilla.  A master bath offers luxurious hotel-style amenities.  One can even disconnect from the MN winter chill, and envision a Hawaiian sunrise on the December day, as they sip on Hawaiian Paradise Coffee, each morning.

photoshoot with inspirational home matchmaker, hailey!

When I first arrived at the office to meet Hailey,
I was excited to encounter a bright face and cheery eyes, with a calm expression.
She was very personable immediately, more so than most people I meet these days.
We  took a seat in her airy office with high ceilings and stone walls, and began to discuss what she was looking for, from our photo session.
She shared the aspirations that tug at her heart.  She had so many great ideas!  And past her sparkling
presence, was great depth and purpose.

It was more than just a first-meeting with her, it was an instant connection, and possibly a life-changing
one.  She was able to create excitement not only about her own business, hopes and stirring dreams, but for my own!
How often do I find this?  Possibly, once only, in a blue moon!

Needless to say, when it came the day of her photo shoot, the excitement carried on.
My entry was met with a cup of hot coffee, complete with flavored creamer and sugar, a generous compliment
from her friend and my “stylist” for the shoot, Jill!
The collaboration of us, 3 women, sprang up with ongoing laughs.
Here are some of the images, from our collaboration.
