As part of HGTV’s 100 Day Hotel Challenge, we partnered with Brian Kleinschmidt and a dynamic team of HGTV designers to reimagine the Salter Path Inn into The Beacon Hotel—a vibrant, modern coastal retreat. With a tight 100-day timeline and a $225,000 budget, our goal was to infuse the property with color, energy, and a fresh identity.
Collaborating with Bryan and Sarah Baeumler, Michel Smith Boyd, Mike and Denese Butler, Carmeon Hamilton, Cristy Lee, and Poonam Moore, we led the transformation of each space to reflect a playful yet refined aesthetic. The interiors feature bright hues, layered textures, and thoughtful details that celebrate the hotel's seaside location while offering guests a boutique experience.
From the welcoming lobby to the reimagined guest rooms and luxury suites, every element was designed to evoke a sense of joy and relaxation. The Beacon now stands as a testament to collaborative creativity and the power of design to breathe new life into cherished spaces.
