Interior Design & Branding

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.
