Beautiful property. Well organized and very clean. The ambiance was so welcoming and lovely. Mural paintings made morning tea that much better! Host was always very quick to answer questions and provided us with trip suggestions. Definitely an enjoyable time! Would love to come back!

About the host
Hosted by Kimmie Gillespie
I moved to Houston in 2012 from Ohio. I fell in love with Houston right away and never looked back.
I bought this house as a single, independent girlie in 2020. It became my playground for designing spaces and practicing techniques for mural clients. The cool thing about walls is they can just be painted over!
Now that I’ve moved out, I want to inspire others to be bold with their spaces. I am not a multi-Airbnb owner or big investment company. It’s just me, spreading my love of art and Houston to people who come visit.
It would mean a lot to me if you left me a 5-Star review. I welcome privately messaged feedback as well if there is anything I can do to improve a guest’s stay.

Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is an expansion of the Heights. It is still close to all the main attractions Houston has to offer but more of a neighborhood feel. There is easy access to all major highways and there is so much to do in the hyper-local Garden Oaks/Oak Forest neighborhoods.
What makes this property unique
This home is full of whimsy. Each space is carefully curated based on the way the walls are painted. The half bath is classic cowboy theme, think old-school wild west. The living room has bold patterns and designs. The front door entryway floral mural is one of my favorites. It was actually inspired by the flower rug that is now at the top of the staircase. The primary bedroom was originally designed with a "boho sand princess" theme in mind. The secondary bedroom is super Texan theme with a cowhide rug and two original map paintings. The office space is simplistic, sophisticated fun with a gold-framed mural. Lastly the staircase is my pride and joy with yellow ombre stripes and hand painted "tally marks" going all the way to the ceiling (that was scary to paint up top!!) You'll find more artwork and whimsy throughout the home. I hope you leave feeling inspired to do something fun in your space.
