VERMONT MOTEL MAKEOVER

One of my favorite things to do is Modern Motel Makeover Design Projects. As an interior design for boutique hospitality properties, I find that we have to be creative on smaller budgets — which is always a fun challenge.

This project was a total renovation of a Vermont motel, Main and Mountain Bar and Motel. Turning an old managers apartment into a hip bar, updating all guest rooms of the motel, including halls corridors and creating a coffee room.

All aspects of the Interior design, including original concept, layout of spaces--including transform an unused manager’s apartment and small lobby into a bar, and overgrown front lawn into patio space with a gas fireplace, and custom furniture pieces, were designed by Joanne Palmisano. Joanne worked closely with local artisans and tradespeople to create unique and custom pieces.

This motel has received numerous accolades and won Vermont’s best new hotel in 2019 by Yankee Magazine, New England Editors.
