Airbnb home in Tupelo reflects owner’s style

TUPELO – Rhonda Chrestman opened her staffing agency 27 years ago, and it has kept her busy.

But not quite busy enough it seems, as she also has about a dozen spaces in a trio of antique businesses, in addition to a trio of bed and breakfast homes. Her newest is only about a month old, and Airbnb guests who have stayed have loved it.

Chrestman calls it her “Hollywood Bungalow.”

As soon as guests step across the threshold, they’ll see why: The house is boldly colored and decorated, reflecting the free-spirited style of Chrestman. Paintings and images of stars adorn the walls and shelves: Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Lucille Ball, Stevie Nicks, the Beatles, and more.

The mid-century modern look has walls painted a light shade of purple, and lime and blue to match the decor in each room. And of course there’s a splash of orange, pink, and brown, too. The beaded curtains in a couple of entryways are another throwback touch.
