About This Space

Our cozy East Nashville home is our favorite creative space. We're both musicians and have filled our home with colors and antiques that inspire us- we've written a hundred songs in our music room, have hosted photo shoots and video shoots, and enjoy sharing our home with other creative souls. The 2bd, 1ba main level of our home has excellent natural light and the open floor plan allows for lots of flex space.

Marie was very great to work with! It snowed the day of our reservation and she was flexible with us. Her house looks exactly like the pictures and the day of she emailed very detailed information. The house was beautiful and clean. I text Marie to let her know we had left and she replied wishes is a happy anniversary. I could definitely see us renting out the space again. I can't say enough about how anazing it was to work with Marie.

Gorgeous home with plenty of light for a photo session, perfect for different looks and styles. I shoot more on the light and airy side but this home has tons of rich color tones through out that are great for a darker, moodier session too. The home is located in a cute neighbor hood, we had no issues finding parking on the street. I loved this cottage and would definitely book it again. Marie is quick to respond and very helpful.

The owners were so friendly, accommodating and hospitable - and the house was perfect; stunning interior design & decor, spotlessly clean and even beautiful smelling! I would highly recommend this space - the perfect Avvay experience.

Marie was a wonderful host, and the space was perfect for our photo shoot. Communication was great, and the house was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It is accurately depicted, but is actually improved from the pictures in the listing (most notably, 2 beautiful couches). Highly recommended.

This home was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our photoshoot! The natural light was literally to die for. We are so thankful Marie was gracious enough to open her home to us, we couldn’t have chose a better home or host for these photos! I sencerely hope we can make a return visit to the little green house one day!

Marie was super great to work with and photographing there was pretty great. Such a great space with a great vibe. I was so thankful that Marie moved some things around so we could make it work. We photographed two musicians there for a product promotion for Taylor Guitars. This collage was absolutely perfect. We can't wait to shoot there again.
