#HudsonValleyCreatives ✨ Meet Azie Shelhorse —

#HudsonValleyCreatives
✨ Meet Azie Shelhorse — the imaginative soul behind {verdigreen} What started as a humble Etsy shop in 2010 has grown into a bold, joy-fueled design journey. Azie revives old buildings + vintage gems, turning them into vibrant spaces full of life, color and story — like the iconic Twin Gables in Woodstock. 🏩

🎨 From hand-painted murals to whimsical boutique hotels, her work blends heart, heritage and play — all rooted in her real-life balance of motherhood, creativity + entrepreneurship.

INSIDE+OUT caught up with Azie to explore how she brings intention + magic to every space she touches. Let's take a peek 🫣 below...

INSIDE+OUT: Your lodging destinations were “founded by design and rooted in community.” Can you share your design process around this mission?

We’re travelers at heart, so it was important our hotels reflect the spirit of each destination. In a world of cookie-cutter chains and DIY Airbnb stays, we aim to offer authentic hospitality — warm welcomes, thoughtful service, and personal touches that make guests feel truly cared for.

Before renovating, I spend time getting to know the building, the community, and future guests, letting that inspiration guide the design. We work with local contractors, source decor from nearby artists and shops, and donate previous furnishings to local organizations like Family of Woodstock. From day one, we root ourselves in the community — and over time, we become a part of its fabric. -Azie Shelhorse
