Festive flip — the room dressed for the season.

A listing that comes to market in late November reads as a July listing — bare mantel, clear porch, no seasonal warmth. Buyers shop in the season they're living in. A festive flip dresses the room or the exterior for the upcoming holiday so the photo lands in the right season without the seller hauling boxes from the attic.

The same engine handles Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Diwali, Hanukkah, Easter, Eid, Lunar New Year, Valentine's, fall décor, and birthday parties. The room's bones — paint, flooring, sightlines — stay where the camera saw them.

1. Décor is decorative, not structural. Garlands, wreaths, lights, table settings — no rebuilt mantels, no moved furniture.
2. Light direction and existing shadows stay where they were. Twinkle lights add a glow, not a relighting.
3. Festival language reads as the festival, not as a costume — restraint over kitsch, one decisive note over five competing ones.

Hi-res JPG paired with the original, so the brochure can show off-season and in-season as a sequence. Branded export per office. The manifest notes which festival the flip targets.

Used as a one-off rather than inside a Vesta run — festive flip is a seasonal moment, applied to the rooms and exteriors that need to read for the upcoming holiday.
