Knotty Pine Design, Downtown Portland, OR (2026)

A little before + after magic👇
This refresh was all about helping my client step into a new chapter; letting go of the “hodgepodge of an old life” and creating a space that actually feels like ✨hers✨. We focused on the living room, dining room, and hallway, layering in personality (and some seriously good Facebook Marketplace finds 👏).

The long, narrow living room definitely gave us a design challenge, but honestly… it might be one of my favorite transformations. Proof that a tricky layout just needs the right perspective.

This is just the beginning though! There’s so much more to show from this home. I cannot wait to share what we did with her vintage camera collection 📸 More coming soon…

…Until I spotted these preserved butterflies tucked between the random knick-knacks 🦋⬇️
Proof that you usually need to push past the ordinary for the best thrift finds.

These delicate little beauties were just $2.99 and $3.99 (!!) vs. the normal $50–$125 at retail.

Offbeat mixed media pieces like this are an easy way to bring texture, curiosity, and a little bit of wonder into any space — a home, business or short-term rental.

If you love the hunt but don’t always have time to search every shelf, let .design do it! We’ll scour shelves near and far for unexpected pieces that make your space feel layered, intentional, and just a bit special.

🎲 Treasure Spotlight: Game Night Edition 🎲

A Knotty Pine Design refresh isn’t just about how a space looks, it’s about how it lives. The best short-term rentals invite connection, nostalgia, and a reason to stay in just a little longer.

Enter the ultimate shelf staple 👇
MASTER MIND: a strategy classic that’s equal parts brainy and nostalgic. Easy to learn, surprisingly addictive, and perfect for all ages.

Bonus?
✨ Bold, vintage box art that doubles as decor (yes, it’s staying out on the shelf).
✨ A built-in experience for your guests.
Rainy night? Done. Family time? Covered.

It’s pieces like this that turn a simple stay into a core memory.

You don’t want your rental to look like everyone else’s… and honestly, it shouldn’t.

The truth is, guests remember how a place feels. The charm, the details, the pieces that make them pause for a second and say, “wait… I love this.”

That’s where we come in.

At .design , we design short-term rentals using thrifted treasures and estate-sourced pieces to create spaces that feel layered, lived-in, and completely one of a kind.

Better for the planet. Better for your budget. And way more memorable for your guests.

Because standing out isn’t optional anymore—it’s the whole strategy.
