The vintage boho home of artist Trish Grantham and musician Rentz Leinbach is filled to the brim with colorful, fun and quirky décor that fits them to a T. You’d never guess the place is a rental and they’ve lived in it less than a year. That’s probably because it’s a rental Trish got to wave her magic wand over before deciding she wanted to live there herself.
The landlords hired Trish, also an interior designer, to update the 1907 duplex in Portland, OR, so she selected paint colors, tile, light fixtures and more as the house was completely overhauled. When she saw the finished product, she just knew she had to call it home sweet home herself.
See how the couple’s antiques, art, and new and vintage furniture come together to create a “been-there-forever” vibe.

Woodwork original to the home mixes well with vintage pieces in the living room.

Trish selected the tile for the fireplace surround before she knew she’d be toasting her toes at its feet. Old books on the mantel come from one of her favorite shopping spots—the Paris Flea Market. The painting above the fireplace is one of hers.

A vintage midcentury chair is the perfect place to enjoy the couple’s vinyl record collection. The kitschy collection of deer over the dining room entryway were gifts that through the years became a treasured collection.

The couple’s dining table is an 1850s tabletop retrofitted onto antique piano legs.

Topping off the dining room table are air plants and a pair of ceramic bird liquor bottles under a cloche. Trish says the jade green curio cabinet, shown here in the background, is her biggest splurge.

The midcentury orange lamp is one of a pair. A friend has the mate in her home. Trish snagged the red Asian cabinet in the corner at a yard sale for $20.

Dining room walls are covered in bird prints Trish has collected over the years. The cuckoo clock, with its own carved bird, was a gift. A friend made the green chair.

Even more bird prints—several of them colorful flamingoes—adorn the wall the dining room shares with the kitchen.

Trish and Michael Paulus collaborated to paint the metallic gold palm fronds in the entryway. A collection of framed curios jazzes up a hallway leading to the home’s more private spaces.

The claw foot tub is original to the home. I love the classic black and white color scheme that shows off the room’s architectural features. The gallery wall around the vintage sink and mirror is both seaworthy and swoonworthy!

I couldn’t resist closing without this cute photo bomb by the other member of the household, Trish and Rentz’s pooch pal, Pablo.
