Hello.

Erica and her dog, Birdie

I’m Erica – the creative mind (and heart) behind Perennial Style! I have been in the design world for over 20 years now. I started my career as a graphic designer, and while that’s still a small part of my life, short-term rentals have stolen my heart.

In 2017, my husband and I decided to leave our home state of Texas and move our family to Washington where we now call Bellingham home. In 2021, we purchased a fixer-upper cabin near Mt Baker and spent over a year renovating and designing it to become an Airbnb. By the time we listed it in late 2022, I was hooked and knew I wanted to continue creating stand out spaces that offer guests a truly unique experience.

Since then, I’ve become a certified Airbnb Stylist and have had the privilege of working with incredible hosts across the country to create unforgettable stays. I love transforming spaces, especially finding creative ways to highlight their unique character while making them both beautiful and functional. But the best part? Reading glowing guest reviews and knowing I played a small role in helping families and friends make lasting memories together.

My Mission

We help short-term rental owners design standout spaces that feel thoughtful, inviting, and true to the property’s character. Our goal is to create designs that not only look great but also enhance the guest experience and set the rental up for long-term success—so owners can feel confident in their investment and see their property thrive.
