Welcome to The Happy Place!

We’re Kim and Francisco—partners in life, creativity, and all things home.

We’ve spent decades crafting spaces that bring people joy, whether through art, photography, or real estate. When we’re not helping folks find their dream homes, you’ll find us capturing stories in our backyard photo studio, sculpting new creations, or being thoroughly entertained by our two quirky cats (who, don’t worry, won’t be making an appearance in your space).

We’ve called Portland home for years and absolutely love our Sellwood Moreland neighborhood—walkable streets, charming shops, and just the right mix of city buzz and laid-back vibes. Hosting guests at The Happy Place is an extension of everything we love: welcoming people into thoughtfully designed spaces and sharing a little slice of what makes this corner of Portland special.

Whether you're here to explore, unwind, or find inspiration, we hope The Happy Place makes you feel at home. And if you ever need tips on local gems or a great spot for a morning pastry, just ask—we’re always happy to share!
