It’s all for the love of furniture! Growing up in Bend, I constantly changed my room around, swapped out furniture, restyled the house, and drew in my art books while in class at Bend High. Craving a metro city life, I dreamt of New York design schools and one particular interior design teacher ignited my interest in space planning, color, graphics, and furniture. After pursuing education and work opportunities outside of the area, I realized that my true calling was right here at home. While I was busy being a parent, I got immersed in event life and began DJing weddings, dances, and non-profit events with Flip Flop Sounds. I love people and music, so it fit for quite a while until I discovered my passion for real estate. Whether it’s finding their dream home or being a piece of their dream wedding, I’m confident in my ability to make magic happen. I also stepped into a coaching position and lead a team of cheerleaders at MVHS and out of this, the ‘cheerful realtor’ brand was born. I loved being busy with various roles. To relax, I would hike, see live music and dance. During this time, I went to a country concert in Las Vegas called Route 91 Harvest Festival, which ended up being the largest mass shooting in US history. In healing from that trauma, I started painting again, but this time my canvases were pieces of furniture. Now with 7 years of refinishing furniture, I set out to mesh all of my skills into one brand, Cheerful Redesign. I get to create and transform spaces, help people find properties, and provide unique designs, furniture rentals and genuine service; helping people navigate life’s biggest milestones. And, and, and. I know it’s a lot to do, but this is what fuels me, sparks my mind, lifts my soul, keeps me young, creative and, well, cheerful at heart.
We had the pleasure of working with Leah Latham of Cheerful Redesign & Real Estate recently, and she did a fantastic job staging our furniture and design layout for our After Hours Networking event. Her passion for her work is palpable, and her experience and design acumen are great assets for staging any spaces you're in need of. She has a large collection of furniture and design elements which are regularly updated, so there are lots of layout options to choose from.
Amazing place to find the classiest of furniture for staging your home!
Highly recommended!!! Leah provided furnishings for an event I hosted and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Great sense of design & style and an obvious passion for what she does. Can't recommend enough for anything furnishing/style/design related!
Not only does she know what she is doing with a stylish flare, but it is also comfortable! Such a great collection, thank you Leah!
We included a lounge set up for our wedding that was a perfect addition to the space, and an ideal place for adding personal touches and for extra guests seating. The lounge set included two beautiful pink armchairs and a loveseat, rug and chest. The team easily worked with our coordinator for an easy setup and clean-up process. We would highly recommend them!
Leah was so helpful and amazing! She came to my rescue a few weeks before my wedding and collaborated with me to find the perfect rental set up for my venue. The set up was so smooth and the furniture was beautiful!
We rented some cool furniture from Leah for our holiday party and the employees loved it! We created intimate lounge seating in fun, vibrant colors and she helped us in picking things out and placement! Can't wait to use Cheerful again this year!
Leah's creative and caring mind truly takes the customers vision to the next level! We are incredibly happy with the pieces we've purchased and can't wait to see what she comes up with down the road! Thanks Cheerful-Redesign!!!
Leah is a gem! Her expertise and knowledge are invaluable in the buying/selling decision-making process. She goes out of her way to make dreams happen and displays kindness and compassion in all she does. I highly recommend using Leah’s services for your real estate needs.

Getting the opinion of others! I have a mahogany antique dining set that no one wants ‘as is’ so I was going to modernize it with a little Cheerful flair 🤗 thoughts?
