ABOUT DEERLY BELOVED DESIGNS

Where Rentals Shine, Art Speaks, and Every Sale Saves Lives

Hey there! I’m Michelle, founder of Deerly Beloved Designs. I’m a short-term rental designer, animal rescuer, and co-creator of some of the boldest, quirkiest, most soul-fueled pieces you’ll find this side of the internet.

This shop is more than a store.
It’s a mission. A movement. A love letter to creativity, community, and creatures great and small.

For Short-Term Rental Hosts: If your Airbnb or vacation rental isn’t performing like it used to, you’re not imagining things. Bookings are down across the board, some by 65% or more. And guess what? Basic isn’t going to save your listing… but remarkable will!

I help STR hosts turn forgettable spaces into five-star stunners with personality-packed design that commands attention (and better nightly rates). From full-on glow-ups to curated refreshes, I create environments that feel magical, marketable, and memorable.

For Shoppers & Art Lovers: Welcome to the cozy, slightly wild side of design. Here you’ll find: Wildlife-inspired t-shirts with heart, humor, and meaning, Canvas art & home decor rooted in story and soul, Outside-the-box drops that are bold, empowering, and just the right amount of weird.

Many designs begin as AI prompts but make no mistake — the vision is 100% mine. Think of it as co-creating with the universe. Every product here carries intention, originality, and that “whoa, where’d you get that?” energy.

Giving Back:

Here’s what truly sets Deerly Beloved apart:
10% of every sale goes to the Gimme Shelter Pet Emergency Fund, helping people in rural communities afford life-saving veterinary care for their pets.

I’ve run my nonprofit for over 20 years, and this fund means the world to me. Every t-shirt you rock, every canvas you hang, every space we transform together, it all gives back.

Why I Do This:

Because I believe in creating things that matter.
Because I believe a home (or a hoodie) should make you feel something.
Because I believe art can save animals.
And because the world needs more heart,  and fewer boring rentals.

So, no matter if you’re here to glow up your guest space, fill your walls with wonder, or wear something that speaks for your soul…
You’re in the right place.

Let’s design something wild together.
