Hi. I’m Natalia.
I’ve been stirring the pot in Portland’s food and event scene for over 15 years — mostly in the best way possible. I’ve had a hand in everything from Negroni parties to oyster festivals, and I may be partially responsible for why people stayed out way past their bedtime at Feast Portland’s after-parties. In 2023, I channeled my love for organized chaos into Lively Events, a consulting company that helps businesses throw better parties (and occasionally tidy up their SEO in the process). These days, I’m also holding it down as the Director of Communication and Events at a local restaurant, where I help celebrate all the right milestones — and a few excuses I made up to celebrate too.
When I’m not knee-deep in logistics or plotting the next big event, I’m happily nesting at home, Casa de Main. This 120-year-old house — a “work in very slow progress” that I’ve been lovingly restoring — with my 22-pound mini Aussie, who somehow thinks she’s in charge. Out back, I grow a strange and wonderful collection of plants, making the yard feel like a slightly unhinged botanical experiment. It’s a good balance: big events, small dog, and a never-ending list of projects that somehow always involve at least three trips to the hardware store.
Very close to…everything?
Our home at 2324 SE Main Street is perfectly situated in the heart of inner Southeast Portland — nestled between the vibrant Hawthorne and Belmont neighborhoods, and just minutes from everything you need.

1. The Shared Living Situation
Welcome to Casa de Main! This is a shared home environment—something between roommates and neighbors. We each live independently, but we share proximity, sound, and energy. Please keep that hybrid spirit in mind when communicating, managing expectations, and maintaining respect for boundaries and shared spaces.
2. Quiet House & Shared Spaces
We keep a quiet house. Respect boundaries and shared spaces to the best of your ability.
Common spaces include the front porch, entryway, front sidewalk, front yard, and other shared areas. These areas should remain clear of personal belongings and people for prolonged periods.
The back porch is available for low-key hangs with a small number of guests. Please keep gatherings mellow and infrequent.
This is a social but quiet home—parties, heavy traffic, or loud lifestyles are not a fit for this space.

This is an old house—she has quirks!
Communicate all house issues via text.
Some quirks can be fixed to make the home livable and lovely; others may not.
No painting.
Do not drill or put holes in walls without prior approval—many are lath and plaster, and damage can expand quickly and expensively.
Conserve water—rates increase each year, and we try to be mindful.
6. Noise & House Rhythm
We will hear each other—especially footsteps!
Talking noise is minimal, but movement travels. White noise fans are highly recommended (and life-saving).
7. Trash & Recycling
Trash management is important:
No food waste in landfill bins.
Rinse all containers and sort properly.
Critters are real, and smells happen fast—especially in summer.
Aluminum cans are collected separately by a friend; please don’t recycle them municipally (or return them for $ yourself!).
See posted schedule for bin rotation and collection days.
8. Pets
This is a cat-friendly home (with approval).
No dogs other than the owner’s mini Australian Shepherd, who lives downstairs.
She barks sometimes, but she’s sweet and harmless.
You’re welcome to hang with her anytime—just ask first!

Some furniture is provided and may be used by the tenant until otherwise communicated.
Tenant understands that all furniture on site remains property of the owner and does not transfer ownership under any circumstance.
