I’m Shelley, a Southern native who planted my roots in the Pacific Northwest at an early age. With a passion for designing spaces that are both inviting and budget-friendly, I’m on a mission to help you create a home and life that feel uniquely yours. Alongside my husband, Jason, and our sweet kitty, Kenai, I’m building our dream home while managing our Airbnb, sharing practical decor tips, and sprinkling in everyday moments of lifestyle inspiration. From home-building updates to personal stories about gardening, travel, or simply savoring life’s little joys, I’m here to show you how to create beauty in every corner of your world. A few things that shape who I am: my love for gardening, travel, whole foods, yoga, the outdoors, and beach days. As a recovering workaholic, I’ve learned that true joy is found where dreams meet action. What lights me up? Helping others design beautiful spaces and lives while staying on budget, redefining balance, and proving that your biggest goals are closer than you think. Let’s embrace affordable elegance, explore what makes life meaningful, and design spaces that bring comfort and joy.
