YOU’RE A COASTAL/COTTAGE STYLE LOVER!

You beachy, white furniture lover, you! Your favorite style is all about the airy, relaxed feeling it gives you
when you walk in the door. White is your favorite color, and slipcovers are your best friend!

SO, WHAT THE HECK IS COASTAL/COTTAGE STYLE?

Cottage is somewhat like the styles of Vintage, Shabby Chic and Retro. But it is very casual and charming. Furniture is often adapted for other uses – like a bench becoming a coffee table. It also tends to be beachy, accented with sea shells and sand filled jars – but not so theme-y that your wallpaper is covered in lighthouses! Cottage style is airy and light and laid back. To love the Coastal Cottage style you can live anywhere – even the dessert. It’s more about the feeling and style than it is about the location.

Wait a sec!  Does this sound like you?

Hi, I’m Shannon.

Before we go any further, let me introduce myself. I believe home is the most important place on earth and it’s my passion to help other women create the home they’ve always wanted right where they are.

After a couple of decades of making our house a home (while homeschooling three kids), two years of professional interior design training, and two traditionally-published home decor and organization books, I am so excited to share what I’ve learned with you.
